   I have inherited a stamp collection from my mother who died in 2002 and am   
   trying to dispose of it. Recently I have been listing some of the stamps on   
   eBay but find that its quite a bit of work to accurately list each lot. Also   
   the sales rate is not that high. I'm not too concerned about the amount of   
   work but wondered whether my approach is right. I try and list lots with a   
   SG value of £3 or so at a £0.99 auction price with no reserve (i.e. about a   
   third of list value as per SG's online catalogue). Each lot is scanned and   
   can comprise between 1 and 40 stamps. I charge 60p for first class p&p   
   within the UK in board backed envelopes for safety. I started from A and   
   have just got to D ... Denmark and list the items on ebay.co.uk but   
   available worldwide.   
      
   Any advice out there from the eBay experts? Would I be better off just   
   taking them to a dealer (but then how do I know I'm getting fair value)? Are   
   there other low cost sales outlets which I could try? I'd appreciate any   
   thoughts for a non-expert such as myself. Thanks. David
