<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2128827, member: 19463&quot;]We all have a number below which we feel good and above which we feel used.&nbsp; I don&#039;t pay 10% for plastic boxes but I understand why some do.&nbsp;&nbsp; Big sellers that have a minimum charge to list a consignment are basically saying that they do not sell coins below that amount because it is not worth their time.&nbsp; I&#039;m not a seller but I feel the same way.&nbsp; I don&#039;t feel it is worth my while to write up, post, promote and follow up on coins of the value most of what I have as surplus would be fairly worth.&nbsp; Some on eBay meet this situation by listing $10 coins for $100 figuring someone might be stupid enough to buy it.&nbsp; I see no value in this practice because I would have trouble keeping a straight face.&nbsp; I know dealers who rarely have coins under $300 but have reasonably fair prices for their better items.&nbsp;&nbsp; I could put together a group of assorted coins for, say, $100 and feel maybe it was worth my effort but how many of you really want to buy a blind group of 10 coins for $100?&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t.&nbsp; This is why I like coin shows better than mail order.&nbsp; The dealer makes more at a show than the post office.&nbsp; I like dealers to make a profit (reasonable) so they are encouraged to get more coins for me to buy.&nbsp; I can&#039;t really entertain such warm feelings about the post office.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
