What should a NearMint set of 1961 Topps go for?

It has 190 graded cards with an average grade of 6.85 and the raw cards average nearmint with some being worse and some being better. I have it on ebay right now with an extremely low reserve considering the book value and SMR. Any thoughts on what it will bring in this soft market?

    It would sometimes bring more than you could beleive in an auction house vs. ebay. Collectors/investors on certain auction houses pay more than SMR. They say vintage cards hold there value better in a soft market. So, investors tend to buy vintage cards vs. stocks! Good luck on ebay though I have seen vintage cards depending on the rarity go for 15-20 times SMR on ebay.

    that is what I have the reserve at and I'm losing money at that.

    How would I go about getting it to an auction house?

    Just contact any one of them through their website. There are a number of very good auctioneers that will be glad to speak with you. If you need some direction, just let me know.

    try the BST forum, or just dredge up your previous thread on this topic. Didnt you just have this up for a BUY IT NOW for $10,000 last week?

    yeah, I had the buy it now or best offer at $9,999 for a set that is valued way above that. I saw that the market wouldn't support a price like that at this time so I lowered it.

    also, I had the other thread in the BST forum, but this one was just to get people's thoughts on what a fair price should be in the main forum. You are more than welcome to skip over my threads, or is that too much to ask?
