Need advice. Selling a large collection of rare glass, don’t know where to start…
I started collecting heady pieces back in the early 2000’s just because I loved glass art. I was involved with an extract company about 15+ years back, and we had so much excess wax I was trading glass or whatever for it. I amassed a large collection over that time, and realized that trading extract directly to the artists got me a much better selection from the rare pieces.
Here are some of the noteworthy epic pieces I gathered during this time:
- “The Artifact” (Ryan Fitt x Kaj Beck collab, fully functional dab rig)
- “The Do-Do Bird” (Burtoni x Cameron Burns functional dab rig
- Hefe Glass 2015, Dual funtional rigs. (There were 2 that came from this set)
- Chaka Glass x Glass Munky Collab (functional rig, glass etched signed by both artists)
- Saki Bomb Hacky sack (Functional rig with a signed case & bag)
- “The Stoney Poney” (Corrine Winters, 1 out of 5, this is the blue one)
And many more…
Here I am now, with a wife and 2 kids, life has happened. Unfortunately, after many years of clutching my collection, I must part ways.
Here is my question to this community: Now I am out of touch with buyers for this type of glass. I don’t know many collectors anymore. So I am looking to use an online site like GlassPass or even EBay. I am skeptical of everything and trust nothing.
Which platform or path would you suggest to list this collection?
How do you suggest I go about this to get the most money back here?
Any advice on this is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.
