Getting back into selling - LF suggestions

stlouiscards · 04-06-2021, 10:14 AM

So... its been a few years on here since I've posted or sold....

from around 2010-15 I was a HUGE case breaker who would sell the hits and shelve the rest for later.

Well... later has come.

Its time to get rid of the the stuff that's been sitting in boxes. I've already spent 2 weeks going thru everything and pulled out all the top names, rookies, etc.

My questions are below... since its been a while since I've sold, I'm looking for suggestions.

1. Is it easier to just list everything in large lots (like 30-50 cards) on eBay with BINs?

2. I have no interest in grading with the delays that it seems they have, plus that's never been my things to stare at a card under a microscope looking for the slightest imperfections... but with everyone wanting everything graded has there been an uptick on complaints from people buying raw and looking for BGS 10?

3. Since eBay is no longer doing everything thru paypal is there always going to be a delay in payments? Also, it seems that I have to pay for shipping even before I actually get the money from eBay... is there a way to get around that?

4. I've mostly listed single basketball rookies as that's what I have the least of with all positive feedback and I would assume that Bball collectors are the ones who grade the most... unless that's changed.

I am not looking to sell anything on here at the moment and I'm not trying to hype up my cards as they'll sell for what they sell for... in my opinion its all extra funds for cards that have been sitting in boxes for several years.

thanks for any and all suggestions.
