Message:: [QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1977725, member: 25270"]I think buying world coins in the U.S. is a great deal, but it all depends on where you buy them and sell them. Ninety percent of U.S. dealers see world coins as an annoyance or something for the kids to play with. That means you can buy them at a great deal, but it also means you don't want to sell to them, because they won't give you good value. Although many complain about eBay's fees and other issues, it's the only place you can get good value for your world coins, and like Numismat said, you need to ship overseas for the best prices. I buy and sell comparatively low value stuff, but if I can buy 100 coins at 10 cents apiece and resell them at $1-$5 apiece, I think that's pretty good value. Many people don't want to waste their time with low value stuff like this, but it adds up. I ship regular mail for all orders of four coins or less, and I have had some international and even domestic mail get lost, but not enough to make me want to stop selling. Most of my lost mail has been to Russia, but I have had a lot of buyers there who often pay what I consider to be inflated prices.[/QUOTE]
