<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 3511292, member: 16729&quot;]I started noticing that about 8 years ago.&nbsp;&nbsp; I haven&#039;t sold anything important or expensive since.&nbsp;&nbsp; And I&#039;ve noticed LOTS of changes since!</p><p><br /></p><p>Shoot.</p><p><br /></p><p>What if I want to start selling some of my collection??&nbsp; And the problem with us niche collectors is that we will need niche <i>buyers</i> when the time comes to pare down our collections.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In this situation, I&#039;ve thought that perhaps using eBay as an &quot;advertising platform&quot; is the way to go?&nbsp; What I mean is this:&nbsp; Place all coins you want to sell together as a lot, with some insane initial bid of say $8,000 for coins that would collectively sell for (even if sold individually), at most, $1,500.&nbsp; An eBay listing gets the &quot;most eyes&quot; on your coins, from all over the world.&nbsp; Interested buyers see your coins.&nbsp; Then the real price negotiations take place outside of eBay, and when someone meets your &quot;price comfort zone,&quot; you can settle with the buyer the sale of any, or all, of your coins however you wish. And the best part (and the whole point!) is that the seller doesn&#039;t have to worry about giving eBay its vig!&nbsp; He only pays the listing fees (if that!). The beauty of this scheme is that some dummy may just come along and place a bid of $8K and pay it! </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not saying that this is a good idea, or that I would do it.&nbsp; However, I think I&#039;ve seen this kind of activity on eBay. </p><p><br /></p><p>Would this work?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
