<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 4432550, member: 13307&quot;]I&#039;ve been running weekly auctions for about a month now.&nbsp; The first two or three were pretty strong (about 1/3 of the items sold and did pretty well) the last one was a bit of a dud - a lot of cheap stuff in it, but cheap stuff always sells.&nbsp; (In fact, I&#039;ve never quite understood why at these auctions someone will regularly pay a <i>strong</i> premium for cheap stuff, but refuses to buy quality stuff at a discount.)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The other 2/3 of the auction (the more expensive stuff) won&#039;t sell even with steep discounts on price guide values, most likely due to the auctioneer&#039;s buyer&#039;s premium (or maybe it&#039;s just material that that audience of people don&#039;t collect.)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t been able to visit any of the local coin shops, flea markets, or coin shows (all shut down for over a month) so I&#039;ve no idea how they are doing.&nbsp; It&#039;s a shame, because like your dealer friend says, you have to keep resupplying.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For the time being, I have enough stashed away to keep me busy at this pace for probably the rest of the year.&nbsp; After that...I&#039;ll need to figure something else out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
