[QUOTE="AWORDCREATED, post: 1810577, member: 52245"]Try an experiment. ebay. Pick a decade. Lay 100 of them out on your scanner bed 10 x 10 obverse, flip, reverse. Start the auction at $1.15 plus calculated shipping (what it will actually cost, buyer's choice FCP, PS, PM [or whatever methods you use] plus a small handling fee to protect you from subsidizing shipping cost because of fees on shipping) Indicate that they get the coins shown in the scans, and that you have a boat load more of these and that they can purchase additional lots at the winning bid price (as many as they want up to your stock on hand - pick a number which is only a fraction of your stock and still fits in a USPS Small Flat Rate Box, or even choose some other size box) with substantial shipping discounts, say 'please request a quote for how many lots you might want'. Shipping coins gets very reasonable in large weights and flat rate boxes. So the bidding runs up to I dunno, 2 bucks, 3 bucks or whatever - the winner orders how many lots he wants at the discounted shipping you quoted him. Let us know how that goes and decide for yourself if you like the results. No risk to you, big potential to sell your coins at a good price. Good idea might be to keep the scanned coins separate in a labeled baggie to avoid any issues. No possible cost or loss to you. Lather rinse repeat (with new scans) :D[/QUOTE]
