Moving means decluttering
Now I wouldn't say that silver is part of the stuff in my house that I prefer to part with but I do feel that I bought some pieces in the past, mostly at the beginning of my silver collecting journey, that I wouldn't mind selling and then buying some more weight in silver rather than collective value.
This was done mostly because of the smaller offer on the local marketplace here and just browsing through the pieces that I resonated with and within a certain budget. They are not that great to pack in certain boxes that I use for my silver and therefore they got me thinking to at least offer some online before moving. If they sell, great, and in that case I will reinvest that money for more silver weight and if they won't sell, I will just take them with me to the new place and see if I can sell them there.
Difficult area to sell
Currenty, we're in a more difficult area to sell things, it's been a big annoying for me since we moved here that the marketplace is not that great, and we're kind of bound to a few of the coastal places within a certain range, unless shipping is available. In our new area it means we have a much bigger reach within the same distance and I've already seen many great things for sale over there as I was browsing for some furniture in the past weeks. I could get lucky selling things over there compared to here, but let's first give it a try so I can unlock some spare change to reinvest later.
925 silver coins Spain
Besides the few collective pieces (I think mostly from Italy), I'm also considering to offer the 40 euros silver coins from 2023 and 2024 because they are just 925 silver and I've seen people buying them for 45 euros while having a face value of 40 euros for quite some time now. I have no clue if I would sell them as many are offered but I guess it doesn't hurt to try. At the time I only bought them because the price was exactly the face value and I figured it was smart to buy them. I kept them in the plastic in case I would want to sell them in the future so I guess that was smart.
Honestly, I prefer to swap them for 999 silver instead :)
I guess I have some sorting to do today
While I was already planning on listing some other items today, I will gather my silver pieces and make a selection of things I could offer for sale, and see what happens. I would not buy any new silver before moving probably, but wait until we are moved to make sure nothing gets lost/ends up in other people's hands after moving. But I love the feeling of making space from time to time. It clears the mind, after all!
