Whoa, I found a bigger one....LOL http://cgi.ebay.com/1-500-Face-Valu...goryZ525QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Those are lots alright Roto. Lots of crap most likely. Unless you can get them under spot INCLUDING shipping I wouldn't waste my time. Bet you'd do better at your local auctions
That second one looks to be overpriced. From the description, it sounds like the majority of it is modern bullion coins.
I only pay with paypal and wont deal with people who dont accept it To say the lot is probably junk is just conjecture...The pictures are not good enough to say. Though I wouldnt buy anything I couldnt see before hand and the pics dont show enough to put me in my comfort zone. I have bought a large lot like this before and been very pleased with what I got but I asked for higher res photos before buying.
second auction is asking 11 X face as opening bid with buy it now of over 12 times face. By the time you pay shipping its gonna be 13 or 14 X face. That guy is dreaming when you can get 90% silver on ebay at 9X face pretty easy. Just today I had a guy email me asking to sell me a roll od F/VF 1964 Kennedy Halfs for $95 ppd. Thats 9.5X face. The first auction, I would rather have 1 1 ounce Buffalo Gold coin or Panda or eagle. Any 1 of those beats that whole lot.
I find the reserve and starting prices on those are too high. The first one should have met the reserve before reaching $800 The second one is starting too high & should either set it's start at max $2900, or set the reserve to that. Then, the bidding shall commence. Reserves are funny. They can attract TONS of viewers, but few bidders if people start getting disappointed about a reserve never reaching after tons of bids. (20-30) Even then, a reserve on an item worth less than $50 is silly. If your item it worth $50 or lower and you start it at $0.99 or $5.00 without a reserve...the bidders will raise it. Your odds of it reaching the actual value are very good. Especially for solid gold coins. Probably not so much with lesser value items, like a small lot of wheat pennies or steel pennies that's worth $50 to you. Those depend on the timing. Best thing for an actual price quote is to average the sale price of the last 10 completed auctions that sold...which are similar to yours (if possible that is).
