I know eBay is full of crappy coin lots, and they're about to get a couple more. So I'm considering what might make for the best marketing strategy. 1. Do I leave them identified in flips? Or do I remove them from flips and sell them without identification since persons interested in low grade LRBs might want to learn through the identification process? 2. Is there any conventional wisdom about lot arrangement? Several lots of 5? A couple of lots of 10? One large lot of 25? I know I'm probably trying to make a decision that will yield $14.51 versus $12.32. But any wisdom from those of you who have done this sort of thing would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]
