How do I sell?

Hi there. I wish to do a one off deal and sell my last share holding. I have a share certificate for 150 shares. Value in the region £100. What is the cheapest and easiest way of doing this. As I will not have any further use for it, opening a online account seems hardly worthwhile. However if I go down the High Street route it seems I will pay half of there value in commission. Bit of a dilemma:( Can anyone offer any advice as to various options available to me. Thanks

Contact the registrars as they usually offer a cheap pooled selling service.0 -

I did similar once using Lloyds TSB and it was reasonably easy and not too expensive.

And why are divesting yourself of your one and only asset? To be swallowed in a debt hole?
