Advice please! Re 3000 Photos

[Rednosty]

with my stroke of Luck :D in gaining 3000 odd Photos of Film and TV people I'm kinda wondering What the hell do I do with them As listing 3000 will take forever! :eek:

[brishada]

Are they all different people? Or an you put them into batches? Either by Person, Film, TV Programme groups? I’m sure some people would love to get their hands on a load of pics in one hit, saves trawling through lots and lots of listings. Especially with Christmas coming up, plenty of mums and dads looking for odds and ends for their kids?

Lots of different people and Sometimes a doz or so of the same film etc.

Intrestingly I asked on the other side to someone selling similar and they jumped in with a "how much for the lot".....:) which means They are worth Lots of dosh! :D

Press packs usually include details of the film and Loads of photos!
Also Have loads of FILM CELLS Which I haven't even looked at yet :)

LOL someone who shall remain Nameless Has done the same on EBid! :eek: :D

I think the idea of putting them together is batches by subject/genre is excellent. They'd be simple enough to pack, boxed. It would speed up your listing time, even if in comparatively small batches. I'd be inclined to go through doing a quick cull - good stuff, naff stuff, and put all the naff up as one big batch for people to take their own gamble you've got that wrong! Then go through the good stuff again, picking out anything topical - who's on telly now, who's film's been released etc, and start with those. And definitely something where you need to work out your packaging well in advance.

There are OLD stars there but the a Not originals but Copies of Originals (But proper Photos!) and YES I got James Bond!!

One of the problems with them all is Ok say I list 100 I ve got to then find them!

[photopheline34]

I would take the cells out.. and then put all the photo's in a live auction, specialised auction of collectables. Then sell the cells... :)

Soft toys?

[photopheline34]

I don't think those film packs are worth much on their own or in small groups. sorry.

But you have a lot of them. As someone else said, take it to an auction and get the collection valued. It may do really well at a collectors auction (not a general). You may get a nice surprise :)

The cells may be better?

In my experience, the older photo's of film stars sell well if there is a collection of them, but not really on their own. :)

After all that, you could just try selling one or a small group of them and see how it goes? But its time and energy.

By the way....is that you KNEE in the pic :eek:

[meebo1]

I am probably blind: didn't see soft toys, never thought of chrismas as I don't 'do' xmas. But that's probably the best place
And thank you all
