i will Just one more question about ebay. Lets say i place a bid on an item that is worth $50 I place a bid of $10 and i win with that bid. Can the seller then say he wont sell because he did not get the price he wanted? Or does he have to sell it then? just out of curiosity
This would explain why folks are paying waaaaay above melt for scrap silver. All the dealers around town here are easily 10-20% cheaper. Ebay is great for buying slabbed coins and currency though, great place to get a bargain.
"Lets say i place a bid on an item that is worth $50 I place a bid of $10 and i win with that bid. Can the seller then say he wont sell because he did not get the price he wanted? Or does he have to sell it then?" Only a jerk would back out of that sale.
Thanks for the info. There is a man in Belgum selling PCGS slabbed coins between MS65 and MS68 only ships to belgium Verified the numbers on the PCGS website and they are real. 4 dollars (according to PCGS price guide they each are worth $15) I made an offer of $25 So i hope i win that auction, and that the seller wont back out (he has 100% positive feedback)
If they ever back out or scam you, you are protected via eBay protection. Also the only way they could back out of a price issue like that was if they had a reserve price set in which if a item doesn't meet the reserve he doesn't have to sell. But that is a thing the seller has to add in his auctions. And as a buyer you'll see on the listing that it'll say "reserve not met" again good luck and we're here to help, just ask.
When you say "make an offer" are you talking about an auction or a best offer? these are 2 different things. Putting a bid on an auction is putting in the maximum price of an item you want to pay. Then you have to wait for the auction to end. Making an offer is usually done on a buy-it-now item. The seller makes an option of best offer and you can haggle with them. They don't always accept but sometimes they do.
But that doesn't mean they ARE real. Counterfeiters make fake coins and put them into fake slabs. The fake slabs will have the correct grade, the correct serial number, the correct everything. So when people check them like you are they think they are real - when they are not real. But they might actually only be worth $2. Slabbed coins in Europe are pretty unusual, scarce even. So if this guy you are talking about has lots of them, if it were me I would be hesitant to bid. He might just be an outlet for the Chinese counterfeiters. Or - he may have been taken in by the counterfeiters. I'd do some more checking before I placed any more bids with him if I were you.
at this moment someone outbid me and the auction is over. to bad, but hey thats life I did find this one where i would like to bid on. http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-PCGS-GRADED-COIN-LOT-GREAT-BUY-/280821788070?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D5%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D6186412738179492823#ht_500wt_1180 What do you thing about them. I lookes at PCGS and some of the coins give the result being SP68 (while the slab's say MS68) Other ones do come trough as what stands on the slab. is it a do or a dont? When you say do some more checking, what can i check more?
so far i can see that the package consist in: 8 PR68DC coins 1 PR68DC coin 1 MS66 coin 2 MS67 coins 7 SP68/69 coins Worth to bid $20 or not?
The grade is not the thing, the coin is. A PR70DC 2011 penny is worth 550,000 times less than a G-4 1901-S quarter.
Is it worth $20 ? Yes. But you're not gonna win it for $20. Personally, I would never bid on it. I'd buy original Mint and Proof sets and have all of the coins, of the same quality, for less money that you will if you try and get the same full sets by buying lots like this.
