Selling pin collection question

[YAY3!]

I am looking to sell off my whole pin collection and was curious what would be the best way to go about it. I don't have a HUGE collection, I have around 400-600 pins probably and I am moving to a new place and can not take them with me. Id really like to sell them as one whole lot to make it easier, but how would I find someone to buy and how would I price it?

The problem with selling as one lot is you won't get anywhere near the value for them. If you have rare pins it would be best to sell seperate. If you would like help, you can pm me. I also know some who are interested in buying whole collections.

I'm just starting out so I'm looking to add some of the cheaper, easier to find pins to my collection. PM me if you're interested.

I always hate it when good people get away from the hobby. Best of luck to you!!!

I might suggest selling pins in Lots. Depending on your collection, you could sell your Eeyore pins as a lot, your Tink's, your Chip and Dale as a lot etc (I dont know your collection but those are examples). I think people, myself included, might be interested in buying "a collection of ..." versus an entire collection. Would also be WAY easier than selling pins individually. I am happy to look at pins and would make reasonable offers. I also know a couple collectors who might buy larger lots. Feel free to PM me ...

I am am sorry to hear that you are leaving pin trading. Always sad to see someone go.

I was looking through your pinpics (your pinpics ID is Mmmm-pins?) and you actually have two of my grails as well as a few other pins I am interested in. I would definitely be interested in purchasing them from you as you begin to sell off your collection.

I tried sending you a PM but your inbox is full. Please PM me if you are interested.

I'm sorry that you're going.
I'd love to see what you're selling though!

Best to sell individual or in character lots. No many will pay for a entire collection because many collectors might have some of those pins and buying duplicates is not ideal. Selling as a lot will ultimstely sell pins cheaper. I think someone on Facebook sold them for a couple dollars a pin in one big lot. I know it may take time to sell but better for you. You should start here to let others see what you have. There are many collectors here.
