<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Zak, post: 36409, member: 824&quot;]Morgan Fred is right...close, clear pics are key and I always state, &quot;Since grading is a matter of opinion, please take a&nbsp; look at the close-up pictures and YOU determine your own grade.&quot;&nbsp; Also, I never state VF25 or MS62.&nbsp; I like to state VF or BU or AU.&nbsp; That keeps your own grading on the conservative side.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gallery Pictures have helped me sell for higher prices.&nbsp; They are worth the $.25.&nbsp; They attract more bidders.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s what I do to protect myself when I ship:</p><p><br /></p><p>I ship <u>all</u> of my coins with USPS delivery confirmation.&nbsp; It costs an additional $.55, but it has saved my butt a couple of times because I can go right to their web site and see exactly when it was delivered.</p><p><br /></p><p>For instance, I charge $2.50 to ship a coin in a new 2x2, in a bubble wrapped envelope, with USPS First class mail and delievery confirmation. The $2.50 covers my time (well, not really), the padded envelope, and confirmation.&nbsp; If a person wins multiple auctions, I charge only $.50 additional per 2x2 coin, as long as they ship as one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also state, insurance is recommended but optional, but I make it very clear that I am not responsible for lost packages.&nbsp; This is where the delievery confirmation comes to play.&nbsp; Insurance for the first $50 is $1.30 additional.</p><p><br /></p><p>For slabbed coins, I charge $4.00 that covers all of the above plus additional packing to protect both the slab and coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Afterwards, I email the winning buyer with their tracking number and this makes buyers happy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
