I've sold many in the past but the market has really dried up. It is a very time-consuming process and in the end you probably actually lose money. First, you have to photograph the entire roll if you want your potential buyer to see the contents and quality. The rollsign is generally photographed in short segments for best results. This is a long, time-consuming process depending on the length of the roll. You need a place to horizontally place the roll for best results, and must use a good camera. If you do not have sharp and clear pictures of the entire roll, your chances of selling it may be greatly reduced. Then, you must post each picture individually in the order of the rollsign. After placing it on eBay, you hope for the best. If it is sold, one must find circular tubing to mail it - long tubes are not easy to find. Then you have to take it to the post office or other shipper, hope it arrives safely, and pray the customer likes it, or it can be returned, Not a job for an amateur....I had one gentleman who wanted me to sell his rollsigns but his requests were ridiculous. In addition to placing them on eBay, he wanted DVDs made of the; another one who requested my assistance not only wanted DVDs but HO and O scale printouts, but didn't want to pay for them! Yea, sure.... |
