Time to sell some pins
I was a total Type-A pin-buying freak a couple of years ago. I was just determined to complete some sets I loved. And so now I have multiple complete sets on a few things! My question is, if I want to sell them on eBay, is it better to sell them as a complete set, or individually one at a time?
Thanks...

Re: Time to sell some pins
If you have multiples of a given set, sell one as a complete set and the others as individual pins. That way you cover all your bases. When I had collectibles in my shop years ago, I always made a point of doing this and it worked out very well.
If you only have one set to spare of a given collection, then it depends on how popular it is. If it's a high-demand collection, sell each pin individually. If not, sell the set complete.

 Selling lower-demand sets in their entirety allows buyers to pick up "starter sets" for new collectors (themselves or others) without making big investments, while selling high-demand items individually allows you to get better prices for items with a stronger market. Also, it allows buyers who need to complete their existing sets a chance to pick up only the items they need.
