How to sell large chalkware collection

Hi! My fiancé and Myself inherited a rather large chalkware collection and would like some advice on selling it. The photo is only a few, dozens and dozens more stored away, maybe hundreds.
Thanks!

 

Welcome to our forum Doug!!

You may want search the sold listings on eBay for any pieces that are highly desireable. You could also search Etsy, but I do not think they give you the sold prices & sometimes sellers asking prices are very misleading.

This is just a quick search of chalkware in general on eBay.

You can put in refinements such as dogs, cats, pigs, etc.

You may find that most of the pieces hold little value, but you never know there may be a gem hiding among the commoners.

In the end if you have no interest in listing the pieces either individually or in lots on-line your only other options are a local auction house or donating to a local nonprofit thrift shop.

If you find something you are not real sure of please do not hesitate to come back & ask about the piece.

Good luck!!

 

One suggestion....list them on eBay starting at 99 cents ...and let the chips fall where they may.
Another....Show us lots of 5 at a time and we can pick out any that have a level of value wherein an auction house would consider taking them in.

Thanks- I’ll do thst

 

Thanks for the advice!

 

If these were my items, I would do my own research and due diligence and make sure there are no diamonds mixed in the lot, first and foremost. Anything that I felt was worthy of selling online I would. Everything else I would probably list it on Craigslist in lots, sell locally at a sale or flea, or have my own garage/yard sale.
