What do you think? Small lots on ebay? BST? Local dealer?

    I would say Ebay. I can list if you don’t have acct. I would set it up by stating the weight in description
    96 full ounces of xyz
    Or 5.00 face value xyz
    Due a bid usually gets better action then plain listing.

    Good luck

    Best place to buy !

    I would say that unless you can convince some potential buyers on Ebay that the lot has numismatic value thru a "sales pitch", and then considering your time listing and also the deduction of the Ebay and PayPal fees from the selling price...you are far better off just finding someone locally who will pay approximate spot value.

    I've been successful selling 40%/90% silver on BST.

    BST is nice because fees are avoided and shipping can be deferred.

    What're you selling anyway? Like a few rolls of coins or buckets? Changes things a lot.

    Whatever brings you the highest net amount once you figure ALL costs involved in selling. What is your time worth?

    I've had good luck both selling and buying on Craig's List but also have sold to local dealers and APMEX who took their cuts...depends on how quick you need the money.

    depends how soon you want money and how much you have.

    Best way to sell ? I think it the best time to buy.

    Practice makes perfect & nobody is perfect. So, practice being nobody.

    The easiest would be to walk it into the B&M who makes a market for 90%. Cash in hand with none the wiser.

    BST could probably bring you about the same amount.
