Cheapest way to sell shares? + other questions!

Hi
I have ten shares in coca cola HBC, although my original share certificate says 100 shares I think they sort of consoliditated them? and I now have ten on the statements I get from Lloyds tsb registrars although I bought them through Barclays share deal about 7 years ago. I would rather have the money now to put towards a car so any advice please!?
Also I have some old certificates I don't know even if the companies are still trading, how could I find out if they are - I think if I'd had enough money I would have been a name at Lloyds!

    For selling them have a look at Hoodless Brennan and The Share Centre or iii.co.uk and The Halifax.

    You've seen my other post re: Selftrade..

    For the other companies, either contact the relevant share registrar (details should be on the share certificates) or post a list here and someone may be able to help you..
