<p>[QUOTE="Long Beard, post: 4087466, member: 108674"]I have been buying on EBAY for many years. What strikes me as strange is one particular seller who continually lists the same coins over long periods of time. Not just a few, but a minimum of 36 per day. How I do I know this? From that first sentence. More than I should, I suppose. Anyhow, since EBAY charges listing fees each time an item is posted, at what point does those fees exceed a profit? Sure, from the very high feedback, they are selling, but I would think that "profit" barely reaches the cost of the coin in which they had to buy for resale. Factor in shipping expense, packaging and time, I simply don't see how this makes much sense. Most of the coins in question are under $25.00. While their other auctions may sell at a higher profit, this becomes reduced by the shear number of those which break even at best. My guess would be is not their full time business.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
