<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1961690, member: 42773&quot;]Well, here&#039;s my straight-up assessment of your business venture, like it or not. Calculating in the BP and shipping I&#039;d say you&#039;re paying about $15 per coin, so if you&#039;re looking to sell them on eBay, you really can&#039;t charge less than $25 apiece, just to make a few bucks profit after eBay&#039;s cut, Paypal fees, and your shipping charges. Closer to $30 would be a better starting bid, or BIN. But will collectors buy them at $30?</p><p><br /></p><p>The thing about those Parion Hemidrachms is that people want clear, distinct portraits of Medusa. The ones in the auction pic look pretty worn, and those are just the ones they pictured. Let&#039;s hope the obverses that aren&#039;t showing are better. Otherwise, what you paid for the coins is exactly what they&#039;re worth on the market now, not less.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you search the sold listings on eBay, you&#039;ll see what I mean. Coins that look like yours sell for around $14-17. The realized prices go up as the portraits of Medusa get better.</p><p><br /></p><p>All that being said, I sincerely hope you prove me wrong and make yourself a decent profit. (Now the guy who won lot 1068 got a steal. If he&#039;s selling those pieces, he should be able to get double his investment.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
