Do You Ever Do Craigslist Deals?

Not PM, but met a guy last night and bought 5 rolls of forever stamps. Sold this morning and made $50 profit. Many deal to be had. Just so many are drive across town to make $10-$20...not worth it. Once my family wanted to go get ice cream. I said hold on...looked on CL. Found an item on the way that was a deal. Turned out the seller was a customer of mine (had a store -closing in 2 weeks) and bought the item. Made $50 or so on it. Free ice cream!

Just did my best Craigslist deal ever!
13 grams of 14K gold and 3 grams of 18K gold, for $200!
The 14K includes 2 resalable wedding band rings.

I have sold cars and used appliances with no problems. I don't think I would do coins or precious metals. Just too many crazies out there.

Craigslist is a good way to go if you are SELLING US 90% silver. I have sold a total of about $40 face at 13.5 to 14 times in the last few weeks. I advertise as being 25% over melt, for GOOD QUALITY coins, and sometimes go down just a little from there. I also sold $10 face of decent looking Barber halves and Standing Liberty quarters for 15 times face. I have gotten maybe 6 inquiries, and sold some to 3 people, for more than I could have gotten at a LCS. It is now apparent to me that the quality of your 90% can make a real difference when you sell. I was always a choosy buyer of 90%, so I have lots of AU quarters, VF/EF Franklins etc.

On the buying side, I have bought about 30 grams of 14K gold, mostly scrap but some resalable, for about 60% of melt.

Craigslist is now almost equal to estate sales for me, in terms of deal hunting.

Yep, I meet at Starbucks.
