Re: Selling Stock

It might also be possible to sell the stock directly to the company that 
issued it. I know General Motors will buy back its own stock in this 
manner. You just Fedex the old certificates back to them and they send 
you a check. This is a very easy way to avoid the hassle associate with 
selling small amounts of stock.

By the way, I concur with those who recommended holding on to the stock 
if the original poster doesn't need the money. The heirs would greatly 
benefit from the stepped up basis rule.
