<p>[QUOTE="illini420, post: 927707, member: 19423"]I haven't consigned too much, but I know that when I consign something that is worth a bit I'm going to definitely make sure I check the timing of the actual auction and will insist that my coins aren't sold at 2 a.m. eastern time or during the middle of a big NFL playoff game or something like that... I'm sure that if you've followed some of the major auctions, you will know that many of them will run very late into the night and into the next morning. I definitely wouldn't want my coins selling while most folks are asleep or busy watching the big game. </p><p> </p><p>Also, if I was confident that my coins were nice looking for the grade and that the auction and lot viewing was going to be well attended then I would sell with no reserve if your goal is to sell the coins. That said, if I were to sell my stuff at auction today I'd most likely use a reserve because I'd rather keep many of them as a collector than to let them go too cheap at auction. Even though my view of too cheap may be too expensive in the real market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
