How do people decide whether to auction stuff or post it for sale?
The MISB Space Shuttles etc. I understand.
But I am gathering a collection of parts from various themes that
might be more desireable to others and might help me to fund another
purchase or two. But there is not much of any obvious grouping. (eg,
no 10 Scout troopers) And the stuff is probably not super valuable.
Clearly I could just lump everything together, but bundling and
tie-ins are not efficient for this type of thing for either buyer or
seller so I'd be guaranteeing a low return.
But would anyone be interested in buying or bidding on a couple of
this and a few of that?
Maybe I should just hold on to all the stuff a while longer til the
pile gets larger.
Does anyone have an idea of a minimum sale or auction size?
Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.
