Best Place to Sell

[dt1950]

Greetings!
I've been collecting for over 50 years and its time now to divest myself of some of the things I have collected, e.g. cartridge belts, packs, first aid, canteens, etc. Where is the best place to sell these items at a reasonable price for both parties involved. I have used Ebay but you get hit for 15% there and the purchaser has to pay sales tax. Any input would be greatly appreciated. What I am trying to move right now is US WWI and WWII items.
Best regards, H.T. Rea, Katy, Texas

Besides here…. Is the site where you have your 43 Remington Rand not an option? They have a category that should meet your needs. GB does as well.

Some people like facebook trader as they don't charge a fee. Like eBay, you have to be careful not to infringe their rules on what you are not allowed to sell.

If you want to slowly divest yourself of your collection I'd start renting tables at gun shows which are a great place to buy and sell militaria. In Houston you've got one next weekend and one in Pasadena in September.

Probably the best venue is to set up a booth at the next Museum of the American G.I. annual military show at College Station.

Living History Weekend - Museum of The American G.I.

The next biggest event is the Camp Mabry Living History Weekend in Austin. They used to allow vendors, but I haven't been there for a spell so check first.

Lastly, try some of the auction houses in your area which can be found on Texas HiBid:

I wouldn't totally dismiss eBay as I think it's ok for certain things.
