I've been selling my panda gold coins with NGC/PCGS proof on some forums, but so far i've only sold two coins. And not more than five customers have asked me about my coins and prices. Is it because my coins are not valueble, popular or? I feel sad to have such a poor business on internet.
Yes, i always check those prices before i offer to my customers. But not many of them replied. And also, there are not many people pmed me to ask about the price, not even more than five until now. I'm really lost. Hope that there's someone can teach me how to attract more customers.
The problem with Pandas is that they have a less than sterling reputation in terms of being one of the most counterfeited coins ever produced. There are many good fakes out there, and as such, a lot of buyers are reluctant to jump into that pool. Even though yours are slabbed, and that lessens the chances of a fraudulent one, some have been good enough to fool TPGs. When I sold my gold last year, no one wanted to touch the Pandas, so those sold at spot with no premiums whatsoever. They are also expensive, relative to other bullion coins in their initial cost. pretty coins, though!
Nana, It could be what MD said, but I also think it may have to do with how long you have been here and your contribution to the forums so far. You just joined this website and got to 10 posts, then you immediately start to post in the "for sale" and "want to trade" sections some very expensive coins. I don't know you and you could be the most honest person in the world, but when you join a forum just to sell your stuff(what it looks like to me) and are in a country other than than the US, you are going to have a hard time selling anything. Especially after we have an ongoing issue with another member that, so far, has gotten a lot of money from forum members and not delivered any of the goods that have been paid for. I would suggest that if you are in dire need of money sell on Ebay, Webstore or one of the normal avenues to sell. I might also suggest that you post some background(Ebay profile, etc.) to help ease some of the fears to dealing with you. I would also suggest that you stick around and contribute to the forums to let people get to know you and get a feel for you and then try to sell here again. I know for me, that I will not buy from someone that joins the forum, gets to the required post count and then starts to post stuff for sale, I will deal with people that have been around and contributed for an extended period of time so I get a feel for who they are and what kind of person I believe them to be. It is not a fail-safe solution, but it is the only solution that I will work with. This is not at all intended to run you away from the forum, but to help you become a good member around here and.... well, you asked. PS - I will say that if you are here with the intent of "scamming" people, then you do need to leave. I hope that's not the case and you stick around and share your experiences and knowledge of this wonderful hobby with us.
I think your problem is people are skeptic to wire money to maylasia. sorry i didnt mean to reply to pacecar
Panda's are currently most popular bullions' but in this day age it is extremely risky to trade online with no safe guards. Besides' even if you ship items, buying from foreign dealer especially in Asia is not without risk due to customs and shipment getting lost. You should have no problems finding buyers in your home country? Not sure on Malaysia but i know of plenty of people in Singapore who are interested in Pandas and buy them from local dealers.
