Have been away for a while for health reasons. Always told my wife when it came time to sell could bring it to the Stamp Gallery in walnut creek. So decided today was the day to call and it looks like they are no longer in business. Can anyone confirm this; was there a lot when Spence was there. Have been collecting for 60 years and have a room full. Are there any other stores in the area? I've bought on ebay but never sold. I know several of you do, so any advice to give? I have had many years of enjoyable collecting, but no one in the family is interested. Tried to give some to the boy scouts, at first said yes, then no. Anyway, not dead yet so will keep enjoying.
Best to all,
pat

A&D are closed. I heard Treasure Island recently closed. The United States Stamp Co move to (Emeryville?) and Ron probably doesn't have a brick and mortar store. Stanley Pillar passed a few years ago. I'm running out of store ideas. You could try Schuyler Rumsey Auctions in SF.

Thanks "eye on wall", (just) started looking at auctions online like "StampAuctionNetwork" even if I get to consign, problem will be shipping. Example Australia -5 banker boxes, Germany -4 banker boxes, Canada -3 banker boxes, GB 3 boxes, on down the line... Anyway, just started looking.

Pat ---- There are two factors , the first is what is your time frame . The second is what are you selling .

These are questions you need to explain further before anybody can help you and point you how to move forward .

Your going to get answers from "I can put cash on your kitchen table" to" it will take you a few years to sell it all on ebay"
Then you will receive offers of "25% to 50% of what I can get on ebay " to "the stamp auction firm will sell it and take 30% and what doesn't sell is return to you and it will take 6 to8 months to get a check ."
