[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2445091, member: 27832"]Sounds like you need what we computer folks call a "level of indirection". Don't write auction numbers on flips. Instead, keep [I]your own[/I] list of serial numbers -- you can just number each coin sequentially as you list it for the first time. Then record [I]your[/I] serial number for the coin in your spreadsheet, along with the eBay auction number. When you relist, you can just change the eBay number in the spreadsheet row; you never have to change the label on the coin. I think you'll find that's how most dealers do it. In fact, some of them put their inventory numbers right in the auction title. That makes it easy to search eBay for the current and completed listings (if you've listed the coin more than once). I wasn't aware that eBay had introduced a "custom listing number" feature. Maybe some of my assumptions are wrong. I'll try to remember to look into it. Thanks for the info![/QUOTE]
