Clearing out my collection

[+triplewisdom]

Hi everyone,

 

I have quite an extensive collection, most coins from 2007 and 2008 that I am looking to sell. What is the best way to do this...to be honest, I don't remember the names of many of them. Any advice would be appreciated.

That is really tough. Names is usually best. Since you do not have the names you could either take their pictures gradually (by taking a picture of each page which includes 10 coins or whatever number) or I guess you could sell them grab bag style, but that would not be as fun. You could also sell them by request format where cachers email you about a coin they want and you check, but that would take a HUGE commitment on your part, so that might not work either.

I don't know any Geocoins by name, so I've never participated when people offer a huge list. Can you post photos? I'd buy one or two that I think look cool. Or in the case of a coin I'd release, I'd select the least appealing one.

 

If you offered a "grab bag" of, say, three un-sorted coins at a pop, I might buy that if it's not too expensive.

 

You could put the whole shebang on ebay.

I think photographing them a page at a time would be best. Folks on the forum would certainly help you name them too.

 

You can have a look at my Dutch collection page and see if you recognize any of them. I'll make an offer on any marked 'seeking'

If you go to the trackables page and enter the tracking number of the coin there it will tell you the name of the coin.

Agree, this way also you'll check if activated or not.

This is exactly what I always do. That way I have the "official" name for the coin. It's easier to Google and/or search cointracking.com that way. Some have other "common" names too, but the forum folks can help with that part.
