Just a thought. The Dollar is down. Foreign currency is up. What if foreign buyers had agents in the USA buying for them. Sleep well tonight. LOL

 

Forgot to mention, I had a XF version for sale at the same time at 14.99 with out bids

 

Nice pocket change for that.

 

Seems a little high, particularly if you had a higher grade available at same time. It's the Bay -- enjoy the sale and hope the buyer doesn't return it. By the way, I like your shipping cost. Solid.

 

I try to keep shipping as low as I can. I hate sellers who try and make money on the shipping

 

You got lucky. If anyone can ever figure out the logic of eBay bidders, they could get rich. I once tried to sell 6 glass shrimp cocktail icers. I tried $9.99 each. No bidders. I tried $9.99 for 2. No bidders. I tried $9.99 for all 6. No bidders. About a month later, I tried $9.99 for all 6 again. They sold for $109 + shipping. Now explain that!

 

It is the extremely rare, little known "high D" variety, probably worth thousand$

 

Ah, the effect of bidding wars and the psychology of it all. It surely comes out to some large dollars sometimes, it's just the way the ebay ball bounces.

 

Define "Try and make money on the shipping" with regard to this particular auction.

And please realize that PayPal takes 3% of every shipping dollar paid plus .30 on each transaction.

 

1.25 shipping
-.64 actual shipping
-.10 for the folder
-.20 for the envelopes used
------
.31
then you got gas and time involved and that takes up more money

 

Bid Idiots...

 

Sometimes its a battle between two people that just have to have it
Thus driving the price out of sight !!

 

the cropping on the reverse makes it look like
you may have a small straight clip at 3 o'clock

 

A month later, shrimp was in season.

Hmmm a LWC that is more VG than F with a redbook price of $7.

Nice deal for the seller.

 

Nice thing about ebay is you have buyers hot for something and you can score if you're the seller...I once worked with a guy who had the bug for Walkers and he'd pay too much for coins at time just because he got that bidding bug - but whatever make him happy.

 

I have a theory but can't prove it. There is a D/S known for this year. Any chance a couple specialists were able to recognize this as one from the positioning of the mintmark?

 

The only 3 bidders of that coin must have needed it really bad for their album.

 

The natural human instinct to click a button that makes something come in the mail. Actually there were 12,000,000 minted which is fairly rare for wheat pennies I suppose. Maybe somebody really wanted to fill that hole. Very odd though there are many with better condition for buy it nows that are less.
