A question about : Where do I sell my collection of Salt Pigs?

Am needing to de-clutter quickly, much has gone to Charity Shops and lots to local Freecycle groups. However, I have a collection of about 160 Salt pigs of all shapes and sizes collected over last ten years.With the number of them being so high it would become a full time job, and totally impractical to offer them on e-bay or similar.

Anyone have knowledge of sites /auctions where whole collections can be disposed of?? Local auction houses had no interest or advised stupid reserve prices...

Best answers:

  • You could try a bootfair, sell them as Strawberry Planters, .
  • The problem is the only people who will want to buy 160 at once will be dealers wanting to make their own profit - and do you really want to pack and post? I would have said auction for whatever they will fetch, car boot sale individually or gumtree in lots of say 20 for other carbooters.
  • Thanks all comments.....dealers I have approached interested in an odd old or decorative one but not whole shebang.....obviously.....the purchase price of the whole probably exceeds Ј750 and an estimate from an auction house of Ј70 less expenses led me to starting this thread!
    I may just have to find somewhere such as Antique Fairs to offload some, at further expense, otherwise it is round to Morrisons for more banana boxes.

  • That may be likely result...have managed to hide them for time being so will resurrect potential sales avenues after August 1st when they will be exposed to human gaze again...
    Thanks everyone.
