Selling Chelsea Programmes

[ossieandco]

Hey guys, I have a very large collection of Chelsea programmes from the 50/60s through to about 2006. I am very new to selling them and seem to be struggling to do so on eBay. I have my programmes listed here:

And many more will be on the way mark my words! However as I am currently struggling to sell them would anybody be able to suggest some price amendments that I should undergo in order to sell these. Many thanks.

Ah thanks mate, saw one that sold for a bit more, must’ve got a bit optimistic. This might be a really stupid question but why is it that they all seem to be worth not very much? Is there a certain era that’s worth a lot more or am I simply being naive about what programmes are worth?

Depends what you call "not worth very much" the Chelsea Yearbook @ £2 is selling at 10 times what it cost.

You asked for advice on selling, so here goes.

I doubt you will realise sales for the vast majority of the programmes listed because you have way too high a minimum bid on them, and they are not uncommon items. Your strategy seems to be to hold on to them for as long as possible?

If you want to sell them, try putting a 99 pence minimum bid on everything and see if anyone takes you up on it. It's the only way you might sell them.
