I want to sell nearly ten years worth of collecting baseball cards. What should the asking price be?

Question

I am moving out of state in less than one month and I hoped to let them go at a garage sale this weekend. Would it be best to just ask "one price take all"?

Answer 1

$3000.00

Answer 2

There is NO WAY to answer this question the way it was asked. We would have to know what is in the collection and the condition to be able to give even a rough estimate. 10 years of collecting for one person may be a couple packs per year, and 10 years of collecting to someone else may be to buy a box or even a case of every product available.

Answer 3

typically, you will never get as much money for an 'one price takes all' deal, but you also won't be left with a ton of cards either.

The last thing anyone wants is cherry pickers.
But, we don't know anything about your collection, is it all in packs, are they in singles, sets, what types.

If you have good cards mixed with crap cards, then you would have to split them up as you don't want crap prices with your good cards.

You could also sell them in theme lots, (ie, all 2000 topps in one lot, 98 Donruss in another).

That being said, if you have any 1995 Topps Traded (boxes or just lots), I would be interested in those.

Answer 4

Just put a sign near the collection that says "Make an offer", and if the offer is acceptable, then take it, if it isn't, then give them a counteroffer, it is called haggling.

Answer 5

$50. People won't buy it for any more than that. I'd just hold onto them. Or do as I did and throw away useless ones and keep good ones. Saves space.

Answer 6
