<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1366468, member: 25270"]Omaha, if you think there's no work that goes into eBay auctions then that just shows that you don't sell on eBay in any serious way. If I list 100 coins, I have to scan or photograph each of them, then I have to edit them with photoshop so that the front and back image are on one photo, because eBay only gives me one photo per listing for free. Then I list each of them individually, type a description, and store the photos and coins in a way that I can find them when they sell. When they sell, I print out the shipping information, label the envelope, pack the coin, make a trip to the post office and wait in line. Then I drive back home. I might spend several hours a week on all this stuff. Add the fact that when I bought the coins I sorted through the value bin at the local coin store finding them. If you think that isn't worth me charging a dollar for a coin, so that a person can find the exact coin they want for their set, then that's your opinion. Don't buy from me - I'm sure you wouldn't anyway. But a lot of people out there do recognize the value, and you seem to like to argue for the sake of arguing. Buying lots is great when you just want some coins and it doesn't matter that much what they are. You might say "Hey, I'd like some British pennies," and you can find a bunch of lots out there. But when you say, "I need a 1948, 1921, 1915 and 1906 British penny," good luck finding a lot with those coins. Maybe, just maybe, it's easier for you to find that exact coin, pay $1.75 for the coin and shipping, and have it show up at your door, in a 2x2 ready to insert into your set. Just imagine the possibility.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
