Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

I have been to numerous sites that claim they buy collections  however when I respond I never hear anything back.. I have a Chicago Bears collection of 7500 cards that I would like to sell to someone that will enjoy it for what it is.. however I realize that anymore it's all about the mighty $$ so in the end it doesn't matter.. any input on where to go.. 

  Thanks

7500 cards is in the realm of being shippable. There may well be some folks on here interested if you let them know what you have and how much you're asking. I would also try eBay or Facebook marketplace. There are also a number of card groups on Facebook you could join and try to sell them there. I'm part of "I Love and Collect Junk Era Sports Cards" but there are many others. Good luck with the sale!

I would echo lugnut's advice and add that if you are located within an easy drive of the Chicago area, you should have some interest on local sites such as Facebook Marketplace or Craig's List.  Yes you will get those who are looking to buy cheap and then sell at pandemic prices but if you are patient, you will most likely get a die-hard Bears fan who would make you a reasonable offer. Just don't get caught up in the pandemic price craze thinking you can get those top dollars especially if looking to move all at once.

Myself, if they were mine, I would rather see a true collector and fan get them than any "investor".

Are you located in Bears country? It would seem that if your goal is to have it go to someone who would appreciate it that area is going to have the most Bears fans. If the vast majority is commons and cards worth under a buck as usual the shipping cost starts to really hurt the selling of this bulk item. The suggestions above are probably the best options. Someone on here might be a reasonable distance from you. Facebook marketplace and Craigslist are good option for selling locally.

It's difficult to fo find buyers interested in cards for what they are. Certainly a lot of members here are but the vast majority of money in the hobby are more gamblers/investors who buy the hits or packs for the hits and have no interest in the rest because of space.

Seems like a good weekend to make the deal since the National is in Rosemont (Bears country) so you could exchange the cards there instead of having to ship them.
