[QUOTE="jimmy_goodfella, post: 7980, member: 919"]Hello thx for the intresting discussion fellows i enjoyed reading it. I sell items on ebay all the time and i also buy.Infact i used profit from what i sell in a revolving way to purchase my buys.I sell novelty items which are a real goer.and with the profit i buy myself sovereigns, i invested 800 usd into this venture and now i have a sizeable amount of sovereigns for my trouble.I tend to stick to bullion ones and not collectors then i cant go wrong just paying little over the intrinsic gold value and had some at less than the gold value too. heres my tips for selling 1.always put a starting price dont set it at to low or you will end up losing money in half your auctions as it takes so many bids just to get it up to profit.i usually set my start price at the price it cost me to buy + fees payable. 2. for postal charges stick on a handling charge to this will cover you ebay and paypall fees and make your starting bid look cheap, always show your postal charges though. 3.if your selling regular make yourself a great web template you can use over and over this will save you masses of time. 4.use relisting which is free if it dont sell and then sell the second time. 5. offer insurance as an option then if its only worth few dollars more than the signed for option self insure it thus making bit more money. for buying i will only do so if there is plenty of feedback and if not then email the people tht bought off him to ask if any problems ect as some people will leave a positive to not get bad feedback themselves i know i have as sometimes wheen ripped off for a couple bucks it aint worth the hassle to ruin you reputation. buy in the middle of the night too.And a great thing to do is look at other countries ebay listings as mostly the coins of intrest to usa buyers will be from usa sellers.silver eagles dont make in germany as they do in usa, and visa versa.I picked up some of my best bargains from non english speaking countries. for buying i reccomend always just buy from serious big sellers with 1000s of feedback.[/QUOTE]
