I have numerous collectibles that I'd like to sell (a wide variety of things that I've had since I was a kid).
I refuse to sell on eBay again. The listing fees on eBay are relatively high and there's a lot of scamming going on with eBay these days.
I was thinking of holding a yard sale but I'm concerned that I won't attract the right sort of people - I won't be able to move these items for a decent price.
I've also considered CraigsList (with the same concerns as the yard sale). Then I found sell.com but I'm weary of the success rate.
I need a method that doesn't charge much by way of advertising/sellers fees.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to HOW I should go about selling collectible items? (eBay is NOT an option)
Should I try selling online? Which site should I use?
If I have a yardsale, how do I attract the buyers interested in collectibles?
Any tips would be appreciated - Thanks.

Mostly Barbies and resin Boyds Bears.
I haven't gone through the boxes since we've moved...There are so many that they've taken up my spare bedroom =P

I just found out that Yahoo Auctions is now FREE!
I am going to try that first and if all else fails I will try a yardsale/fleamarket booth.
You guys are great! Thanks for the info!

Well, you were right about Craigslist...it is the best way to go because it is free! I wouldn't be concerned. Just advertise your Yard Sale on Craigslist and good luck!

have you heard of a flea market. You could set up a table locally and sell for your asking price. When it comes to advertising put it in the newspaper about what you have and let them know where you will be. good luck

ebay. If the items you want to sell are that collectible, make certain you include the listing fees in your shipping and handling charges. You should also set a minimum amount. DON'T USE that stupid reserve amount.

Have a yard sale and advertise in your local paper what you have to offer. And, of course, "not responsible for accidents".
