<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor, post: 185299, member: 5454&quot;]I buy and sell on ebay.&nbsp; I kind of have a love/hate philosophy about it.&nbsp; The good thing is that your auctions get a lot of hits (exposure).&nbsp; The bad of course is their fees, which are going up at the end of the month.</p><p>I am lucky that so far I have received every coin I won and the buyers have received every coin I shipped.</p><p>I did get one damaged coin that I bought.&nbsp; A silver eagle that probably was run through a postage machine.</p><p>Another silver eagle had some bad tarnish on the reverse that was not shown in the pictures.</p><p>Whatever.&nbsp; I find I can buy on ebay for less than most dealers charge.&nbsp; Also it usually beats the prices I see at the local coin shows.&nbsp; And that includes the shipping charge.</p><p><br /></p><p>I registered and listed coins on coinbiz but nothing sold and it seems like a stagnant site.</p><p>So I&#039;m using ebay due to the sheer volume of potential buyers and also because I can easily find what I want to buy.</p><p>The problem comes when I want to sell a cheap coin.&nbsp; Let&#039;s use a common date AU&nbsp; Kennedy half dollar.</p><p>I can only ask about 99 cents for these.&nbsp; Well the ebay listing fee is 35 cents, the final value fee is a few cents and if it doesn&#039;t sell I am stuck with a fee.&nbsp; So the coin cost me 50 cents to begin with.</p><p>What is the gain?&nbsp; Only to reduce inventory and maybe build up my positive feedback, that&#039;s it.</p><p><br /></p><p>And again I must ask you all, why don&#039;t more people use the open forum here on coin talk?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
