Star Trek memorabilia appraisal/disposal
Cleaning out my closet this morning, I've discovered a box of what look like old, decent-condition Star Trek collector plates. I barely remember how they got there (a charity auction at A-kon...2009? IDEFK), and don't particularly want to keep them; I'd usually turn to eBay in order to sell them off, but in this case, 1) am not enthused about having to pay/charge out the ass for shipping nine or ten heavy, breakable plates, and 2) see way too many fucking results for "star trek collector plates" to have a clear idea of what this particular set might be worth, especially since I don't have much idea as to their origins. Should I try to play match-up with whatever series or creator my plates seem to be from, set a price, and just see what happens? Or is it worth trying to find a local pawn or hobby shop that might be able to give me a better idea and/or buy them off me? I'm not as concerned with their worth as with getting them the hell out of my closet, but do want to get a little something out of it.
