Not sure if this is the correct place to post this or not, but here it goes:

My wife and I are going to be downsizing next year and I have a man cave full of UK stuff. I have not seen similar items for sale anywhere to even get a good starting price. A few examples would be a 98 team signed ball and a framed print of the 98 championship game tip off signed by the seniors (Mills, Edwards and Shepard).

Has anyone ever sold UK memorabilia, and where is the best place to do so? I am assuming Ebay is the best answer, but wanted to solicit opinions.

I have had poor experiences with Craigslist and would rather not go that route. I am also in the Cincinnati area which further complicates things.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Offerup, Letgo, and Ebay are all places to sell. Ebay provides the largest pool of people, but if you want to sell it locally and avoid shipping costs, Offerup and Letgo would be the place to sell. Best of luck.

Thanks! I have tried Offerup, but have not gotten any interest. EBay probably makes the most sense in getting true market value. I am really not looking forward to selling all of this stuff.

I sold my entire collection on this site. I had 30 years worth of good stuff.

I donated a lot of my stuff. Someone else can enjoy prints, unworn hats, heavy winter coat and my leather coat I bought in Lexington attending a football game. I lost a lot of weight and now someone else can enjoy these things.

OP, this is just what I did but looking to sell I'd say EBay.

I have to do the same thing. I have a treasure and I can't take it to the grave. I have things like Adolph Rupp, Issel, Pratt and Casey signed team posters. 1958 NCAA Championship program (Elgin Baylor, etc.) Basketball magazines (Blue Ribbon, Street & Smiths and Cats Pause) in mint condition and some are over 50 years old. Some when Lew Alcindor was in high school and Jerry West and Oscar were in college. Many UK clothing items including 1978 Championship items. Lots of work to do because time is running out. Downsize, I must downsize.

I need to check out how Ebay works.

Sawnee please message me as I collect lots of UK items. Old basketball and football items. I even have a 1948 Final Four Program. The program from the night UK won the Gold Medal in the 48 Olympics in London. Anyway would love to chat and see if there might be some interest on both sides.

Is that not a violation of board rules? If not, that would be awesome!! Would love to see this stuff land in someone hands that loves UK as much as I do.
Click to expand...

All I did was post a few times that I was selling my collection and anyone interested could email me for pics and details. If that was a violation, it must have been minor.

I had team balls from 58, 66, 78, 96, 98, and 12, all with glass cases. A piece of the 96 Championship floor, a piece of the Rupp floor, and a JSA certified Rupp autograph that looked like he signed it yesterday. Those and a few more neat pieces. I miss it for sure but needed cash. Adulting sucks.

I would be up for some trades. I have all kinds of stuff at the house. All kinds of hunting gear id be willing to trade for some memorabillia. Most of it is double or triple XL. I have hunting bibs, boots size 13, gloves, hats etc.... Turkey calls, deer calls and an extra deer stand id be willing to let go of. Made it myself with my welder, its a damn good one. Better than anyone you can by. Its a 2 man stand about 15 feet tall.

I am a huge collector of UK stuff. I know this sounds weird, but I have Mashburn's used game sock that was given to me by my uncle. He somehow got it from one of the in game floor wipers. Somehow they acquired it.

I've got a 83-84 team signed ball and would like to know what value it has? Final Four year losing to Ewing and the Hoyas.

UlisMyMan would most likely be interested in all the balls he can get. Oh! Don't forget Smooth. Both of them love balls and can't get enough.

Got a bunch of great framed prints that are about 30 years old.

Also a signed 98 Final Four ball from none other than Pitino. But I think he ruined that one. :)

I have a record of Adolph Rupp called Great Moments in Ky Basketball. Has interviews with Rupp and different parts of games that Claude Sullivan called and various other things on it. It is very good. I am thinking of selling. Things have been rough with us since i lost my job and have been trying to raise a little cash here and there. Let me know if any interest. Thanks..Don
