Sure, they'll sell em to ya for $1.50 each but their buy price is usually $1.00. Nice uncirculated coins would fare a little bit better but not by much. When I go to coin shows, Eisenhowers are always very hard to find simply because the buying audience is limited and 9 out of 10 times, what they haul to the shows just doesn't sell. For eBay, calculate your break even point by adding the listing fee's, the final value fee's (12% of the first $50 and then 6% of the balance from $50.01 to $1,000) and then the paypal fee's (2.9% + .30). Start your listing well above that amount and see if you get any buyers. Remember, its a hassle packaging these up and mailing them and you must weight the difference between selling them for a small profit vs taking them directly to the bank in which case your only out your gasoline. Unless I have very nice looking, uncirculkated coins, I usually avoid eBay for Eisenhower Dollars since each coin needs to sell for at least $1.25 apiece to realize any profit. I hate selling $100 worth of face value coins, going through the packaging and mailing, only to realize a buck or two in my favor. It's a choice you have to make.[/QUOTE]
