Ever fed the sharks in a bidding war?

    in that case, you will get a pm/dm when i list a really nice icg morgan on the bay ;)

    In slight seriousness, it'll still be several months before I try Ebay (I'll be 18 in March), but when I do, if I have Morgans like this, I'd likely try to list them under the Buy it Now listings to avoid possibly losing money, but I would sometimes experiment with certain coins to see how the bidding goes.

    You might have actually helped a fellow CoinTalker by shark feeding on that coin, granted they might not have posted for a while but there are a ton of members.

    You are only 17? I thought most of us were as old as Fred Flintstone.:p There's a few ways to go if you are selling. If you don't have any street cred or rating yet, I'd start with BIN. Then dip your toes into auctions with a reasonable reserve. The $1 starting bidding prices get the best bidding action, but you need a reputable reputation and a solid selling history. PM some of these other guys for advice, many are dealers. I'm just a buyer. I've sold exactly ONE coin, and it was to a coin shop in person. They "deserved it". And that's a story for another day.:p:D
