Thanks for the advice and values!
I know that you had a bad experience with an Auction House, but it mat still be worth considering for some high value items, and I did say 'a reputable Auction House'. For example, there are a number of Auction Houses that have specialist Auctions, Militaria, Toys etc. It doesn't really matter where they are, send them good pics of your items, they'll provide you with an estimate, and you can post to them. You can insist on a minimum selling price (but over here that price cannot be less than the lower estimate). So, for example, if I had three bayonettes and was not in a hurry to sell, I would wait for a specialist militaria auction to put them in. You won't have just one or two bidders, you will have a flock of them. Also, as has been mentioned more than once on this site, make sure the Auction goes out as Live Bidding on the Internet.
