<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 1867995, member: 36248&quot;]Interesting question, and I don&#039;t have an answer for you yet.&nbsp; &nbsp; I am mostly only buying cheap coins, and the cost for CAC is around $15 per coin with shipping and insurance&nbsp; both ways, assuming you send 20 coins at once.&nbsp; &nbsp; (My exact cost was $300 for 20 coins).</p><p><br /></p><p>On the particular coin, I paid $35 shipped + $15 CAC is $50, with fees from eBay and Paypal and shipping, my breakeven is around $58.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Full retail with coin is $60, but obviously they can be had cheaper.&nbsp; I think that with the NGC Fatty and a CAC, I can sell for a $10 premium for a nice coin with attractive toning, or $70.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, perhaps this coin has to sit in my store a few month, or perhaps not.&nbsp;&nbsp; I will certainly keep everyone here posted on my &quot;little adventure&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>The few reason I am trying this at all are:</p><p><br /></p><p>(1) I collect CAC Type coins, and its getting harder for me to find the coins I want without an insane premium.</p><p>(2) There are a ton of expensive coins with CAC stickers, but not so many under $100, which is where I buy a lot of material.&nbsp;&nbsp; I figure I can try and fill this gap.</p><p>(3) I am starting with nice cheap coins, since this is just testing the waters.&nbsp;&nbsp; I can find lots of nice cheap coins that most likely have never been sent to CAC (probably becuase no one else is dumb enough)</p><p>(4) If I fail, I will unload the coins at ~breakeven, even if it takes me months.&nbsp;&nbsp; I figure I may only lose a little money and a lot of time.&nbsp;&nbsp; I am looking at coins all day long already anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
