just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 04/18/2011 07:39 am If there are any coin shows in your area, try going and seeing if any of the dealers deal with World coins. If so ask if he would sell yours for his cut of the profits. Would be the fastest, easiest method. However, a few problems with that. As already noted you would probably be splitting about 50/50. You would not really know how much he sells them for unless you stood right there. You may never see him again. You could try coin stores but I think you would get about the same as a coin show or even less. At least he wouldn't just vanish. Try renting a table at a coin show yourself. What doesn't sell by the end of the show, offer to any dealer there that will take them. Put the entire lot up on ebay and note must sell all together. Naturally mention Not Searched. I just checked out that link that said Quote: Here's a link for ya... http://www.coincommunity.com/coin_consignment/ And note it did say specialized in US coins but they may well also deal with World coins. Again, 32% isn't bad considering all they do. Try contacting them. Edited by just carl 04/18/2011 07:43 am Report this Post to the Staff

SA4H Pillar of the Community United States 2764 Posts	Posted 04/22/2011 2:49 pm Susan, I hope you are doing OK and everything is fine now. I never did any consignment so I don't know the detail but I have heard of 50/50 or 60/40 commission split. At 32% is not very bad at all, considering: 12% for ebay, 3% for PayPal, may be 5% for shipping material (I can give example on this: I bought a total of $23.51 in coins, they charged me $3.50 for shipping and packed with layers of bubble wrap that was more safe/secure than my other purchase of $300+ package.... the shipping cost alone was close to $3.50, if you have done enough shipping then you'll know. Btw, the USPS have increased their rate now). Susan is a very nice person and it was great dealing with her! Good luck. Edited by SA4H 04/22/2011 2:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
