<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oz_in_ohio, post: 3373970, member: 89534&quot;]I have not sold through auctions as such where cons are concerned...I mainly sold key banknotes and war medals of the Boer war... There were a number od small time flea markets when i was in business and i had the small time dealer come to me and buy stock...Instead of buying 10.00 items, i steered them to 50c or $1 priced items at my wholesale price and pricing them for $5 and under...That way the kids were in it as well...but as their intrest dried up, so did my buyers.... I then used to weigh them up and sell them on ebay by the pound starting at 4.95 with a BIN of 20.00...More often than not, the 4,95 was bid and at the end i would get closer to $35.00 a pound.... I did not care as those stupid fools that killed the BIN ruined it for the rest... I have sold literally thousands of dollars worth on ebay as i price them to sell and not just to come down with no bid....Items like my WW1 medal i have in my picture, i start at 9.95 with a buy it now of 47.00...I have sold many at 47.00 but have needed the ribbon....But there are the few stingy ones that want items for nothing and only bid the first bid...Once again i get close to $100.00 for that WW1 medal so really they only did me a favor by bidding the low price...You see i have learnt to play these silly bidders at their game...I still think as the average buyer wants quantity and not quality, that listing half a pound or 1 pounds worth of coins is the best way to go....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
