Things You'll Need:
- Sports collectibles
- Camera
- Ebay account
-
Step 1
Select which item you want to sell. Don't start with one of your more valuable pieces. It's often best to sell a less valuable item first to make sure you understand all the intricacies that go into auctioning sports collectibles.
-
Step 2
Figure out how much the item is worth. The best price guides around can be found at Beckett's website. You can also visit a local sports collectibles shop and see if they will give you an estimate. It's always best to get multiple estimates so you can get a true idea of how much the item is worth.
-
Step 3
Take a few pictures of the item. Use a digital camera to take pictures of the item from all angles. If the item is small, one picture should be sufficient.
-
Step 4
Sign up for an eBay account. EBay is the world's largest online auction website. Follow the simple steps to register to open an account.
-
Step 5
Put the item up for auction. Set the reserve price in the auction to be around the estimated value of the item. Without setting the reserve price, the item could be sold for less than it is worth. Also be sure to include the pictures you have taken and an accurate description of the item.
-
Step 6
Ship the item to the winning bidder promptly. After being paid, your eBay account can be negatively affected if you aren't punctual with your correspondence and delivery.
