[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3314649, member: 99642"]JK, I would NOT do that. That is the one guaranteed way to sell it for as little as possible. Doing that, it might even sell for 99 cents. JK, if you are not an established seller on eBay, if you do not have a following on eBay, if you do not know how to list and describe your coin in order to get the most attention and thus, the highest price for it, then the very WORST thing you could do is start it at 99 cents. Number 1 : Don't get in a hurry to sell if you want to maximize your return(profit). Your best option on eBay is to decide what price would you sell it outright quickly for? $500.00? Put it in a Buy It Now (BIN) for $500.00 with a Best Offer(BO) option. If you sell it for $500.00...Great ! If you don't, you will at least get some offers that will tell you about where the market for your coin actually is. If it doesn't sell, lower the BIN to $475.00 w/BO and do it again. Do that until you sell the coin and that way you will have maximized your potential. In your heading, list the year, the mint mark, the type of coin, the words SILVER and RARE. The listing heading is important because those are the TAGS that will bring possible buyers. Remember, with this coin you have a chance to make some good change. DO NOT GET IN A HURRY TO SELL.[/QUOTE]
