<p>[QUOTE="jloring, post: 1543046, member: 15518"]I'm not a novice seller on eBay (first sale in 1998), but only recently began selling coins. What I've been doing is weeding out some of my lower grade stuff, and selling it in small lots. I've sold perhaps a dozen lots (of four coins) of mixed Barbers... a half, quarter, dime and V-nickel. All have sold, in prices ranging from $22 to $40. I've included good photos in the auctions, accurate description (circulated/previously cleaned) and all are common dates. Well, recently one auction sold for considerably more than the others... $86.00 for the four low grade, common coins. The buyer paid immediately with PayPal. I feel somewhat guilty for accepting that much money for four coins that are worth basically melt (the V-nickel at best is worth fifty cents). My question is: should I let the buyer know he paid way too much, and perhaps offer him a few more coins for free, a partial refund, or maybe credit for another auction? Or should I let it slide as just another "bid-idiot" (or whatever you guys call them)?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
