Seniors today have a lot of options for selling the objects collected over the years. Seniors often sell duplicate objects in the collection as a way to down size and better manage space.
Technology affords sellers access to a global population of potential collectors. The local value of a rare object will be different than the global value.
Consider listing an object on an internet selling site as a way to generate interest in the collecting community. Remember a viewer of your listing may not buy immediately but tell a collector friend about the available object.
Practise good presentation with an adequate description of the object. Add to your description as you find new information.
Track on line sales of similar objects to get a sense of price, and varied explanations of the same object.
Offer an option to the take it all or leave it idea of selling a large collection. Allow the purchase of individual objects at an agreed upon value.
Take pictures of the object to visually communicate the detail to a potential buyer.
Selling household valuables today can involve more options to a patient and thoughtful collector.
