<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 6327148, member: 19463"]It seem there are three things that will guarantee failure when trying to sell something (coins included). First is overpricing mediocre coins as if they were good ones. Second is not being known to enough people who might buy coins to guarantee a market. Third is treating people badly (poor correspondence, high shipping charges, slow service). All these features have been mentioned above. The question now is whether the OP here is as happy when the coin arrives or if he joins the people who have better places to spend their money. I had not heard of BAC. After reading this thread, should I want to? I have enough mediocre coins which I would be happy to sell but experience shows that mediocre coins do not sell well unless you convince beginners that things over a thousand years old have to look 'that way'. I would make a lousy coin dealer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
