Selling shares, best broker price

Keanosafc

I have an amount of shares I would wish to sell, but seems as though I have never done this before, I would like to get the best value brokers/sales for my shares.

I have approximately £800 worth of shares.

The registrars for the company stated they would charge 65 euro to sort this out. Is that good?

Do you have a share certificate?

65 Euros is shocking!!!! Thats the equilivent of £50.

The Iweb Stockbrokers I use charge £10 for UK and £15 for International Trades.

It's not all that surprising, a few years ago I had Barclays shares on paper, bought for me by someone else, single share certificate and decided to get rid of them since I do not hold shares on paper, if I remember correctly getting them converted to electronic shares was going to be a pain so I just sold them through Barclays, they charged me just over £45 to sell as I recall.

they are paper, and bought through barclays however barclays would have nothing to do with them, the registras is capita, (I had lost the share certificate, and they've already charged me 45 euro for a new indemnity, plus 80 euro to a insurance company, (must trade in ireland, to gaurantee them).

I bought the shares years ago, and never thought of them until a freind pointed out they'd gone up a bit.

Having never done anything like this, I'm clueless of what to do, hence the posts on here, any advice on making savings would be great.
