Hello - I have a collection of lampwork paperweights for sale, mostly they are William Manson and there are some Alan Scott and also two Paul Ysarts - I don't really have any ideas how I could sell them and would be grateful for any help and advice offered - I live in France. Thank you.

Hi Lindsaymary
I would suggest you consider signing up to Ebay and placing adverts on there as although you pay a charge you keep the rest of the proceeds yourself. As you may be aware, there is an Ebay for every country so it would pay to make sure you put your adverts on more than one eg Ebay.co.uk and Ebay for England and America. There are several paperweight dealers you could try contacting if you would like to sell all your weights in one go.

With such famous and desirable names, I would think you would be best selling them one at a time.
They are the sorts of weights that will find their own price in an auction that reached the right collectors, so do follow the advice about ensuring you reach the American as well as the European market. Perhaps Australia too.
good luck. :)

Sue, you got it, but the wise women would have arrived early, so they could clean the barn, talk about an immaculate delivery.
As far as the collection, I'll give you ten pounds and a hand full of magic beans for it. : )

Hi LindseyMary,
You may wish to put a message here on the market place too.
