Selling collectibles

[Ally66]

Hello everyone! I have been working my way through some childhood boxes and have found some pieces that I've learned from a brief internet search might be desirable to collectors. Not high value -- I have 4 pieces that could sell for anywhere from $20-75 each. What I'm wondering is whether it is appropriate to message one of the ebay sellers who have items from this maker in their shop and ask if they might be interested in buying mine? Is that either breaking an ebay rule OR a rule of selling etiquette? I don't want to offend. I realize this isn't a big money making proposition and that a shop owner would have to leave room to make a profit. But I'd love for these to find their way to someone who really wants them. (They're Napco Itsy Bitsy angel figurines from the 1950s.)

Thanks in advance to anyone who has knowledge or opinions!

Can’t answer about EBay since I wasn’t a big seller there however you might consider selling them on Etsy yourself. I think Etsy is a bit more vintage friendly than EBay. You might also look into local consignment shops to sell them. EBay is handy to see prior sold items so you can get an idea of what is actually being paid for them.

Had to look them up as I wasn’t familiar, they are adorable!

That's a good thought, @YadaYadaYada. I may have to break down and look into Etsy selling. And thanks -- they're very sweet little things!
