Whereabouts are you? Also, what do you class as "high value"? I'd agree with previous comments on photos. More is better, and not 11 blurred shots plus 1 shot of a finger over the lens. Though on eBay I'm often surprised how many "bids" are attracted to very poor sales listings. Shipping is always a bit subjective in my experience. There are ways to do it. I prefer if that arrangement is worked out between the parties rather than just ruled out from the start but each to their own.
...of course, you could try a listing on here first and if no takers try elsewhere. I'd always usually try forums first.
