Answer 1

There is no magic consistant number. It is mostly luck and timing. One day an item could go for $100 and the next day only $60.

I am a power seller on Ebay and have already learned there is no rhyme or reason to what things can and will go for.

Answer 2

Take some of the cards that you are tying to sell and see if anyone on E-bay is selling the same ones and how much they are going for. If a lot of people are selling the same ones, you should wait until there aren't many of them being sold. Sometimes it pays to wait. Also, think about whether you will make more money if you sell them as a lot or if you sell them one by one or in groups of 10 or so.

Answer 3

A good idea is to go to the library or book store and research current sports card collector magazines and books, specifically those that offer suggested values. A better way to get a more realistic idea of what you would actually get for them is to sign up as a visitor to an online auction site and search for the specific cards you have. You can see how many people are willing to buy them and how much they are willing to pay.

Answer 4

Honestly, you are going to be disappointed! I also had some very valuable cards and when I look them up, they are worth pennies!!!! You may get 50 bucks at most for the whole collection. Best bet is to go through and find the ones that you feel are the most valuable and hold on to them just for memories. online auctioning has murdered card values!!

Answer 5

it all depends on whether you have individual cards that are desirable or just a bunch of....cards.

I sold 500 cards for 50$. I didn't care what I got for them.

If you think you have some that are valuable, take them to an appraiser who specializes in this kind of thing. DO NOT SELL THEM TO THAT PERSON! Dont tell them you're putting them on Ebay, either. Tell them it's for "insurance purposes".

Answer 6

The best thing would be to go on ebay and look around and see what others are selling theirs for. You also may want to weigh them and go to the U.S. Post Office web site to see how much this will cost you in shipping; you need to make sure that you ask for enough in shipping so that you don't lose money in your shipping.

Good luck.

Answer 7

There a several different determining factors. The rare ones in mint condition pay the highest. You'll just have to do some research on ebay and compare do what you have..Do the advanced search on what has already been sold.

Answer 8

well, there is realy no telling an amount that you will get - it just all depends on who is in the market and how much they are willing to spend !
to give yourself an estimate of what you could possably get - go to Ebay and look up the cards and see what they are going for - this will give you a ball park figure of what you might possably get if they sell

Answer 9

I would just do a search and see what it is going for. You never know your market. I don't know if you have something of value in particular or not, but certainly collectors will have their eye out for something rare and valuable. Otherwise it is hard to say what you will get back from it.

Answer 10

Too many variables...how many sets, what year, what company, how many rookie cards, condition, and duplication will determine price. You would probably do better taking them to a dealer who can made a fair assessment.
