<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1205418, member: 13650&quot;]I think a lot of people have never tried selling anything on ebay and have no idea what it amounts to.&nbsp;&nbsp; Anybody considering a purchase on there should realize that if they ever need to re-sell the item/coin/whatever,&nbsp; they will need to re-sell it for AT LEAST 12% MORE than they originally paid for it, JUST TO BREAK EVEN.&nbsp;&nbsp; If more people knew this, it would probably drive prices down.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve sold just a few coins here and there and couldn&#039;t break even on most.&nbsp; Plus the time involved in doing it.&nbsp;&nbsp; If I ever consider selling something, the thought of the fees usually changes my mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; About the only way you could possibly flip for a profit would be rising melt value or cherry picking something from somebody who doesn&#039;t realize what they have.&nbsp; Toners may vary widely, to your favor or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;So yeah, the goal of breaking even on most stuff is a tall order.&nbsp;&nbsp; A 13% profit is a 1% profit to the actual seller.&nbsp; Which is why you&#039;ll see some sellers list unrealistically high, tack on high shipping (and hope it gets missed) in hopes of overcoming ebay and paypals cut to have a decent profit left over for themselves.&nbsp;&nbsp; The buyer loses.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The bad part is, ebay is cheaper than most other places.&nbsp; But I wouldn&#039;t call it cheap.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
