<p>[QUOTE="jloring, post: 1668262, member: 15518"]A recent thread on failing to make money on eBay transactions piqued my interest, so I decided to do a little experiment. I paid a vist to my LCS, picked up three low grade SLQ's (and one had damage to the reverse, which I highlighted in my description) for $6.25 each. That's about a dollar over melt. I listed them as a single lot on eBay, with a $5 opening bid and free shipping. Here are the coins:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i638.photobucket.com/albums/uu104/jloring764/SLQLOT1o_zpsb18f4bff.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i638.photobucket.com/albums/uu104/jloring764/SLQLOT1r_zps94513a18.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My $18.75 investment sold for $39.00.
