Gibbons Classic Albums- Best Way To Sell?

I own two multi album sets of Gibbons albums, the George VI set and the New Age. Both are the reprinted editions in the good bindings with multi rings. I think the George VI has the pages for the Indian States, I'd need to check.

I have used these for my general British collection the past few years. I just need some shelf space and I have gone a far as I can IMO to filling these. My plan is to move those stamps into my multi volume International set then to find buyers for these.

I'd welcome any ideas, ebay seem obvious but these albums currently list in the hundreds apiece an I just don't now if I want to risk them going for a pittance. Shipping outside the US is probably not practical. I could put them out on here when ready (not awhile yet).There'd be just a few stamps in them. Ideas anyone?

Second hand albums will generally go for a small fraction of the original purchase price. If you are going to use the ebay route, you'll need to let potential buyers know they are from a smoke free home, show that they are clean and free of foxing etc.

A lot of collectors will avoid second hand albums/hagners etc. (me included) because there's just no way of really knowing under what conditions they have been stored.

I'd think again before you sell. You're getting rid of the best albums for a BC collection, and reverting to something far inferior. I'm not sure which editions you have, but you're probably looking at around £100 apiece, here at least. Is it worth it?

Go ahead and try ebay, but set the opening bid price at a level that you can live with. If they sell, great, if they don't, you're no worse off than you are now.

Geoff, you may have a good point. For me, the presentation means a lot and the Gibbons albums have that in spades. Maybe I will hold back and rethink. Maybe even instead sell off the Internationals. I could sell those far easier here in the States than a couple of Luxury British albums.

Stamps - as you know, many of us chop and change approaches, and end by spending too much on albums and pages. I moved away from the QEII New Age (I have a couple of sets in the springback binders) because they didn't fit with the way in which I wanted to organise my collection. They have, for many years, had an arbitrary cut-off date of 1962 (earlier editions continued through the 1960s). I preferred to end with independence or, in other cases, run to an end-date I decided myself. So I don't have, say, India and Ireland in my QEII collection. For other countries, eg New Zealand and Australia, the introduction of decimal currency was my limit. But I had no kick against the quality of the albums themselves - and the newer editions are amenable to the use of mounts in a way that earlier versions weren't. As I think you also use an Imperial, it seems a shame to break up the run!
