[QUOTE="kanga, post: 8109941, member: 9270"]I decided to sell off my Peace Dollar set. Twenty-two coins. My set was all PCGS/NGC slabbed, AU or better. First I removed the 1921 and the best one of the rest for my Type Set. (I didn't check for varieties if there is such a thing.) Therefore I listed 20 coins on eBay. How did I price them? 1. I looked each one up in the Greysheet. 2. I looked up the 4 most recent sold on eBay that were [U]PCGS/NGC slabbed in the same grade as mine [/U]and took an average. 3. I determined how much more that average was than Greysheet (turns out it was about 15%±2% for all except one). 4. I added 15% to the Greysheet value which put my prices neither the highest nor lowest on eBay. 5. I used FREE shipping which was a further price reduction. How did my sales go? Out of the 20 listed on eBay I only have 5 left (75% sold -- so far). And this was in about 1½ months. (I suspect Christmas shopping may have helped too.) And those 5 could go after Christmas once people count up their gift money. I'm happy and it appears my buyers are too.[/QUOTE]
