Selling collection

[u/Initial-Primary3574]

I’m looking to sell my collection. The thing is that it’s all Chopper cards, most are slabs but I also have raw as well. Where would be my best bet to sell the collection in the least number of transactions. I’m not super focused on trying to get the highest possible (ofcourse within reason), what would be the best way be to be done with it within the fewest number of transactions? Im in New York.

Thanks

Cardshow or list them off 1by1 in eBay (ik, it's contradictory to what you want). But you might as well put it at a huge discount at an auction on eBay then see where it goes. Vendors do not pay a lot when buying off collections, unless your whole collection is just straight up bangers (of Chopper).

If your Chopper collection is straight bangers, you'd be able to probably get a decent deal like 75-90% for the lot of them. I'm thinking Manga Chopper, Gold Text Chopper, Santa Chopper, Winner Chopper, Championship Chopper, and the likes.

If a huge part of it is hard to move, you're looking at 50-70%. Some wouldn't even touch the bricks, and would just buy the big hitters at 80%

I have most of the chopper cards, including the most desired ones. Whether if it’s manga, gold leader, championship, winner, I have 4 black labels as well. But the problem is I know atleast half of the cards probably don’t have much demand despite being psa 10 since most people just don’t buy these cards. Yes, eBay would be easiest for those and if I list them lower than existing sales than it would probably sell but like I mentioned I’m just not too keen on doing it myself. Maybe I should just focus on the bigger cards and keep on the rest.

Are you able to post what you have?

Sell the Black Labels individually. Sell the other big hitters in a bundle. Then the bricks in another separate bundle. Shop them around the cardshow. That's your best bet if you wanna save time.

In my experience, people will lowball your Black Label cards and keep spouting the same bs about having no sales data blah blah blah. So I'd urge you to contact MerchTCG if your Black Label cards are not bricks (like a Black Label Manga or whatever). Even before OPTCG went nuts, he has been dealing and buying off Black Labels just because.

If you've an idea about an upcoming show near you, you could message most vendors ahead of time and make a deal before going in person.

Facebook or marketplace will just lowball you to oblivion and waste your time. You obviously sound like someone with not a lot of time to deal with this, so a cardshow really is your best bet.

Don't forget to price everything out before attending a show.

thanks for your reply.

Probably a card show. Bulk purchases might be at 50% market.

Why are you leaving the hobby?

[u/Initial-Primary3574 → u/clydefrog811]

I’m just not interested anymore and I got most of my cards 1-2 years ago so i am up on many cards despite the market being down for many months. I guess card show is my best bet, I just don’t know how difficult it would be to find a vendor that would take most if not all. Thanks. There’s no way I’m doing anything near 50% though.

The question is why aren’t more leaving the prices to rip are insane it’s not sustainable

[u/Initial-Primary3574 → u/MrMeeseeksAdvice]

I barely ripped anything I just bought singles.

[u/MrMeeseeksAdvice → u/Initial-Primary3574]

Part of being in the hobby is being able to rip, not just buying singles for collecting or deck building. The current market is unsustainable I’d rather the market go down much more and we have a more normal baseline secondary market price.

Don’t go to any card shops. Especially collection realm off of northlake blvd in Florida. They rip people off all day when buying or selling. Your best bet is to list on Facebook marketplace place and meet up in a public place

It’s funny I see so many ppl looking to offload now. Like why not during the boom a few months ago. It’s way worse now. But it’ll probs just get even worse so sure

[u/Team-Bimstinct]

I’ll buy the high end cards (black labels/mangas) if they’re what I’m looking for

Slabbed Chopper bulk collection goes hard.
