Auctions:
Like to Gamble? Auctions are a “one time” shot to generate the most money. You can’t control sales prices and selling prices of even valuable items are mostly determined by potential buyers that happen to be present and paying attention at the time an item is auctioned. As a result, your earning potential can be greatly reduced. In addition to paying for advertising, most auction companies charge sellers for the hours their employees work preparing andworking the sale. Sometimes when it is over, there is still a lot of clutter, work, stress, and aggravation still up to you.
E-Bay Service:
E-bay is a service we DO offer as we recognize that some rare and unusual items need a larger than local market. However, recent changes in E-bay Selling Fees and payment policies have not made E-Bay the most profitable place for our clients. With a larger viewing audience E-Bay can sometimes bring a higher price on certain rare items, but by the time ebay fees, required insurance and pay pal fees are paid, plus the commission fee to the selling agent, the actual money you will walk away with is not as desirable. We are happy to discuss these options to figure out what would be best for you.
