<p>[QUOTE="Ag76, post: 3429496, member: 100584"]I've sold some other stuff on the 'Bay over the years, mostly books and music, but this was my first time selling coins. I thought I had a strategy all figured out to get some good bids. Alas, it didn't work out that way. Because I offer free shipping on 2nd+ coins, one buyer nabbed an early coin and then grabbed lots of extra coins at below melt prices! I have to tip my hat to the guy's eBay skills despite my losses. I guess I was hoping that there would be more than one buyer competing for these coins, but I suppose you don't get that if you're not one of the big sellers and use only the 50 free listings.</p><p><br /></p><p>It's been a chastening experience. I still have a lot of coins I want to sell, but I may just sell them at next month's NH coin show for melt. The big sellers really have an advantage on eBay! And as a buyer, I guess I need to look out especially for the small sellers to buy from.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
