<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NPCoin, post: 404058, member: 5629&quot;]What about it?&nbsp;&nbsp; If the seller wants to sell something for a specific price or at a starting price in an auction that is well below the &quot;value&quot; or &quot;worth&quot; of the item, then so be it.&nbsp; Otherwise they can set their reserves, up their prices, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I purposefully put &quot;junk&quot; silver on eBay at times below melt on purpose...with Buy It Now!&nbsp; I also put &quot;junk&quot; silver on forums like CoinTalk here also, below melt (though have rarely sold it on forums because most people want to pay below 1/2 melt for &quot;junk&quot;).&nbsp; You can take your &quot;junk&quot; silver to a dealer and get considerably below melt for it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Does that mean that I am being screwed over because I sell a roll of &quot;junk&quot; 1964 Kennedys for 85% melt, with a gem hiding inside?&nbsp; Or that the dealers should be ashamed of themselves for offering 10% below melt for a bag of &quot;junk&quot; 90% halves? Or that a seller on eBay is stupid or ignorant because they get below face value for something?</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course not!&nbsp; Like I said, I place the price sometimes well below because I get it for well below.&nbsp; Could I get more for it?&nbsp; Of course I can!&nbsp; But, if I have already made a considerable markup on the sale and can make it possible for a speculator to make a small profit in the process, I will cut my margin.&nbsp; Not only does this give me a good reputation, but I am able to turn my own vested interest around more quickly, making that money work harder for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>More often than one would imagine, people know exactly what they are doing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
