Message:: [QUOTE="biggiej, post: 651757, member: 19474"]I will try this again, I wrote this once and somehow unplugged my internet so it didn't send. Here we go!    I know there are a lot of folks here who either sell on ebay or have done so in the past. I need your wisdom!!!!   I have decided that in order to complete my set of both mint sets and proof sets from 1959 to 2009, I need to sell some of my doubles and extras. Though I have bought many things on Ebay, I have never sold anything.   I see great variances in the same product over a 7 day period. Here is my example: 2000 clad proof set completed aucion prices range from $5.80 - $27.50. With a lot of sales at $10-$12 and a lot at $20 - $22. There was not a noticable difference in the shipping or return policies, so why the huge variance. another example is the 2001 clad proof set, for the same 7 day period on ebay they sold from $40 - $55, though the numismedia guide lists FMV at $81. My local pawn broker lent me $53 as pawn value, would I not be better off just to sell it to him and avoid the listing and selling percentages not to mention all the other hastles.    I guess i am asking what sets these auctions apart? How do you get to the high end, and how do you make sure you get what you need without putting a starting price of $50. I am so confussed, i need guidence!!!:headbang:[/QUOTE]
