It is entirely Personal preference. I made this video for these exact moments:

Ultimately all options are fine. So it comes down to your preference and risk appetite.

Not sure the value of the things you are trying to sell, but I have personally made many sales simply on craiglist worth a few hundred, my highest being $1200. All the sales went super smooth and I made slightly more money than if I had sold on ebay. So you can always try to sell locally first and see how that works.

The strategy for selling an Illustrator differs from selling other “high end” cards. If you have a truly once in a lifetime item that will sell for $195k then doing extensive research into a selling method is a good idea. For the other 99% of pokemon cards, eBay or PWCC work great.

what’s that?

It’s meant as a joke reply, but it’s how you state a price on your Instagram post, and the first one to mention claim gets to buy it.

Although I would just Instagram Raffle it in that case (raffle = selling lottery tickets with two lucky winners: the one who wins the card, and the one organizing the raffle gaining 10x the amount they would get from the tickets compared to selling it through auction) :stuck_out_tongue: Then again, you’ll need a lot of people to raffle something like a 195k Pokémon Illustrator, haha. :laughing:

TL;DR: Don’t use Instagram/Facebook/Virbank/etc. to sell Trophy cards. :wink:

PWCC will work. Middle-maning it is good. For large transactions, use money wire. Once amount is confirmed in your bank, then complete the exchange.

PWCC is fine unless you like money…

Something I always consider is that eBay has a max fee of $350 with most store subscriptions. (Not including separate PayPal fee). If your selling a 50k card with pwcc your fees are something like $4,000.

But the chances of a fraudulent charge back and other things go down to 0% :blush:

That’s not much of a problem though. In 20 years using both PSA and Yahoo I’ve NEVER had a fraudulent chargeback.
