<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 155458, member: 1242&quot;]Hey folks, I thought I would give my two cents on this subject!</p><p><br /></p><p>The fees involved with all of the parties noted, is exactly why I started selling coins at a local Flea Market! I can sell a $100 coin for $90 to $95 depending on the market trend for this particular coin and after paying my booth fee (selling space) of $20 per day plus $15 for a 3 Month (90 day) License, I will come out getting somewhere between $88 and $93 for the coin. Note: These returns are estimated and will be up or down depending on how many coins I sell a Day, a Month and the 90 Days in which I have my current License and the demand for the coin. If I sell more coins then my return is somewhat higher!</p><p><br /></p><p>Things to consider when considering to sell coins at a Flea Market: Does the Buyer base support such a venture? Does the Flea Market get more than just local buyers? Will I be able to expand my Customer base and contacts with this venture? If the Flea Market is open on Saturday and Sunday or Friday, Saturday and Sunday (plus Monday Holidays), which Days are the best for selling (i.e. more people and more people spending more money and yes, there are days that are better than others and times of the year that are better than others!)? Will my return on coins be sufficient after considering my costs (fees and Licenses) and time and will I be able to re-stock ? Do I have enough coins and enough of a variety of coins to spur interest in Flea Marketer&#039;s (people that travel to several Flea Markets over the weekend looking for good buys)? There are a few other things to consider such as weather and cover!</p><p><br /></p><p>Although Flea Market selling has it&#039;s good points, it also has it&#039;s bad points! You have to deal with a lot of folks that have no idea what a coin is worth, lots of people with lots of questions and weather that is not condusive to getting Buyers to show up. You also have to deal with people that are going to work you for a better deal on a coin or lot of coins. I still use eBay but have reserved it&#039;s use for higher dollar items that I cannot sell at the Flea Market or for very special high dollar items that I want to have more visibility (more buyers) that eBay can provide. Unless you have an eBay Store, then you will always have to contend with the higher selling fees.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
