Best way of disposing of a small collection.

[Rapid rental]

Hello all, If you had a small collection of classics and wanted to sell the lot or just downsize, what are the thoughts of the best way in doing so these days?

Get/find a decent auctioneer around to look at the lot in one go, or sell them off piecemeal and all the hassle that entails, any pointers? Or any auctioneers that you can recommend from experience? Cheers.

What's your criteria? Speed/ease of disposal or maximum return? If the latter then flogging privately through adverts/ebay, if the former then no-reserve auctions.

No rush sales I guess and market value would be the preference, have you had any experiences selling at classic car auctions? I have used ebay in the past but its never my preferred option. Or I hear car and classics website is good, but I dont have any experience on there myself?

I have used car and classic five or six times over the past years, always found a buyer quickly at the right price.

Me too. Free adverts, and very few timewasters.
