Easiest way to sell share certificates?

[faolteam]

I have some share certificates that I found recently my old stockbrokers have moved

What's easiest way to find out or sell them with now

I think you have to give them to the likes of Davys who will register them and sell them for you.

Someone else suggested that you could get onto the Registrar and register them yourselves on their system and then sell them through an online broker.

Some registrars also allow you to buy/sell directly through them. I think computershare still do. They certainly used to

No Computershare dont anymore

Sounds like you might have to deposit them into an account in Davy/Cantor or another broker and sell them that way.

Depends on the broker.

Moved where?

As in, Campbell O’Connor, gone?

There aren't many bricks and mortar retail stockbrokers left in Ireland.
Davy, Goodbody and Cantor Fitzgerald are probably the main ones.
Getting share certs converted so that they can be dealt with by an online broker may be a lot of hassle.
As far as I recall Campbell O'Connor clients had the option of being transferred to Cantor Fitzgerald or liquidating their holdings when they were closing down.

Thanks Clubman the only thing putting me off is there is a €50 euro quarterly account or a €200 yearly account before u lodge a share cert then its €99 euro per cert to lodge
