Selling vintage pen knives online....?

Hi folks
I'm thinking of selling my collection of antique pen knives and was just wondering if anybody has any ideas of the best way to go about it.
They are all good quality, very old, some are silver. Most of the blades are no more than an inch or two long so I doubt they'd be classed as weapons or anything.
There is a good local auctioneer and I'm half inclined to take them there but I thought I would explore other avenues first.
They are reasonably good sellers at antique fairs but I don't really do them any more, and I don't think the tightwads at our local boot sale would be prepared to pay anything like what they're worth!
Ebay seems to be a no-no but it looks like they might be allowed on Etsy.
Has anybody sold on Etsy and how have you found it?
Or are there any other options worth considering?
Thanks in advance!
