    Right lads, just wondering how does one go about selling shares, if they have the the certicate themselvese.

    In the past i've sold shares, simply because the brokes had the certicate, so i could just ring up with reference number and sell what ever amount i wished.

    But a few years ago, i bought shares in a particular company and was sent the certicate and details in the post - So how do i sell them? Can i just go to a branch of the bank which i bought them through or what?

    Thanks for any help,
    -Ace-

    sorry ace, ironically enough, many people on here, myself included, have never owned a share! id say maybe give davy stockbrokers a call directly and they will most likely be able to buy them from you, or if not, theyd certainly know where to direct you. good luck

    Hey, yeah, you will need to post/give the share certs to your stockbroker or bank when you ask them to sell. Check with your broker but you may be able to sell now and then stick the certs in the post as the settlement period is T+3 (i think!)

    Before you post the cert to your broker you need to sign it first in the space provided. If the back is blank (some certs are) you will need to sign a form provided by your broker before they can sell the shares. Campbell O'Connor are the cheapest I have found in Ireland. Sharewatch are good too at €50 for Irish and UK shares but will not handle US certificates.
