<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 308377, member: 3726"]I agree with this. So this is not about huntsman53 auctions, but how I approach Ebay auctions. When I look at auctions with accurate grading and a respectable reserve. If an AU coin can be had on heritage for $30, don't set your starting reserve at $50. I will skip that auction - and if a reserve of $30 does not meet your requirements for profit or break even point, maybe you should not be selling the coin. I do not win many auctions so I am suprised anyone loses money on ebay. My losing bid list is always longer than my won list. It seems like once I determine the grade and what I will pay, then I bid. I lose almost all of these auctions. As a matter of fact 5 of my last 6 auctions were won at the starting reserve price and the 6th was a BIN. I did snipe the 2 auctions before that. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
