Need Advise on Selling a Large Lot of G1s, please!

[clones_rebellion]

I have over seventy G1 ponies I would like to sell off in one large lot. I just don't want to take the time to sell them off one by one. They vary in condition from excellent to fair. None of them are in mint condition, none of them are in bait condition. None of them are rare or hard to find. (There are a few doubles, but not many.) I am thinking about listing them here on the Arena as an auction. I need to know if there would be enough interest, first of all. And is there any way to ensure I get at least the price I have in mind?

Any suggestions?

There will always be interest in G1s!

However I understand the hassle of listing so many ponies all at once!

As much as its a pain to take pictures and write descriptions of 70 ponies; if you dont do it at the start you are going to end up doing it as you go and that takes way more time and effort.

However if you dont want to sell them individually, I would think it would work better for you to at least break the 70 total down into smaller lots, 10 or 12 per lot perhaps. The smaller the lot the more per pony price you may be able to get - this is worth while as typically people want to pay less per pony for lots than individually.

You could group them by condition perhaps? All the "poor" ponies, all the "fair" ponies, etc or simply by type of pony - whichever is easiest for you.

I would suggest at least a one liner per pony per lot on any glaring issues - marks, hair cuts, etc. Whether you are selling as one large lot or several smaller ones.

And if you are selling them on the Arena simply set your price and stick with it or run as an auction but set a reserve that you are happy with.

Good luck!

Thanks for the input Cat! I have taken group photos and I have a general description of each pony already, so I'm good there. I think I will just post them here on the Arena and name my price rather than run an auction.
