I hope you took your medication before generating that post.</font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial"><br /></font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial">I&#039;ve successfully bought/sold on the internet for ~15 years, and constantly do research in what to sell, how, when, and the current &quot;mood&quot;. I&#039;ve come to use eBay as the standard for normalcy of market interest in Generic precious metals and Numismatic items. I&#039;ve won several bets with others about buying/selling because of eBay trends, but have learned with humility that the trends are unpredictable, and generally find difficulty in predicting unless there&#039;s a relatively large current sampling. I find that eBay best provides that.</font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial"><br /></font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial">The lots of coins I sell are minimally 4 figure, and geared to informed buyers generally unwilling to gamble, who&#039;ve been successful in their fields of endeavor because of acuity and perseverance. These individuals generally know what they&#039;re buying or selling, and current market trends, often meeting with a computer in hand for negotiation. They often have bookmarks for the various sites, but a common denominator is the advanced eBay search which generally reflects current market parameters. </font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial"><br /></font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial">I have found this eBay &quot;advantage&quot; so useful that I could sell more than I&#039;ve available time to deliver. I&#039;m very happy that others are using the resources they tout, because I outsell/buy (i.e. best net return) the majority using my eBay models in buying/selling on eBid, eBay, craigslist, etc.. </font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial"><br /></font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial">EBay has helped me to determine what sells, the best spiel, current market pricing, how to &quot;package&quot; various commodities, and where to sell the various items.</font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial"><br /></font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial">I hope that you&#039;re not sharing this information with many, as it appears sellers are oblivious to this resource, but maybe as other buyers, your awareness is more acute. </font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial"><br /></font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial">I believe you are more correct about some commodities, and even though I buy/sell across the general spectrum of Numismatic items, there may be areas where other resources better reflect specific PM/Numismatic interests.</font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial"><br /></font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial">Just the observations of an &quot;</font></b><b>OLD TIME collector&quot;. </b><b><font face="Arial">:thumb: </font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial"></font></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
