It's about time to unload some coins. Ever since I was a little squirt selling news papers on a street corner I have been collecting coins. Now I am retired and I keep on buying them, 437 just in the last 2 weeks. Recently I sold about a dozen of my collection and thats all I've sold thru the yrs. Now that my income is greatly reduced economics tells me that I have to sell some to keep on buying. Any expierienced sellers out there have any suggestions or tips on keeping the fees to a minimum or any other info you would share?Thanks.
if you want to keep honest, selling on the forum would be best. However, you will get alot more people looking at the item on Ebay or the like. To keep fees to a minimum, start the auction at 99Cents with no reserve. This way the current market will dictate the price not a book published a year or more ago. You might not make as much money that way, but it will usually sell the first time, and that way will will not have to pay relisting fees as often (even though the first relist is free, if the item sells the second tiem that is) Reserver prices, a high starting price and any of the other a-la-carte items all cost more.
Hey breeze, it's for sure I'm not a "seller" but I can imagine that IF someone were to buy stock in eBay, it might help off set some of the charges they make when you use their services. They do pay fairly good dividends.
Dan Dan,to influence them it would take way more stock than I could afford. I used to be very active in the market,several trades a day, but ebay, somehow I missed that one. The market no longer interests me, lost it when all the crooks surfaced. I did once contact a company that I had stock in. I had seen in the paper that the C.E.O. made over 100 million a yr. and the company had never made a dime, no wonder. His wages amounted to .11 c. a share, I suggested that to make a profit he should be replaced with someone who does not think he is irreplacable, apparently many other shareholders felt the same as later he gave back 23 million of his wages. Corporate greed disgusts me, thats why I'm back to coins.
