New to selling McCoy and new to area. Can anyone give any advice on how to sell a couple of pieces from my collection? I've never sold (just bought, bought, bought!) and I'm not sure how to get "book value" for a couple of my harder-to-find pieces. I've tried auctions on Yahoo and E-bay and find that the bids never quite reach the "reserve price" of book value. Also, I'm new to Northern Colorado and not at all familiar with any McCoy dealers that might be interested. Does anyone know of any shops around Fort Collins, Colorado (I would also be willing to travel to Southeastern Wyoming) that purchase McCoy pieces?

New to selling McCoy and new to area. When you have tried selling your McCoy pieces how low did you start your bidding? I like to start bidding low like at 1.00 with a reserve of what they are worth. I find that works for me. Also you can call antique dealers and see if they would be interested in buying those pieces. One of the ways I like to do my research is going to www.dogpile.com and typing in what I am looking for. Also I like to go to the book stores and sit down with the books looking for what I am pricing. Good luck.

New to selling McCoy and new to area. Hello Jennifer, First let me say that for you to get book price for a couple of hard to find pieces would depend on just what pieces you are trying to get rid of...Have you noticed if you watch Martha Stewart that she collects McCoy...But she is particular...she only buys green, blue, and white...If your trying to get rid of the darker colors or the browns it will just not happen right now...Those colors are out...And everyone wants a bargain..Try this you are living in a state which gets alot of visitors.. Try putting those pieces in a shop and see if you get a bite.. Not in a big city...In one of those small places where people think they are going to get a bargain...Check around..there are some places out there which would do good for you...tell me something...describe the pieces you are trying to sell..to me.. and let me see what I think...take care...Linda L.

I was starting the bids at $ 50.00 and even had buy prices of slightly over book (to cover packing and other misc.) Than I put a starting bid of book price on the horse because I figured that I'm not selling it for less, so why mess around. Now I just don't know what to do!!! Both pieces are matte white, so I thought they'd be in demand.........Thanks for your help! This matte white lion planter is listed in Hanson's McCoy Pottery book as one of the "Top 100 Findables". It is in excellent condition -- no nicks or chips. There is a spot in lion's right underarm where the glaze never hit (tried to show this in picture). Very nice piece; from one side, the lion appears to be stalking...from other side he appears ready to pounce. Great addition to any McCoy collection. Buyer pays for shipping and insurance on price of item. Cashiers check or money order only and will ship when payment is received. Payment must be received within 10 days of end of auction. Thanks and good luck on this rare piece!! and..... Fairly hard to find matte white McCoy Stretch Horse. Excellent condition -- no chips. Slight bump UNDERNEATH glaze on horse's left side (see photo). Buyer pays for shipping and insurance on price of item. Cashiers check or money order only and will ship upon receipt of payment.

New to selling McCoy and new to area. Hi Jennifer, What kind of McCoy are you trying to sell? I collect Blossomtime and Happy Face. As far as selling online, the price varies depending on demand. I have found some things to sell above and below book price depending on popularity and timing. Best advise I can give if you are looking to get full book value is to use a reserve price in your auction.

My experience is that many people don't like to bid on reserve auctions and that sometimes it is hard to get book value. Other times you can be pleasantly surprised by what people will pay if they want it badly enough. I sold some Roseville for way under book value, and it took a second listing to sell it, since the first one had a reserve. I ended up selling for less than the opening bid I used the first time. I still made money, but i was disappointed.

Hello everyone: It appears that both buying and selling McCoy items amoung the serious collectors can be problematic through certain facilities. Age old problem.....but can be done. Biggest problem is the jumbled variety of items and different items that one collects. One person collects only jars, another only pink and blue....etc.....and of course the price you want to get or give for any item can present problems in coming together....i.e....willing seller and willing buyer. If I want $1800.00 for a Cauliflower Mammy, and the only offer I got was $800.00, I have a choice to make...sell or not to sell. I can have book value or higher, if someone is willing to pay that. I would like some feed back from buyer and seller in the serious collector area to determine what you feel is your idea of what a McCoy seller and buyer site should have....hence the site www.mccoypottery.com will setup a facility in the site to do exactly that and hopefully provide a place to buy and sell. Granted the classified section is not easy to use. We at mccoypottery.com are interested in providing a facility for you. Not that we feel other facilities are not appropriate, except that places like ebay are disorganized with far too many items that are not catagorized and many items that are not McCoy and hard to find just the type of McCoy you are interested in selling or buying. This is something that will be a free service...so we do not want to put the work into the new facility if it is not going to be used. Let me here from you. Cheers!

It's from the 40's...as is much of the McCoy I have. I don't know that it has a name, though. It's about 9-1/2 inches tall and has two handles...little pointy things one the top of the handles. When I went to the site to copy information, I just realized that I lied...I didn't bid $46...I'm supposed to pay $42.11, the $46 figure was my high bid. I've copied the eBay listing below because I don't know that my description is very clear about what vase it is. There are a few McCoy pieces that I've fallen in love with...and I've purchased them in different colors. I sure hope you don't think this is weird behavior...I just like them!

After reading your advice and re-looking at the original listing for this piece, it seems as if the seller indicated that he was charging only actual shipping charges. I did write back to his initial message asking if there might have been a "typo" since I'd originally paid much less for other shipments of this same vase. I haven't yet heard anything from him...but now have an idea of what to do when I do hear anything. I'm feeling somewhat protective of my "feedback" on eBay because I try so hard to be a responsible and prompt buyer/payor. I certainly haven't sold anything yet...I'm sympathizing with earlier messages about having a hard time letting go of any of this! I guess I need to either decide to pay (because I want the vase and don't want to incur negative feedback) and then to send a clear message in feedback to the seller...or to back off from the sale all together.

Well Betty, Some of the people on this list...Have things to sell I'm not one of them...But if your interested in buying figure out what you want and then ask...If they don't have it for sale they will probably know where you can find it...and if you don't have any books on McCoy, go out and buy one before you start spending too much money..."price books" Is what I'm talking about..and never ever buy anything with a chip, crack or imperfection..no matter how good the deal...It's worthless..to resale..now if you can't live without it that's a different thing..but don't pay hardly anything...Linda ------Original Message------ From revaughn@webtv.net Fri, 18 Feb 2000 15:41:53 -0500 (EST) Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2000 15:41:53 -0500 (EST) From: ELIZABETH VAUGHN revaughn@webtv.net Subject: Help!! New to selling McCoy and new to area. Betty, Linda has a good point about the books, and about not buying damaged pieces. We started over 20 years ago, and it was so cheap then that we bought it if we didn't have it as long as the damage wasn't too bad. I recently bought an old jardiniere that had a tight hairline (which I didn't see at the time) and did sell it because someone had the matching pedestal. However, things usually don't work out that well.

New to selling McCoy and new to area. Hi, I'm not on the computer everyday. I checked my messages and if you want to go to the NMXpress site: http://members.aol.com/nmxpress/ It appears that only some of the classifieds that appear in the newsletter are listed but it is also good for info. The articles, repro info and links to other sites are great. I have been collecting for only five years but I'm hooked. I collect animal planters and sandstone dinnerware (I'm looking for some square plates if anyone out there has any). I am newly unemployed after 29 years and hope to spend some time buying and selling online (I have so much to learn about computers!) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From Bond4@lcc.net Wed, 23 Feb 2000 19:52:01 -0600 Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2000 19:52:01 -0600 From: Bond Family Bond4@lcc.net Subject: Research & sell collection This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0011_01BF7E37.738EC260 From jmikes@webtv.net Thu, 24 Feb 2000 00:10:04 -0500 (EST) Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2000 00:10:04 -0500 (EST) From: Teardrops jmikes@webtv.net Subject: Research & sell collection The Collector's Encyclopedea of McCoy pottery by Sharon and Bob Huxford.
