[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2615383, member: 15929"]I tried that .99 cent starting price and ended up selling a US Mint set for below face value. In other words, I just do not believe this .99 cent starting bid business unless you have a group of dedicated followers. With the exception of the 64-D Peace I have, I'd bet even money that I'd lose on virtually every DCarr Item I own. Why? Because it's a very slim market. It's a market which is more or less controlled by Coin Forums who happily and thankfully announce every new product. Kinda like the Type B Washington Market. At first, it was fairly strong at one time with resale prices adequately covering the grading and selling fee's. Today, only the high grade examples command any premiums. I'm not saying Daniel has a bad product but what I am saying is this his products have a fairly short lifespan on the open market where consistent premiums, except for a few coins, can be difficult to obtain. His products are definitely one of those "buy them because you enjoy them" types of products. Strike while the iron is hot because when the iron cools off, its tough to make a profit and more often than not, it's less than break even. Just my Opinion.[/QUOTE]
