<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 1023653, member: 22331&quot;]<b>Appreciated Specificity</b></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial Black">Thanks for the general specifics. Without knowing the exact coin details, I also can only generalize, as you have.</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">A &quot;collection&quot; as you&#039;ve described would be broken into &quot;lots&quot;, having an average size of $2968. There wouldn&#039;t be listing fees as I&#039;m allowed 100 free auctions. The initial required bid would be ~$2968. If the auction closed at the initial bid amount (a worst case uncommon scenario) my final fees paid to eBay would be $50, or ~1.7% of gavel price. Shipping fees would be paid by the buyer. PayPal fees would be 3% of forwarded buyers funds. The total fees would be appreciably less than 5%.</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">If an initial bid amount isn&#039;t realized, I&#039;ve never left my desk, there was no need to negotiate with a third party, the consignor still has their coins, and there are no fees charged for the effort. Many consider the eBay experience refreshing relative to major auction consignment or &quot;follow-up&quot;.</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">I&#039;m not saying that my approach works for, or is suited to </font><font face="Arial Black">all, but it does work equally well for many. The aforedescribed process works without the convoluted </font><font face="Arial Black">hassle/</font><font face="Arial Black">ritual that I, and many associates have personally experienced as a consignor to major auction houses. </font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">Funds are securely exchanged in a matter of days, rather than who knows how or when.</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">You may take exception to my generalities, as I yours, but I&#039;d venture to bet that there are far more coins exchanged annually through eBay than major auction houses, both in volume and funds.</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">I may be incorrect, possibly misguided/uninformed, but as yours, the aforementioned are my general experiences.</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">Respectfully, Rich :bow:</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
