<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 26149884, member: 104064"]If it came time to sell the coins I've accumulated during adulthood (I'll never sell grandpa's coins), I would consign them to GC or similar and let them handle it. $1 opening bids wouldn't scare me, because there's enough traffic that I think on average they would all get around market value minus BP. I would just be cashing out for whatever I could get and not worry about it. It was all discretionary spending anyway. If the goal is to "make money", that's a different story of course. But I've seen some of the same minimum bid coins pop up week after week and nobody bids. Same with BIN on ebay. If you can afford to let it sit, that's fine. Similar things apply to real estate. If you list at a pie-in-the-sky price, it sits, then you do a "price reduced" update and it still sits, because buyers have already seen it and have been turned off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
