[QUOTE="ddddd, post: 4937429, member: 22377"]Here's a random idea I've contemplated and wanted to see what others thought. Would you be in favor of price transparency when you see coins for sale? For example, I list coin XYZ for $100. Then I break it out for you: Coin acquisition: $75 (from auction company abc) Shipping cost: $3.50 (first class mail) Supplies: $0.50 (envelope & tape) Labor: $7 (estimate of time spent photographing, listing, packing, driving to post office) ---------- Total: $86 Profit: $14 If a seller provided that information, would it impact your decision at all? Would you appreciate the openness? Would you question the motives? Would it put a seller at an advantage, a disadvantage, or not impact them at all compared to other sellers? Would it make it harder to have a larger profit margin? Please share your thoughts.[/QUOTE]
