Q I recently bought a lot of postcards but it seems there’s really no market for them. I tried a couple of places but they refuse to even see the items. Where is a good place to try to sell them?
A Did you buy them as an investment, hoping to sell them at a profit? It’s never a good idea to invest in something unless you know what to look for before you buy, and what is desirable and valuable. Only a small number or postcards sell for high prices. Most sell for 25 cents or less. Inexpensive postcards sell online in groups of 25 or 30 postcards for about $7. Old postcards sell at flea markets, antiques shops, and house sales. They also sell online on sites like eBay. You can go to a postcard show in your area and see what postcards like yours are selling for and whether there is any interest in them.
