[QUOTE="Juan Blanco, post: 1627494, member: 41665"]Selling? No, POS @ 31.40 I see most auctions SOLD @ ~1.75-1.90 ; so >$2. is OPTIMISTIC and therefore [I]wishful [/I]not reasonable estimation (unless UNC/BU) [B] Don't forget the feeBay bite (13%) [/B]- a [I]reasonable [/I]Seller's net after all costs & includ s/h was [B]$1.50[/B] I know I did the math, you can too. The market is what the market is ... not what you [I]want [/I]it to be. Yes I know it's pennies here but see what's happening? BURNED. If someone bought a $4 junk War Nickel @ $31.50, s/he needs to SELL @ $4.55 on feeBay [I]just to break even[/I]. That means: a) find a Greater Fool, b) Sell at the normal mkt rate and [B]eat the loss, [/B]or c) hope & pray for a HUGE POS advance to Sell @ the same/current 'good melt rate' (above) [B][I]At the typical rate[/I] (c) & to break-even, the guy who just overpaid 126% (above) finds a[I] likely buyer [/I]@ $4.55 per coin when POS @ $80. [/B]OUCH! Of course it's true uninformed buyers pay more for singles more often, and[I] if POS goes over $45.
