<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TaborTot22, post: 1885823, member: 39398&quot;]For about a week, I posted a BU Roll of 1964 Kennedy Halves for sale on the For Sale section of CoinTalk.&nbsp; I asked $200.&nbsp; Yes, that is over spot but for BU condition 1964 Kennedy&#039;s, I didn&#039;t think $10 per coin was asking a lot.&nbsp; However, I had absolutely no inquiries regarding the roll from CT members.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So, I pulled the ad and put the coins on Ebay as a Buy-It-Now or Best Offer for $260.&nbsp; I had some offers of $160, $200 and $220.&nbsp; However, I declined.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>After about a week on this format, I switched to the Auction format with a starting bid of $0.99 and a Buy It Now for $249.00 with No Reserve.&nbsp; Dangerous but silver usually balances out at the end.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The auction ended today and with 60 seconds to go, the bid was at $222.50.&nbsp; I had 19 watchers so I expected the bids to increase but some by the end of the auction.&nbsp; However, it jumped a lot.&nbsp; I was quite surprised at the final result of the auction.&nbsp; $355.90. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the link to the item:&nbsp; </p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/111297301793?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&amp;_trksid=p3984.m1559.l2649" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/111297301793?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&amp;_trksid=p3984.m1559.l2649" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/111297301793?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&amp;_trksid=p3984.m1559.l2649</a></p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, the buyer has already paid via PayPal.&nbsp; I spent $12 on postage/insurance/signature confirmation to make sure that it arrives there.&nbsp; Taking away Ebay &amp; PayPal fees as well as shipping costs, I averaged $14.88 per coin.&nbsp; About double spot.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Did I miss something with these coins?&nbsp; Did someone just really want them?&nbsp; Any insight would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
