<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C-B-D, post: 1780127, member: 43130&quot;]Great point. As a seller of 150-250 coins a month, I have to factor in my time, the cost supplies, travel expenses, etc.</p><p>For example, going to the ANA show in Chicago cost me about $500, then when I got back I had to spend $70 on 5,000 new business cards, $34 on a box of 500 bubble mailers, $24 on printer ink for labels, then I have to factor in the many hours of time taking and cropping pics, creating and scheduling listings. After all that I have to spend time packaging up coins, dealing with non-paying customers (about 3-5 per month on average). Then I have to pay the eBay and PayPal fees and subtract the $1.69 or more for the shipping label.</p><p>Selling on eBay for profit isn&#039;t easy. I don&#039;t have to take the risk of running true auctions, but I do. Most times I make money, but <u>every single week</u>, I lose some money on a few coins I sell. That&#039;s a risk I take. Most times when I lose, it&#039;s just $2-$15. The most I ever lost on a coin was $150. But as long as I learn from my mistakes and keep a finger on the pulse of the eBay market, I can still sell successfully.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
