<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2485156, member: 36230&quot;]I do believe it is closer to 15% for one without a store, but could be somewhat off on this number.</p><p><br /></p><p>The real problem may less be the fees than his selling history. Look at how people react oh so skeptically to newer or lower volume sellers on this very board. Right or wrong (wrong), it is something he&#039;s going to have to deal with, and this is in addition to the increased likelihood of someone trying to prey on a new seller. It&#039;s one thing to start smaller, with lower value items/coins, but to start with something like this could be like cutting off his nose to spite his face. Any dealer willing to only pay 50% of the coins realistic value isn&#039;t worth his time or effort, but not all are like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>---</p><p><br /></p><p>I would also be very skeptical of not so sly self consignment promotions. Nothing against anyone, but you&#039;d be wise to search out the right person to sell for you, perhaps with real world collector-direct connections as opposed to an ebay hawker, where you&#039;re going to pay fees on top of consignment fees, extra shipping fees (if sending first to them), paypal fees, etc. A real world dealer may very well be able to place at least a few of his coins with only a phone call or two, and a decent one would do so without charging an arm and a leg. Far too many knock dealers, but the right one (and yes, I do realize they&#039;re not always easy to find) can offer benefits above and beyond what straight or assumed vs. ebay numbers may suggest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
