Selling a small amount of shares

I want to sell some shares (total £680) and I would normaly go to my high street bank but wondered where the best (cheapest) place to do it is.

It is a one off sale as I'm keeping the rest for a rainy day so I don't want to sign up to an internet company.

Ta very much x
Just run, run and keep on running!

    Thanks, this looks a bit daunting as I normally walk into the bank to sell (only done it twice before)

    So how dow does it work? Would I have to post them my share certificate? How is the money (the £50 and the share profit) credited to my account?

    Thanks and sorry for the dumb questions :rolleyes:

    Its all very easy,everything is done on-line,after i have refered you comdirect will send you a email,with all nessacary forms to fill in,send back with your paper certificate.7-10 days later or sooner,you will recieve you £50 bonus.
    Next step,sell your shares,you place a order to sell in your account at a fixed price or open market price.
    Shares sold,money from sale less£12.50 dealing fee,+£50 bonus,withdraw into any account you want.
    So for about 1hr work you will be £75-£12.50=£62.50 better off,as opposed to selling them in a bank min fee £25,and you can pick and choose when you sell and at what price.
    If interested PM me,with your full name and a prefered email address.
