<p>[QUOTE="cvicisso, post: 1188788, member: 29382"]Update: Just to test out the theory, I started selling a few rolls at a time, but with eBay's fees, I was barely breaking even. So, now I'm selling them 8 coins at a time for about $1 apiece. I break open a T-T roll and pick out the best ones (must have six full steps and minimal - if any - 'bag marks'). I seal them up in a 2x2 and sell them 8 at a time 'Buy Now' or 'Make Offer' style. Customers seem happy - they can't beat that deal in a shop, and I've had repeat buyers and one multi-lot (7) buyer. Even after shipping (free for customer), and eBay fees, I'm averaging close to $1/coin. I sure won't get rich or retire this way (never my intention), but it's nice to know that my 'logic' (or lack thereof!) can payoff at least a little bit in the short term. I still plan on holding on to the bulk of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
