Any advice on selling a collection gratefully recieved!

[petershell]

Hi,
1. Make list of species (probably your father made some labels to each shell) if not ...
2. Make pictures (in good resolution) of shells -
you said over 400 shells ... so maby pictures of drawers ( you will have than sets of shells on photograph),
3. Ask for help someone able to estimate value - but collector not dealer :-)
- remeber that value can vary ( same specie - lots of possibilities depending on how big is shell, what condition, colour..etc)
4. With this knowledge you can focus on some more interesting items - and try to sell whole to 1 person able to buy or split it and sell sets or single shells (ebay or..up to you)

All the best
Peter
P.S.
With identyfication of shells I can help ..
