Hi -
I've been on numista for awhile now, made some really good swaps, and generally have a pretty good time. I really like the coin catalogue and rely on that almost every day for sorting my collection. This is why I use numista in the first place...
I started swapping coins here on a lark. I had a few hundred coins listed in my personal collection and started getting requests for them. At first I ignored the requests (I didn't have anything listed for exhange, just my personal collection), but then I gave it a try... Today I have about a thousand coins in my swap list and get a lot of requests, but it can be hard to negotiate a fair swap, pick the coins from my collection, pack everything, mail everything, and wait for the coins or banknotes in return. You know the drill, we've all done this. So even though I enjoy swapping, I just can't do it anymore.
So my question: has anyone here ever just sold off all the coins in their swap list? What's the best way to do that? I can't list a thousand individual coins for sale here, certainly can't photograph each of them, etc etc. I also do not use ebay at all.
I want my coins to go to a good home, preferably to a serious collector here on numista...
Let me know what you think and what you would do.
Thanks!
