<p>[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 342057, member: 1242"]Most Gold Nuggets will sell from anywhere from 10% to 25% or more above their' actual Gold value on eBay! Their' size (length and width), weight (preferrably in grams or ounces), fineness, uniqueness and super clear and close-up pictures will factor in to what they actually fetch at Auction. Really nice and unique looking Nuggets will fetch much more than run of the mill...ugly and/or plain looking Nuggets. The larger the Nugget, the higher the X (times) factor becomes! In other words, nice looking 1/2 to 1 ounce Nuggets may bring twice (2 times) ther' actual Gold value, while 5 ounce or larger Nuggets may bring 5 times+ their' actual Gold value. Don't get discouraged because your' Gold Nuggets are fairly small. Get a Digital Camera that will take extreme close-up and in-focus pictures of small Nuggets that makes them look as big as houses. In this way, even though they are small, the buyer/bidder can see all of the details and features of a Nugget or Nuggets. I have a Gold Prospecting friend that sells Gold Nuggets on eBay from time to time and he can usually get one and a half times to nearly two times the actual Gold value for a one gram Gold Nugget because of the extreme close-up and in-focus pictures that he includes in the Auction listing! He uses an older C-7000 Olympus Digital Camera that is only 4.0 mega-pixels but it can take pictures as close a 2 cm from a small object in Macro mode and that is without the aid of any magnifying glasses or Gem Loupes. You might want to check out some of the Auctions for Gold Nuggets on eBay...especially the closed Auctions and see what works for the more successful Sellers.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck...Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
