[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 6823, member: 487"]Thank you all for the info. I appreciate all of your thoughts and opinions. Now Jody has made a good point. I also understand the rest of the opinions, but what do you do with the regular dates and issues? Is it really cost effective to sell a $3 coin on Ebay? I will give an example, say you have a complete Lincoln Wheat set. Without the plain 22 or 55DDO in Good or better. You could sell the keys anyplace and make 500 or maybe 550. So what do you do with all the other coins. Now granted, the dealer bid of $625 is based off of the same four coins. 09 SVDB, 09 S, 14 D, 31 S. But an extra amount if figured for the remaining coins. Now a few of you stated that it is hard for the dealer, having to buy at levels lower than the selling price. I view this from the other side. Knowing exactly how hard it is to sell common coins, why collectors try to do it on their own. I have heard many times over the years that Ebay is such a good place to find deals. If this is true, how do you make money selling your coins in this way? I don't hear many collectors stating that the local coin shop is offering coins at a great deal. Thank you all for your answers. I really do appreciate them. As you can tell, after being a dealer for so long, sometimes it is tough to see the view of the collector. So I am trying to learn this.[/QUOTE]
