Domain555 I was simply making a sarcastic remark about the fact that I enjoy collecting Ikes and can't remember ever selling any of mine though I am sure at some point when I upgrade some I will. Merc .... I have a limit to the total coins I can afford. I can not support $10,000 ikes. soooooooo... I hoard the good stuff spend the crud sell selected coins were I have MANY in that area, like TONED Then get the next $1,000 ... to search for SILVER, and errors etc. Best hobby I ever had. Buy it at face Finding .999 .90 .40 is a THRILL! |

I can not support $10,000 ices. Who doesn't have a limit to what they can afford? I think you greatly over-estimate how much I spend on my coins, not that that really matters. I would love to be able to get $1,000 bags of Ikes at face to search but have yet to be able to find a source willing to provide them to me. What ebay ID do you sell under? You may find something I would be interested in buying. |

You may find something I would be interested in buying. I got cut down by the moderator ... for only saying I would like to own "something like THAT." Best for both of us (me) to wait until I have the sell buy privileges, on this site. Best not to give my ID on ebay. As far as ebay is concerned, just ebay google the items you are looking for. Like ... something something Eisenhower Ike etc etc. If anyone is selling, You will find it. |

Finding .999 .90 .40 is a THRILL! Curious how you are finding .999 for face? The 90% and 40% I can see, but I don't recall any country issuing .999 for circulation...correct me if I am wrong. -MV |

People use all forms of payment for purchases through CCF. Personally, I have used personal check and PayPal Gift. As for the ebay ID, I wouldn't worry about getting in trouble for sharing it, there is a whole section of the forum dedicated to just that. Most of us prefer to buy and sell from people we are familiar with and buying from community members is a great way to accomplish that. http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...er_sales.asp |

We don't charge for commerce on our site. Any fees are directly related to the payment method. |

I've heard a tobacco store clerk has brought ASEs to sell at the LCS a couple of times. I guess the PM dealers were closed when someone ran out.

I really like the idea of being in a nice group of coin persons ... and cut out the 13% when you use paypal-ebay. You can make better deals, when the juice (spread) is zero or close to zero. I guess in the correct amount of time (and posts) I will become a qualified buyer, seller, trader. For now, I prefer to keep my ebay separate from CCF. |

You can get them on ebay but....... paypal, fees ebay, fees signature, fees insurance, fees shipping fees HANDLING fees ....limits the deal for a better than brake even profit. May I please say this .... I will make more profit (or joy of ownership) on my errors that the .40, -- .90, -- .999. The kick is knowing (believing-thinking) better-bigger collectors had their eyes on 'em, and put then in a bye bye bucket. Lamination, Cuds, toning, RAILROADS, break through, are sometime hard to spot, ....wnen all you are looking for is ..... MS69+ |
