Hello, I got an offer of $46 on this coin and I was wondering if this is a good deal and if I should offer something lower. Thanks Dan
Your offer is a fair retail price for that coin but you should never make an offer unless you know what the item is worth. Before you buy something you should know, what the going rate is and what you would be happy paying, once you have those, the decision is relatively easy. If you need help determining what the going rate for a certain item is then I would suggest you post it BEFORE you make an offer.
Judging from the seller's recent negative and neutral feedback, I would not have made an offer at all. As jhinton said, if you have no idea what a fair value would be, then you shouldn't be making an offer. On top of that you MUST check seller's feedback beforehand. Chris
Agreed, based on his history I doubt I would have made an offer either. Way more refunds and lost items than I would take a chance on. By the way, the offer was a fair price.
book value is 45, so if your buying I would offer something lower. If your selling it, I would take 46.
I always make a lower offer than the BIN, just to see where it goes. Sometimes, I am the only bid. I would have came in at $40. You already know the seller will take $50, so negotiate some. I find that is part of the fun of the trading process, making the deal. But if you like it for $50, that's OK. All in all, prices seem to be down during this recession and if you are planning to hold the coin, it might be a good time to get it. IMHO gary
If you made a offer of $46.00 and the seller accepted you are committed to buy at that amount. Same as putting in a bid on a auction. Also at that amount with shipping included you are very near price guide so looks like a OK deal. Edit to add that this is a high volume seller so checking the feedback must be done in perceptive to that.
If you like the coin, go for it. The price isn't bad. Retail PCGS price guide says $44 for an average one. I'm not in love with the coin and would pass, personally. Looks like the seller has a lot of negs and neutrals. I figure negative feedback is almost always avoidable but I suppose if I sold 6600 coins each year I might run into some loonies. Lance.
He probably sells a lot more than 6600 per year as repeater don't count until there is a month between sales plus multiple sales only count once. BTW the terms of service do not allow for changes after a offer is tendered.
His feedback is not having to do a lot with the coins he sells, it is that he is a dealer and moved the coin while it was still on eBay. I have bought from this seller before and was satisfied
My 2 cents 1st Ck out the coin Numbers here->>>http://www.pcgs.com/Cert/71095809.html once your done making sure its a Real Pcgs graded Mercury Dime & a 1916-P MS-63FB. I would try$40.00 1st then 45.00 Full Bands would be a+ and my top offer. :kewl:
