Been meaning to get to this for a while but life has gotten in the way of me focusing on trimming the edges of my collection.  I’ve been more a buyer than a seller and haven’t sold in a while.  Have an orange b3 in shrink thinking to sell.  I know on eBay there is one for sale with a BIN for 12k.  It’s non shrink.  Thoughts on price in the non COVID times we find our collections?  Best places to list?  I’ve only sold on eBay but not sure what fees would be on a large sale.  Any sage advice?

Absolutely beautiful collection of rares!!!

While the Facebook groups are great, items on eBay still gets the most views. I cannot speak to their current fee structures as a casual seller.

As far as a selling strategy, recently another member listed some rares here for sale, later posted a few of them on various Facebook groups, and then listed two on eBay with an auction format and minimum starting bid. I think this is a fairly reasonable approach and would help to avoid the eBay fees.

With all that in mind, I would have a firm price in place but be willing to negotiate if you really need to sell.

As far as the Orange B3 in shrink, depending on the condition, I would think 12k+ would not be unreasonable.

Gee, Mrs. Cleaver ... That certainly is a lovely dress.

Ebay will be 13-14% up to a certain $ amount and then 2-2.5% over that amount. You would also pay an additional 1.65% if it is an international sale and you do not use ebays international shipping (you ship the item on your own via whatever carrier you choose)

Example..module sells for $12k. You will pay 13% on $7500 and 2.35% on the amount over $7500

Agreed on having a set price in mind, then negotiate, if that's the path you choose. That's easier to do for items that have a semi-recent auction history. But a lot of it is also your preference.

The value of B3 may also depend on who was its original owner. People may pay a few extra bucks if it's an ex-TSR employee, or something similar. I don't think we have a data point recently of one in shrink, so eBay would present the best upside, in my view.

Thanks for all this good info.  I may post it here for a bit and see if any takers.  I may have a few other rarities to let go.  The ghost tower of Inverness DM copy was Jim Wards as was the Tamoachan convention copy.  I also want to be sure the Acaeum has these in their records and if not we properly get them in the registry.

The B3 I bought on eBay years ago.  The guy said he bought it from a person whose parent had worked at TSR.  He wasn’t sure of a specific name when I asked.

Two Red Sonja RS1 modules... That's a bit unbalanced. I will happily buy one off you, for I have none :)

I’m interested in your green tournament module in the front row….
