As much as it pains me to do it, I am seriously considering selling off my silver strike collection and would like some advice on the best possible way to go about it. My collection consists of aproximately 160 different $10 strikes, all from Vegas and Reno/Tahoe area. More than 100 are currrently in Dansco albums. The rest have not yet made it to that point and are still in thir original capsules. My question is this. Taking into consideration all the factors (scanning time, fees, shipping times and costs, etc), would I be better off in the long run listing the collection on ebay as one bulk lot, in lots grouped by hotel, in lots grouped in the albums they are currently in, of just individually? Would I have more luck and a better shot at a fairer price offering it here on the boards? Am I allowed to offer it here on the boards? Good idea to sell now before the holidays or wait til after? If after, how long after is a good idea? Basically, I'm asking for any advice to make the sale go smoothly with as few headaches as possible. Thanks for your consideration.

PS I will be going through and making a full list of the strikes in the collection and posting them here on the boards on Friday. Big family over day, today, you know :)
