How to get rid of Large items?

[tampafan1]

Hey all,

I was wondering what the best way to sell large items was. Specifically, I have a Jim Brown and Jerry Rice Signed and Custom Framed Jerseys, each of which are framed with different patches, 8x10's. They are really heavy and probably measure about 36 x 48" in length. Wouldnt really feel comfortable having to ship them, since the glass might break and it would probably cost a fortune. Craigslist seems like a nightmare, and the newspaper is so 1950's. They are very nice custom pieces that I had framed up back when I was a kid and didnt have anything else to blow my money on LOL. Now I realize I have NO room for them, and I'm not even a Browns or 49ers fan. Probably spent about $500+ each on them and thats only b/c the frame shop was having a big sale. These things are sweet to have, just a pain to get rid of. Any ideas?!

Since you are in Florida, I would start calling up local memorabilia stores or guys who set up at card shows to get interest that way... or else you might have to resort to Craigslist.

You might want to check with your local card shops or framers- they might take the pictures in on consignment, hang them in their stores and if they sell, they get a piece of the profit.

Just realize that even with solid certifications, they will not bring in a ton of money right now. I'd be all over the Rice, but I'm in Kansas and I as well am not a fan of shipping glass across the country.
