Postcard Collection

[japhil6253]

I'm looking for someone who would be interested in buying my postcard collection.

You will need to either list the collection on eBay or find a buyer through other means, you can't use the community boards to sell your collection.

You will either need to sell it on Ebay as one lot or try selling it locally.  Honestly, most postcards have very little value unless you have some older rare cards or especially RPPC cards.  I have ended up donating most of my postcards to a local postcard/ephemera collecting group which then sells to their members for a small donation to the collector group.

This is not the place to try and sell stuff.  It is against the Community Rules.

@japhil6253 ,

You are already selling on Ebay. Why don't you just list them? Get yourself a good used flatbed scanner for less than $100.00 you will make a lot more money selling them off one by one than selling as a lot.

I believe post cards are eligible for eBay's ESE service with tracking for less than $1.00 shipping.

If there are any antique malls in your area, contact them and tell them you have a postcard collection for sale and ask them if any of their dealers might be interested in buying them.  Tell them you only want to sell it as a lot, not the cards individually.  You might also try advertising them on FB Marketplace.

For the amount of time involved and the profits; the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

@toysaver ,

There are plenty of post cards that sell on eBay for more than $100.00 each. Some even in the 1,000's. Doesn't take too many oranges like that to get some nice juice.

Thank you 🙏 for your information you placed on the Postcard thread of last week where you said RPPC was possibly the most interesting.

 I finally got around locating my old vintage postcards and only have 19 of those + I’d guess none too interesting.

When you’re an antique dealer as long as me and spent decades poking around New York high and low everywhere buying stuff it’s not terribly manageable here! 
I didn’t realize that I could get so old as I am now and unfortunately not as strong 💪 as I was before.  Pix of me last year on my 80th birthday 🎂

I realize how much work it will take to possibly make one $10.00 sale of a postcard.  
I can’t imagine what I was thinking buying all my household items of everything here!

Now what?

Imagine 10,000 books on bookshelves floor to ceiling too…
