Looking for Opinions on How to Price a PC to Sell

[eberleclone]

I am looking to get out of the hobby for some unfortunate personal reasons and I was wondering if anyone could provide some opinions on how to price out a PC of mine I am trying to sell. The player is Jay Bouwmeester and I have well over 150 different cards, including somewhat common and fairly shortprinted cards.

The link to the list is here:

I have tried to move it several times, but I can never seem to get any bites. I figure having a price point would help but I just don't really know the best way to go about it.

To show my appreciation for anyone's time I would be willing to send some free cards of your team of choice your way, if I can get help in setting a reasonable asking price or some ideas on how to move it!

Thanks!

Don't need any free cards for my adice (though, there's not going to be a lot of it).

You will get taken to cleaners if you sell it as a lot. There is no way to get back the money you've put in when selling with that kind of a volume.

Sell off the higher end / sp'd cards individually (be that auctions, fixed price listings, etc) and then try and move the rest out in lots.

Thanks for the reply,
My only issue is that I no longer have a seller's account on eBay. I would like to be able to list them individually but I also don't have the time with going to school and working full time. I don't expect that I would get a ton for them and I would rather just move them all at once.

Do you know of any other Bouwmeester collectors out there? Maybe shoot them a PM or email and see if they would be interested in the whole lot, or atleast some of the higher ends? As far as selling as a lot on here to someone random I think the only way you will do that is if you sell it for way below what its worth unless you find someone looking to start up a Bouwmeester collection, as a lot of times when I buy lots I buy them for the trade bait (unless I am lucky enough to come across a lot full of just PC cards) and beyond superstars ie Crosby, Ovechkin, Price, Toews etc single player lots are not usually good trade bait at least for the short term side of trading, just my .02 cents though, oh one more thought, maybe someone would sell your cards on ebay for you if you ship them to them and cover their fees?

Not a ton to add to what the folks above mentioned (they are smart people) - but here's some tips:
Check with your LCS and see if you can sell it on a commission through them, if not directly to them.
I don't know how popular J-Bo is in the Calgary area but you can also try Kijiji to see if there's any bites that way. You won't get a ton for it in either direction but it will pump up the cash reserves at least a bit and let you get rid of all of it in one fell swoop.
Might even be worth taking the $6 plunge on Beckett to get BV pricing for all the cards and then price the lot accordingly.
