Hey all
I have a piece of hockey memorabilia that I want to sell. Obviously I want to get top dollar for it. I don't want someone to tell me it's only worth $50, then turn around and sell it on eBay for $500! I've heard that there are reputable dealers online but am having a hard time finding them! I'd much rather sell it myself and ask a reserve price. But no point doing so unless I know what it's actually worth.
So if anyone out there collects sports memorabilia themselves, or knows either a serious reputable dealer who can give me a fair assessment? And I will not send the piece in question to anyone for appraisal - if it has to be seen in person by a potential buyer, I'll be there with it. |

You could look here and you might get a good lead or even some information as to the value of what it is you wish to sell.

| Thanks Ray, as the item in question has direct ties to Jacques Martin it might prove useful. |

| How about checking on EBAY and see if you can find similar items. Worth a try... |

You can filter and search "ended auctions" on eBay to get a closer grasp of how things are selling, and what ads bring in the better prices.

Have considered checking ended auctions for the results, but don't know how to rate what I have against the ones currently up. For starters, most memorabilia is signed by players.
What I have dates back to the Salt Lake Winter Olympics and is signed by 5 members of the coaching /executive team, not players themselves....though obviously they all once played hockey themselves. |

| Check with local sports memorabilia shops and see what they would offer you for it. Average them out and triple that amount. That should put you in the right ballpark. |

| Around here are a couple of places which handle estate auctions and the like, and they both offer a free "appraisal clinic" one morning each week, when you can bring in a few items for a free estimate of their potential auction value. |
