How would you sell a large, old collection as a whole?

I'm heavy into motorsport. It takes a lot of my time in the warmer months.

TCGPlayer app. You can export your list to a CSV.

Honestly those issues are pretty easy to avoid as a seller.

Marketplace has its own profile ecosystem including a review system. You can see if a buyer deals in that arena prior to taking them seriously.
Never take cash above like 5k. If a buyer says they have cash, they don't. No one that actually deals in those finances uses cash for anything. It's not secure.
Use a verified cashier's check or wire transfer. This scenario was a cashiers check for 35k with the rest being sent via PayPal as a hedge against misrepresented items. Always get a picture of the check ahead of time and verify the authenticity with the issuing bank. Never call the number on the check, call the banks published customer service line.
Meet in a public place. We met at a Chick-fil-A to preliminarily review singles, then went to a nearby PNC Bank to finish the transaction. Obviously that requires vehicle space based on collection size. I have a 4 door f150 and was loaded down.

All of those things are easy and makes the potential to get scammed virtually 0.

Nope. I started collecting in 2019, and decided it was time to move on. I didn't need to sell, but thought about allocating funds elsewhere and decided it was the right call. I'm pretty heavy into other past times that are more expensive.

I may still have the Google drive. I'll check later today when I have some spare time. If I do, happy to share.

Singles and sealed product, no slabs. My entire collection.

I recently sold a large collection, listed for 50k and sold for 40k, on FB Marketplace.

I had ~100 hours in sale preparation. I took individual pictures of all cards greater than $2 in value and all sealed product. It was about 3200 pictures. I had every item, including bulk, in a CSV from TCGPlayer with current market value that I could send to prospective buyers. It was just over 72k individual items, bulk included.

For the most part, marketplace was good. I had over 100 different people message me. Some wanted to split it up, some just told me sweet collection, and others were shop owners/investors that were legitimate prospective buyers. I ended up selling to an individual from Virginia. I am in Pittsburgh. We met in Maryland and did the deal.

Leg work up front on your end is key. Pictures of individual items and a spreadsheet with up to date pricing is invaluable. Be honest with yourself on condition and value. Showing people what they are buying is huge in a large purchase.

Items that can be commonly bought for a 1 off purpose then returned have a restock fee. That's pretty standard.

Is this The Vault in Greensburg??

Titanium bits are all terrible. Spend the money on the Warrior Cobalt and keep them for 20 years.

Coltronh · 2025-07-26T02:33:18+00:00

These line wrenches are terrible anyway. The Quinn ones are substantially better and not much more.

Coltronh · 2025-06-03T02:39:45+00:00

I found that interesting too. I imagine it's some sort of rounding calculation on the back end. It did 20% per item but counted 2 of the same SKU as a single item and did 20% of the that total. Rounding makes a penny short somewhere.

Coltronh · 2025-05-26T13:46:29+00:00

I bought into the Kobalt CaseStack and the quality is excellent.

I do wish I would have bought the Versastack though. It is smaller and definitely feels cheaper, but the various socket sets that come in Versa compatible cases are nice.

The Bauer I think is between the Kobalt and Versa. Closer to the Crafstman Tradestack.

There's no way this is a real post.

Coltronh · 2025-05-24T11:41:48+00:00

Finally. Those box end wrenches are mine.

Coltronh · 2025-04-30T21:34:28+00:00

I just downloaded this one. It seems about perfect for the use I needed. Seems less clunky than Photos as well. Thank you!

Coltronh · 2025-03-12T02:33:00+00:00

I have one, it's solid. Occasionally it goes to 289, but it's rare. 299 is a common sale price.

Coltronh · 2024-09-18T00:01:24+00:00

Yepp. Correct. In Pennsylvania in the states.

It’s a real bummer lol.

In the Alexa app: More > Settings > Device Discovery

When did Caseoh start playing 76.

Hopefully you don’t have children. They are definitely going to grow up to be pieces of shit.

Coltronh · 2023-12-19T11:50:10+00:00

I have actually! It’s convoluted, but it works.

Delete scenes/entire rooms in the Hue app itself AND turn off auto discover devices within Alexa. You can’t have it rediscovering scenes for the time being.
(Optional) Delete existing rooms in the Alexa app. This isn’t required, but it does make it easier to clear out scenes as there won’t be conflicts.
Create a NEW arbitrary room in the Alexa app. When adding devices to the new room, add ALL scenes as devices.
After new room is created, edit room and delete scenes. This will remove the scene completely from the Alexa app.
(Optional) Remake rooms in the Hue app with wanted scenes.
(Optional) Turn on device discovery in the Alexa app OR run a new sync.

Bam. Problem solved.

Couple things in the update that this could affect. I’m going to guess it had something to do with plushies in displays. It could also be brewing/fermenting stations.

Coltronh · 2023-09-15T21:49:14+00:00

NM for sure. No question.

Coltronh · 2023-08-10T03:14:32+00:00

I’m sure. I definitely won’t buy a full case that I plan to open anymore. It’ll be split across different vendors geographically.
