I have several Pirate sets that I am considering auctioning. There are 4 ships (6271, 2x6274, 6285) and 2x6276 Elderado Fortresses. Four are complete, one of the 6274 and 6276's have minor pieces missing (which I might complete before auction if I can, though there is a missing sail which is hard to find) Do you think I would maximise the price by either 1. auctioning as separate items 2. auctioning as a combined lot or does it make any difference? Would combining them be a good way to maximise the price of the sets with missing parts? This would be an instant way to start or increase a pirate collection if you could get the lot in one go, but you could do that if they were individual or combined. Any thoughts? regards lawrence

(...) These items are all substantial enough (even with missing parts) that I think you would get the best return by selling seperately. I suspect very few buyers would go for all of these sets in one big lot. (25 years ago, 3-May-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

Lawrence, I always find that the more auctions you have the better, especially for the buyer. I don't want to buy anything more than I have too, and if you separate the auctions, you give the buyer the opportunity to buy what they want. The market, (...)
