It is still the best place for certain types of items, though -- collectibles, in particular. Commodities, not so much.

Got in here late. I would do eBay. Get a scale, sign up for an account at USPS. You can order free boxes or get them at the post office. I have done eBay since 1997 when I sold for my first item , a fransican rose thimble for $150. I paid $2 for it. I have sold Hummel’s for my aunt for up to $250. Yes, it does take some work, but you will get your best prices there’s

With the usps account you can calculate postage,(at a discount), then you can print out a shipping label.

You can ask at any one of the consignment shops near The Villages. Usually you will receive 60% of the sale price with shop getting 40% but in some places they have raised to 50/50. Google consignment shops near The Village zip code. Several in Ocala, Almost Perfect on north 441 and Bargains & Treasures on 466 just east of 301. Good luck since they have lost quite a bit of their value. I collect Lladro from Spain and now you can get them on e-bay for about 75% off the retail price.
