Best Way To Sell A Large Collection

Do an internet search for "Emerald Ventures Auctions"
This is a smaller auction house that does a weekly stamp auction
Browse through their current/past listings and see if you have the same type of stuff that they typically sell
If you do, try consigning with them.

Okay I will check into that, thank you.

Currently I have seperated all my 1938 "Prexies" and have put all the loose ones together of each denom and then the ones that are currently hinged to start. Dont know if it'd be better off to put each individual count or just put it as just loose amount and hinged amount of each. Seems like the more I get done the worse it gets not knowing what to do lol..

For those wanting to see some of the ones I've gone through so far, here's the Washington ones. Then below is some various Prexies I've sorted through so far.






Still have so many Prexies but alot of photos to show them. Roughly have 152 unhinged and 200 hinged seperated this far.

If this is a batch of used stamps, it's less important if any had been hinged to put in an album, so I wouldn't bother making a distinction.

If you're trying to sell on ebay, may I suggest a title for the listing:
"Used Prexy Lot 350+ Single/Pair/Coil/Block Variety Cancellation Precancel"

Thank you for the advice and how to word it. Now that I'm getting them seperated into series and which ones I have/how many, it's a little better. I just don't know if I should add the album in when selling the rest or if I should just do it and ones in it already seperate. Was going to do seperate but person could use the loose ones to fill out the book alot more also so rethinking that idea

Typically when selling on ebay it's better to split things up because the more items there are in a listing, the fewer buyers there are who are interested in every single item. But I would say do whatever is the least work for you, and if it doesn't sell after a while, then end the listings and switch things up.

Albums can be heavy and drive up the shipping cost, so make sure to have the buyer pay shipping. (IMHO the most important thing when selling on ebay is not to lose money on shipping.) There are a lot of ebay listings that just include the album pages (with stamps on them) without the binder to save weight. Although if you have a very nice binder, that is sometimes more desirable than the stamps inside.

Looks like there's 175 stamps already in album, it's just a beginners book so not much weight to it honestly, especially compared to a binder so I don't think it'd be too spendy. Otherwise, this is about what I have otherwise.
Famous Americans Series-53
Liberty Series-266
Washington and Franklin's-55
Airmail postage-28
1923-25 Definitive Series-18
1938 Prexies-411
And then just a various range of misc others - 118

Thats what I'm looking at right now atleast to get rid of plus the book. So do you still think best option would be selling them seperate still?
I did however seem to have come across a 1908 1cent green Franklin printed on the bluish paper I'm pretty sure or hope atleast. Everything I've saw so far says it is but need to put more research into it first when I can.

I think you could group all that together. So your target buyer would be someone starting a US collection. As opposed to someone who just wants to fill out the prexy page in their album, for example.
ebay only gives you 80 characters for the title, so I suggest: US 1900s VTG 1000+ Stamps/Album Prexy Airmail Precancel Beginner Collection
Just try to think about what keywords buyers might be searching for, and put those in the title.

When the comment was made there were no pictures in the thread. There are pictures now which show that Partime's advice was absolutely correct and that the $20 valuation may have been kind. There is no way this is worth listing on ebay. Donate it.
