<p>[QUOTE="itsallngoodtime, post: 677454, member: 19446"]Well as that may be true in most cases, I try to sell coins sometimes on ebay at a fair market value which is almost always lower then book value and let them grade it because what one person may see another may see it another way and guess what they don't sell. But you can bet that if I would put it on there for a very low starting bid I will almost always lose money, so why bother. It works both ways for sellers on ebay that try to sell nice grade coins that aren't slabed it's a big risk for them to. Not all sellers on ebay are rip offs, but they still get ripped off themselfs sometimes. Some of us are just trying to help people find some nice coins there looking for. Believe it or not I even get griped at for $2.00 shipping because I use bubble wrap mailers that cost me .44 cents and then there's a little thing called postage charge of $1.41 so after all that and paper and ink I'm not making any money off shipping, but I see people buy coins all the time with $4.95 and higher shipping whats up with that? Oh I forgot just like the coin shop you go to if your now happy I hope they will refund your money well if your not happy ebay will refund your money even if the seller won't.</p><p>Bob[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
