How to sell a collection

Hello collectors, a client of mine passed away and left me with an unusual collection of knives, some of them European and others have themes that many will find offensive. What is the best way to sell a collection like this? I am an experienced eBay seller, but for various reasons this collection is not a good fit for my eBay account. Any advice would be appreciated.

See if there's a large flea market in your area and set up a table. They are often held weekly or monthly and it's usually pretty much "anything goes" at most flea markets as long you aren't selling anything illegal.

You are posting in the switchblade forum. Is that what the collection is? Ebay does not allow switchblades to be sold.
How many knives are in the collection?

I am seeing plenty of switchblades on ebay now.

Since you're now a member here B.T., why not set-up an AAPK store?
Jus' sayin"!

If the knives have offensive themes this isn't likely to be a good venue either. Just saying. This is pretty much a PG forum.

Some people find switchblades, in general, offensive. Wondering if they are historic military knives, like WWII German?
Regardless,
to AAPK.

Thanks for the responses, all.
It looks like I don't meet the requirements to be a seller (<100 forum posts), plus I'm not sure I want to invest the time.
There are 10 stilettos, 2 collectibles by Buck and Case, and a few other odd knives.

You don't have to open a store to sell here. Buy a premium membership. Just click where it says Support AAPK on the upper right of this page for details. Then you can list them for sale in the knife commerce section.
