I wish there were better places where you could sell your coins online rather then getting bent over by ebay and paypal... Who's down to invest/start a official new website for selling/buying coins online haha |

There are other sites you can use to list that are cheaper. ecrater etc. However if you want the audience and the buyer/seller protection (more buyer than seller but that's a separate discussion) then you have to pay for it.

p.s. Most NCLT's DON'T appreciate in value above issue price. If you bought for issue price and get most of your money back when you sell them then count yourself lucky. There are exceptions to the rule but they are EXCEPTIONS so don't count on it.

@bmxboy: I was trying to get around $135-140 for my Two Loons coins. When I tried contacting Colonial Acres, they would only buy 1 from me at only $120 ($10 over issue price). I tried Kijiji after that, but I only got one buyer who wanted two coins. He's paying $135 per coin. However, I still have a lot to sell and it seems like Kijiji can be a slow waiting game sometimes... Sometimes I get replies, but then the person doesn't reply when I reply or it never gets to the stage where we coordinate the meeting time and place. I also get ridiculous replies sometimes on Kijiji. I would try ebay, but it seems like a lot of people don't make much of a profit after all the fees...from what I've read. |

@ksimms3:
I agree. I wish there were more online options. I wish I could sell on here, but I don't have enough posts yet... I'm working on it.

I've tried looking at ebay before, but I haven't tried selling any of my coins there yet because of all the fees and the scams I've read about. I've also gotten ridiculous replies on Kijiji before, so I find it a little frustrating to use too. |

$120 and you have to ship it to them as well? Kijiji is good if you have patient and if you live in a big city. You have to deal with idiots and people low balling your offer or spam you with ridiculous offer. You may finally found someone that agree to buy from the item and then change their mind in the last minute or don't bother to show up. Off course the good thing if you finally make a sale is that you don't have to pay any fees and you make full profit from your sales. I personally prefer selling on ebay. Yes, there's a 13% fee ( ebay and Paypal) but once you make the sale, for the most part, it is done and over with. That being sad, I seen people get scam on ebay as well and you have to pick items that you know could get more than 13% return or else you are selling at a lost. For example, the Two loons, for those that sold them on ebay for less than $120, chances are, they are loosing money. Only way they don't loose money on that is if they are top seller and get discount on listing or final price. |

The reason why you can't sell your Two Loons on ebay at $140-$150 is because it is currently being sold for $120ish. Unfortunately, that is the current market value based on ebay. I don't know where you are going to get more than $120 for it now. |

Thanks for members that gave me precious advices back to few months ago.
I only buy the NCLT coins that I really like and enjoy. Maybe buy 1-2 extra to share with friends. Mostly I invest in bullions, easy sale back at spot price when need.
So I don't need to worry about where to selling them.
Selling things on Kijiji are nightmare. When my GF try to sell her Gucci purse on there, she got a lot of lowball offers, a lot of troller on there.

Ah. That's interesting. I based my prices on the Kijiji prices for the Two Loons coins...which are around $140 at the moment.

It's unfortunate that the Mint only shipped my Two Loons coins now...since it seemed like the hype was back then. I think it'll be harder for me to sell them now. The Mint is so unpredictable. I've been getting most of my recent orders right away now...but I still have orders from months and months ago. Ug.

I learned my lession on kijiji. Always priced it $20 or $30 more than what you want because people always bargain it down. You need some wiggle room for that. No one like to pay full price.

I remember someone on kijiji offered me 140$ for my lady bug a couple months ago.
I had a good laugh

The best one I had on kijiji so far was someone offered me a used bb for my 2 loons. The next best one was someone offering me $100 for my 2 loons when I was asking for $170

I would sell my coins on Chinese biggest b2c+c2c platform "taobao.com" if I could. Saw some pre-ordered two loons sold for approx.180$cad. Taobao.com does not charge any fee to c2c, but the point is, precious metals are on the import prohibition list of China plus unreliable postal service there...sigh
