While I am considering simply getting nickled and dimed by Star City, who will only offer $3.00 per 1000 or the local guy that will offer even less ($500 for the whole lot , regardless or sorting, I really would prefer to ), I would prefer to sell to another dealer.

My collection is about 50-65% modern cards and the rest is older, Vintage legal sets, including box set // promo non-foil regular commons and uncommons (i.e. Duel decks, Beatdown Box, etc...).

Years ago, I primarily sold these collection on Ebay, with a great deal of success. However, a few years ago, a guy in Japan left fraudulent feedback claiming that I never shipped his Mox Pearl, Timetwister, and 4 Baneslayer Angels (Then worth $50ish in with M2010), despite my providing proof of shipping with arrival to his house and insurance. Ebay decided to permanently ban my account, despite my having great feedback, and has refused to let me appeal the claim, no matter how many times I have tried to discuss my case with them. Therefore, Ebay is out of the question.

However, with Ebay, I do not know if this will work, but I would like to get a P.O. Box under my business's name of Power-Up!! Games to see if I can get the cards sold. As Ebay is notorious for arbitrary banning, even if you try to open a store, I do not know if this will work, even with a P.O. box in a neighboring city and a business bank account.

Realistically, the largest part of selling this collection is shipping expenses, which will run about $20.00 per 4000 cards in a USPS priority mail large flat-rate box, to prevent larger amounts of cards from getting bent. I have access to a truck and am willing to travel within 3 hours of the Blacksburg, VA area or 2 hours within the Beckley, WV area. The other local store in Princeton, WV does not have room currently, but this was my first idea to sell off my sorted collection.

At this point, who, what, or where would be the best bet to try to sell off my collection?

I would really prefer to sell to a MOTL member, as I have enjoyed and trusted MOTL for years, but the only person that responded so far was incredibly rude and tried to offer me even less than the SCG price, even if I drove the cards to their store.

For the most part, like about any store's wholesale commons // uncommons, the majority of my cards are not in the highest demand, as bulk, but everything is pretty accurately sorted by block and color and is in individually marked boxes.

I will plan to organize a sale list and have listed a single lot of about 12,000 cards on the Auction board, despite that board having almost no visitors or postings, but that sounds like great information. If anyone has tried this successfully in the past on MOTL, what can they recommend that I use to market these collections? I am planning to include around 50 wholesale rares per 1000 cards, but as I have not really sold wholesale in about 7-8 years, I am super rusty.
