[QUOTE="GeorgeM, post: 1117868, member: 28550"]I'm sorry to hear about that! I'm thinking about selling a few silver medals that I purchased recently (1.2 ounce sterling) at a club auction and would appreciate any pointers you have. Do you think I would do well selling them individually or in sets of 2, 3, or 4? What start price would you recommend at a club auction? Are there any mistakes that you've seen sellers commit at these auctions? I've been to a couple of different clubs, and each one seems to have different levels of auction viability. At one club, no one seems to start the auctions at a reasonable level (or puts very high reserves) and almost no bidding seems to go on. At another, all of the items tend to be premium items (someone brought a slabbed 1909-S penny with a $1300 start price) with nothing for shallow pocketed bidders.[/QUOTE]
