I think you'll get the best sales visibility by either posting them here with photos of each item or eBay. It might be more work to do this but I think it'll do better than a category off your existing web store.

You were pretty successful with the LBs you did last time (aside from that one asshat bidder who thought they were Nightmares) right? Why not do it that way again? Was it too time consuming to do individual pictures/auctions?

To be honest, a post here is probably best as previously suggested. I suspect that 80% of the old stuff that gets sold on eBay is bought by people here anyway, and the rest is bought by randoms or PBN Kiddies who think it's agg to have an old marker they never use. Depending on what all is coming in, you can probably sell out pretty quickly.

If you have a bunch of beaters all of the same type, maybe another Restoration Build-Off type contest could happen over in the custom projects forums, it's been a while since there's been one of those?

I would just make a post like others have said. The bad part of an ebay store is that there is cost/overhead involved with the ebay fees. Either that takes out of your profit or is passed on to the buyer. I'd start a thread, and anything that isn't moving maybe throw on ebay to get a little more attention.

Heck, I'll take a whole pile more of rusty 007's... I'm deadly serious I'd be interested in another dozen or so if the price is right.

I'd personally just do a thread here to begin with, and then say after a month or so, move it to your ebay store.

I'm willing to bet with tax refund season upon us, you'll sell the markers very quickely here on MCB.

Start a sale thread and whatever doesn't sell here, take to ebay. As it was already pointed out, you have a large source of potential buyers right here.

FIRST THINGS FIRST!!!!

You need to be a member, and then list them in the members section first.

I just came back from visiting these - there are a lot - 15 milk crates sitting on a pallet - all in various stages of neglect - some better than others but nothing that can't be fixed with some elbow grease. Nelspots of various configurations, piranhas, some p-68ATs, who only knows what else. It's a very nice find and there are some excellent candidates for Palmers.

Start drooling....

And, if you're not a member, I'm sure that we could chip in and collectively pay for it, provided that you list them in the Members section 1st!

Guys,
After reading through the feedback here, and sizing up the 15 odd milkcrates of markers(and a couple brand new woodstalker masks) I think I have a plan of attack. I am going to go through all the markers and sort them by condition and price them accordingly. I will put up each batch with a picture with each marker numbered, and on check out you can select whatever one from the batch you want. Should make things nice and simple through checkout, allow you to pick out your specific marker and most importantly let me keep some sanity through it all

Ill get on it tomorrow, what *does* it cost to become a member?
