Winner!
The grade is MS 62 PL; at some angles you can't see any hits. To me it looks as nice as many MS 63 or 64 pieces. The photos also don't show it...
Everyone has to use what works best for them. That is why there are no set rules, just tips and preferences. And I do agree that 40% is excessive...
I believe my photos showed the marks quite pominently. What if I had used this obverse picture: [ATTACH]
And a seller tip: Check all the terms and details for the buyer. I once had a buyer make an offer that was slightly over full price, but they...
One more buyer tip: Don't show your cards. This means don't tell the seller I'm offering $x but can go higher if needed. I actually had a buyer...
Another tip for buyers: Be prepared to pay for the item if you make an offer. I'm not referring to @IBetASilverDollar 's case where the seller...
It might help, but in my experiences if there are that many watchers and one is interested, then they will message you with an offer even if you...
This is the reasoning. Plus with auctions, many ignore the ones that don't start low. For example, when I've done auctions for an $80 item, I get...

@-jeffB reminds me of another tip: Don't think you'll be successful in offers by telling the seller that you sell these at $x or can buy them at...
This is usually my strategy. 20% is a good number where both parties can feel like they did well.
Thinking is good! It means this thread is serving it's purpose. In terms of auto-accept or auto-decline, I believe those are good features if...
I have had those experiences as well. One offered 50% off on a coin I was selling. I countered at 15% off. The buyer must have become angry for...
I might try it if one of the CAC members that I know is planning on sending something in soon.
Please feel free to add to the thread with your own tips or experiences.
And a recent anecdote that inspired this thread: I'm looking for coins for my Dansco Type Set and came across a relatively inexpensive coin with...
And some for sellers: 1) Be nice to buyers. Don't let rudeness ruin a sale. 2) Try to always reply to offers. Even if it is really low, be...
