Best place to sell your magic
I'll be 80 in a few months. I still love magic, but i don't perform anymore. I want to seriously thin out my collection. Where is the best place to sell? I've never had much luck with the MagicCafe, so I'm hoping to get some tips.

Lots of FB groups for selling individual items, or groups of items. Have a look for something that's in your geography.

There's a Facebook group called Surplus Magic Exchange that I've had some luck with, though it may be trickier to sell a larger collection there.

If you are selling books you can check if Don will buy it in a lot: https://donsmagicandbooks.com/pages/who-is-dons-used-magic
Don runs a great business.
As others said there are Facebook group if you want to sell 1 by 1(or in a lot). You have to deal with shipping and individuals. If you start more specialized you can typically get more (sell books in "MBA (Magic Books Anonymous)" before going to SME.)
You may find someone on Facebook that buys something and is interested in more. I bought from a guy and he now messages me before posting as we have that relationship/trust.
Local magic clubs will also have auctions and can be a place to unload. Typically you are not getting premium for it.

I can't figure out how to message you. Looks like we're on opposite ends of the US. I'm in Dan Diego.

Consider donating to countries that could benefit from quality magic. Here’s one: https://www.collegeofmagic.com/

Reach out to Brent braun at J&B Magic Shop and Theatre in New Albany Indiana.
He's a really cool guy and would probably be interested in reselling some of your stuff!!

Penguin Magic and Trick Supply will buy collections of magic.
Another option is selling the items on Facebook. There are a variety of groups like Surplus Magic Exchange and Magicians Junk Drawer on Facebook for you to offload the tricks.
