Only half of what I have as "doubles" is currently posted on TCDB in sale/ trade, but if I had a fair offer on everything then yes, I would let it go.  Would make my wife happy too!!

I would jump at the chance, kinda already did.  We are in the process of moving and down sizing our living quarters.  I brought all my cards that I don't collect to my local dealer (Up to 2017).  Everytime I swing into his showroom he has me go thru a handfull of cards to see if I'm interested in them.  I take what I want and leave the rest.  It frees up a lot of closet space and I get cards that I collect.  That being said, is there a easy way to delete those cards out of my collect? 

Thanks and trade on! 

I've been thinking along these lines the last couple weeks. None of my kids are into my collection, so the more I can sell off before they have to deal with it the better.

But ALL my traders? Possible, I could still use eBay and comc to complete what I need to. Then sell it all lol

I'm going to be listing my entire FS/Trade list (and then some) here shortly for sale locally. 

I have no plans to return to trading anytime soon and mine are all either doubles or cards from sets I have no desire to complete. 

I'm finding it much easier to buy completed sets and to buy individual cards I need. 

Over 400k traders and no interest in selling them in one lot.  I don't need the money to buy the cards I find at shows or online, and I enjoy trading on here, filling out others' want lists, especially all of those miniscule VAR that have taken over much of this site in the last few years, while getting back cards I don't have in my collection.

What happens to them when I am gone will not be my worry. My son will know what has value, especially my 1948 Bowman Musial RC NM, and what is not worth the paper they are printed on.

Isn't the more interesting question if someone offered you EVERY card you wanted for a mere pittance, would you accept?

I think if it's stuff you're looking to trade/sell, you'd have to consider it strongly.

I currently have items in my eBay Store I've listed for roughly $5,800 (most w/ free shipping). 

If someone offered me $2,000 delivered for the whole pile, I'd jump at it. $1,500? I'd strongly consider it.

Then I'd go spend $1,500 on cards I want, unopened boxes, sets, etc...and probably have more than enough dups and fodder to restock the store. 

Selling all my duplicates (aka traders) at once and the price is right, positively yes. There's a reason why they're called "traders", they're are surplus to me. It is not like selling a business and having a non-competition clause for 5 years.There's nothing that stop me to buy something else and to start over with new traders. If it is in my collection, that's another story.

Why I dislike Craigslist.    One out of five people who wanted them and set up times to look at them.   Only one showed up.    He purchased all of my basketball cards (over 1,400 cards) I had listed here and 3 football set.  I made an offer for the basketball cards and he accepted it.  He made an offer for the football sets and I accepted it.  He wants to come back and take a closer look at what I have left.

I told him about TCDB and he was very interested.  I think him and his dad would be a good fit for the site.

My biggest all-time purchase of cards came from craigslist. It had about 30 Kevin Durrant rookie cards. 1 Lebron James rookie. And a ton of in-person autos. I got a killer deal for $800 and had a ton of cards (`15,000),
