<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 1932465, member: 31620&quot;]I have attempted to sell some coins on Forvm auctions. The biggest problem there is that there is not enough traffic to make it worthwhile for a seller. This might be fine for those people who are looking to pick up a bargain but the sellers are likely to take a real bath.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I will give an example. The following is a coin of Postumus that I auctioned there last month. It made the princely sum of $4.50 which is significantly less that I paid for it. I auctioned over 30 coins and made a significant loss on each and every one with many coins selling for $0.99.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/auction/APUserImages/U809F1LNXFPONT.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/auction/APUserImages/U809F2NXCVOGUY.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I don&#039;t think that you can blame a seller as being inconvenient just because you are based in the U.S. This is as inconvenient for the rest of the world that some dealers are in the U.S.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To try and make the shipping from Europe less &quot;inconvenient&quot;, since I like in the U.K., I posted the coins I sold worldwide for a combined $5 shipping cost and actually made a loss on the postage alone let alone taking into account packaging etc.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As with so many of these venues unless there are buyers it is difficult to attract sellers because the prices realised remain too low. This only leaves places such as ebay.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Reciprocal rant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
