Collection For Sale/Need Help with Appraisal (1 Viewer)

[Regnar Rick]

Hi All!

I use to be active on the forum years ago while I was in high school. Long story short, however, I ended up the in the military after high school, started new hobbies and stopped collecting. Now that I'm out and in undergrad, I recently discovered my old collection in my parents' basement and am looking to part ways with the majority of it. If anyone could help me appraise what some of these items are worth (moderators if this is the wrong place to post this topic, please move it to the correct area), and anyone who would like to purchase any of the items listed below please feel free to make an offer.

Best, Jake

Hi Jake,
If you have the time, ebay would be a good way to parse out your items, it is a good collection, but not so many pieces that it would be a monumental task.

Now, if you don't want to deal with that, you can always contact Julie here at Treefrog and take a look at the consignment service she offers. Treefrog has a large worldwide audience and I am pretty sure you will have a number of takers for your items specifically some of the old Conte Sets, some of the Omaha sets are quite hard to find.

Finally, you can always take parts at a time and list for sale on here.

One more way is to sell the collection in bulk for instant cash, but be prepared to realize pennies on the dollar to what you paid as there will be a large discount when selling in bulk.

Good luck
Tom
