I really don't have much time to play Redemption anymore and my cards are just taking up space. I'm interested in selling off most/all of my collection. What is the best way to do it?

List the high-end cards that will sell individually.

I can store them in my garage next to mine. :)
You never know when you might want to get back in the game. ;)

Gabe's thread last night (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=19156.msg299884#msg299884) has resulted in a pretty good response (in regards to the number of replies on a weekday morning, at least), so that might be good to emulate. I'm sure you've seen the Prof's guide to selling cards at some point, which would be helpful in pricing if you need some guidelines.
Lawfuldog seemed to have success selling $25 bundles of a few high-end cards here (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=18526.0).

Here are some general suggestions for success at selling a large number of cards.
1. Pull out all the Ultrarare and Promo cards that you have. Almost all of these have a gold border around them.
2. Check out what those cards are worth by going here www.threelionsgaming.com (http://www.threelionsgaming.com).
3. Decide whether you want to sell all the cards as individuals (so individual players will buy them) or in bulk.
a. Individuals: set the price far below what you see at the above site if you want to sell quickly.
1. If a card is worth more than $10, then sell it for 75% of value
2. If a card is worth between $5 and $10, then sell it for 50% of value
3. If a card is worth less than $5, then sell it for $1
b. Bulk: It depends on whether you want your collection to be bought by resellers or playgroup leaders.
1. Resellers: set the price at around half of what the total value of the Ultrarare/Promos are and wait for offers.
2. Playgroup leaders: split the collection into groups of 500 card sets. Split the Ultrarare/Promos into equal
groups so that each set gets an equal amount. Then post the options on the forum and wait for offers.

Shoutout! 8)
But anyways. Bigger Ben, I'd suggest doing bundles of some sort with a mixture of different types of cards. Maybe $20 bundles with a 10 card set of FoOF/RoA then maybe a middle-higher tier Promo/Ultra and a TexP card or two.

You are so not quitting or else I'd be forced to fly to the West to put you into proper perspective. Quit playing but teach! At least maintain a starter deck to teach anyone as your 'pay forward' punishment. >:( ;)

If you have a complete FooF set, I'd be interested :laugh:

I was able to sell 90% of my collection in one fell swoop by offering far below the pricelist value if I were to sell it card by card. If you just want to get rid of them I think that's a good option. The lot I sold was about 7,000 cards and I sold it for $300.

Roy, I'm not "quitting" yet. I'll keep enough cards for a deck or two and still try to come to some tournaments. I just feel like God wants me to be spending more time playing football right now and less on Redemption.

You may also want to consider breaking the cards out by brigade and selling the entire brigade as a set. That is how I first purchased cards in bulk.
-
I'd suggest some sort of incentive program. I don't buy many cards, but I have always been more drawn to people who do things such as a free rare with every X dollars, or a free Guardian if you buy 50 dollars or more, etc.

A deck box takes up very little space. I would suggest at least keeping one deck so you can still have the option of playing personal games when you have the time.

Very well, then. I want to see a college football star come to his annual Nats in 2010. And you know the usual .....
Godbless!
