Great replies -- thanks, friends. Going to try to move the $5+ cards on eBay (below their top value) and move the rest as as a collection for $150 to start on OfferUp or CL.
One last question: When I sell the remaining non $5+ cards, should I specify what the rare's & mythics are, or just the quantity. By that token, should I specify #1 of cards by set as I have here, or just say "X Standard Cards"?
This is really helpful, thank you KnickM. So to clarify, you're saying except for the first page of that list (which I should price, all the other pages + everything I'm offering I should only price at $150? Ouch.
I know this is a common thread, but I'm hoping that my work cataloging what I have can lead to some specific feed back on how to best sell my collection. My goal is to move this stuff rather quickly, but I'm not in a complete rush and willing to put in some effort so that I'm not losing extreme value (at least for now). I'm also curious if it's best to try to sell it all off in a lot, split up meticulously, or group in specific ways for value/ease of sale. I know enough to know I have options, but not what those options are. Also, for what it's worth, I'm in NYC if that changes my options.
Collection Notes:
- Priced & Itemized catalog Includes Mythics, Rares, Uncommon Lands, & All Foils. Rest overviewed below.
- Priced & Itemized cards, current as of 10/3/16 @ MTGPrice.com, valued at: $698
- Collection is 99% Standard as of 10/3/16
- Kaladesh + Eldrish Moon cards literally never played (so NM/M), all other sets either never or lightly played at most and ONLY in sleeves, and therefore still likely all NM/M.
- For SOI contains full Uncommons + Commons playset with extras beyond that.
- All Rares, Mythics, Foils, and Uncommon Lands are in sleeves
- All cards are neatly arranged in cardboard boxes, included with purchase, where they have always been stored
