Looking for local person in Pinellas county to sell my antique collectibles

You should advertise locally.  On FB or CL.  Unless you are willing to take responsibility for taxes, seller fees, returns, shipping, supplies & possible fraudulent transactions, not to mention paying out a hefty fee to that seller (about 50%), I doubt you'll get any bites here on this forum.

Good luck to you!

Contact local auction houses, there are several in your area. They will do 99% of the work and you will pay them a reasonable commission. And it's all sold at one time.

Hi @german-77 Good luck in your Search. I hope you can find someone, but be prepared for little gain.

There is a strong likelihood that any seller who might consider splitting the proceeds will expect a high percentage of the profits. This is not like the days past on eBay where consignments could be accepted with less risk.

Like @ckimodog mentioned, the possible concerns are substantial. Sellers must account for income tax, possible problems in the transactions such as delayed shipping, transit damage, and/or scammers, and things like unexpected returns. eBay takes its cut of the sale and the seller can still be on the hook for refunds 6 months after the transaction (due to chargebacks or PayPal reimbursement should the buyer change their mind or has an issue with the sold item).
