Selling my coins. What to expect?

Less exposure, but it's free. If the coin can be sold while avoiding fees then it is worth a shot. Worst case, it doesn't sell, at which point you take it to Ebay.

This is a good point, and probably represents the lone downside. However, I would be more paranoid as a buyer than as a seller. I tend to give the benefit of the doubt though, I wouldn't be all that apprehensive about dealing with familiar names in these forums.

True, but those millions won't be looking at his coins. On pages that have counters, I see a lot of coin auctions that have less than 100 views and many that have less than 10. But that's also because of their search function. Those 10-100 people who did look at it, were likely looking for that specific coin.

True, but I'd have a lot of confidence in selling to a CoinTalk member that has been a member for several years and knows his reputation could be ruined if he tries to pull some sort of scam. If I was selling a $1000 coin, I might not sell it to someone that joined last month and has 10 posts. Just sayin'...

 

Yes, I read about some of those a little while back. Most were out <$10. I'm not sure what happened to the guy, but I'm still a trusting sort of person that likes to give people the benefit of the doubt. Most people in Montana are the same.

But - Try to screw me over and I might just decide to take a road trip.

 

Take them to a major coin show. I have had more success there than anywhere.

 

In my limited experience with B&M's is they will cherry pick an album for the few they want and offer 3 cents each for lincolns and melt for silver. Also what they sell has luster and yours has been dipped. Ah rant over. G-nite mates.
