<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3247330, member: 78244&quot;]What I exploited was the fact that people could not read sub-par eBay pictures well, as well as poor listing titles, poor auction timing, and incorrect category listing. Raw coins with good pictures actually sold fairly decently. I sold most of my coins raw because most were not worth the effort of sending them in, and the ones I did send in no one wanted raw for anywhere near their value. This was because they wanted to flip the coins themselves, or because they only buy slabbed material.</p><p><br /></p><p>My BIN listings on eBay usually did just as good raw as slabbed for some reason. Must be my pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I did, and the answer I came to was that 1) people are cheap and use a coin’s raw state to justify a cheap offer, 2) most collectors don’t trust themselves enough to assign a grade, so they’d prefer to minimize their risk as much as possible, and 3) the introduction of the TPGs has turned the focus away from the coins and onto the holders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
