I think there's a website for that. This newfangled thing called eBay. You can even set the minimum bid to your asking price. And if they items are worth more than that, you'll make even more. ;-) -- -Brandon http://www.brandonstaggs.com/c64.html

I know a rough ballpark guaranteed ebay figure. I am not commiting these for sale per se, But as with most things, there is a price. (and Yes I know all about reserves on auctions, I am simply not interested in paying any ebay fees to "test the water")

Don't use a 'reserve auction', don't even use an auction. Set it up for 'Buy it now', with the 'make offer' option. Costs 35 cents, regardless of what the BIN price is, not bad for 'testing the waters'. Course you will have to pay fees based on the actual sale price if you do accept an offer. The only way are 'committed' to the sale is if someone grabs your BIN price, and as already stated, you can set that as high as you want. More like a garage sale than an auction. But you will still have to entertain questions about how rare or cool the items are........ yoyodyne
