98 grams of sterling

[BosnMate]

Today I found what I think is a sleeper. Each little silver thing weighs 2 grams on my inexpensive scale, and one was missing, so I have 98 grams of sterling silver that I paid $25 for. Each silver piece has a tiny little airplane on both sides, so small I can't see them without a magnifying glass, and frankly that seems kind of dumb to me, but what do I know. My question is, would I be better off selling on ebay, or just taking melt value and not mess with ebay fees etc. At todays prices, I should just about double my money for melt, but could wipe out my profit with ebay fees. Actually I haven't sold a thing on ebay for years, so don't really know what the fees would be.

If you sell on Ebay, that would be your best chance of getting a higher price from several different types of collectors.

If not, I'd contact the local Radio Control flying club because of the flying theme and because that hobby is a bit expensive, they would have the money and members to buy and divide the set among themselves by favorite plane the like, built, or fly...

Take a look at e-bay in completed listings!
There was a set of 47 that sold for a chunk of change, a best
offer was accepted with an asking price of $120. They are listed
as silver airplane stamps. Really cool item that I would have a hard
time parting with.

Nice score for 35 bucks..

Nice set too bad it's missing one. Believe it or not those will more than likely command a good premium on ebay. I would start the listing out at no less than 4 times what you paid for it ($100). Even if you haven't sold on ebay for a long time. I found 2 single ones that sold for $5.55 each w/free shipping. I found a complete set with 2 watchers for $150 in Canada.

Yea I think the boys are right on this one, ebay that puppy

That will sell for a much higher premium than for what its worth in melt, i would do a straight up buy it now auction on this one..
