Holiday weekends are ripe for the picking on many auction sites. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120442463494&viewitem= &sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&salenotsupported __________________ W.I.N.S / ANA / SLCC / Mesa Coin Club I am a poker player ..."thats beyond trailer trash" Joan Rivers on Celebrity Apprentice, 4/09 Hot Sauce Fanatic !!!   07-12-2009, 12:57 AM   #2 (permalink) the_man12 Amateur Photographer     Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Illinois Posts: 2,955 My Mood: Very nice!

Is that a keeper, or one to sell on your site? If for sale, how much would you expect to get? It's pretty, but not worth the cash to me. But I'm a newbie Joe   07-12-2009, 01:14 AM   #4 (permalink) Arizona Jack The Lincoln-ator     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Dry Heat USA Posts: 6,754 My Mood: I am not going to say it's for sale, rules here you know. Seriously I have not decided. I think it is at least worth 3X what I paid on the open toner market. Thats about 1/2 what many would charge, this date/mm/grade color coin has sold for upward of $150 many many times. For now, it is my collection. __________________ W.I.N.S / ANA / SLCC / Mesa Coin Club I am a poker player ..."thats beyond trailer trash" Joan Rivers on Celebrity Apprentice, 4/09 Hot Sauce Fanatic !!!   07-12-2009, 01:28 AM   #5 (permalink) hrhomer Member     Join Date: May 2009 Location: The Outer Sunset, SF, CA Posts: 129 My Mood: Wow...

I learned the hard way and had a bunch of decent coins go for next to zip last year on Superbowl Sunday. Now I plan ahead and have made some decent buys during a holiday weekend. __________________ W.I.N.S / ANA / SLCC / Mesa Coin Club I am a poker player ..."thats beyond trailer trash" Joan Rivers on Celebrity Apprentice, 4/09 Hot Sauce Fanatic !!!   07-12-2009, 10:04 AM   #11 (permalink) schatzy ~Roosie Fanatic~     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Virginia Posts: 716 My Mood: Blog Entries: 1 Quote: Originally Posted by Arizona Jack I always project the end dates when I sell on the bay just for this reason.

I only end my coins on Saturday or Sunday and if it is a 3 day weekend I don't list anything. Last year I won some very nice coins for 23% of retail price. It was christmas eve. I always do an extra search of coins on holidays and big events like Superbowl Sunday. __________________ ~Jaime~ My Proof Roosevelt Set My Toned Roosevelt's   07-12-2009, 10:19 AM   #12 (permalink) pennywise Collector of dust     Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Earth Posts: 456 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Arizona Jack I always project the end dates when I sell on the bay just for this reason.

I have made that mistake myself AJ., Selling nice coins ending on holidays and/or special days that sold for half of their value.

I've snagged a few nice coins in the past because the ending times were very late at night or very early morning, on either coast. I think some people sit around puting things up for auction at all hours of the night not even thinking about that. So, on the days when I'm up at some forsaken hour getting ready for work, I always check.

Here are some studies of the best time and day to end an auction. __________________ ~Jaime~ My Proof Roosevelt Set My Toned Roosevelt's   Page 1 of 4 1 2 3 4 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
