Well folks, Since errorfinder responded to my post, I will re-iterate-and give you a teaser so to speak. In the Month following my post above-that was in Mar,- during April I sold over 900.00 worth of coins on Yahoo auctions. Now this was for duplicates of Franklins, Buffalo nickels,Indian Head cents, an some Lincolns, Dimes- type coins, and yes- one gold coin that brought me 30.00 over my cost for that one coin. The re-list strategy of Yahoo is IMHO a fantastic device- because you can pre-set to relist as much as 5 times-so you relieve yourself of a lot of work. There are advantages believe me. ebay forces the collector to jack his price up in order to offset their listing fees and (FINAL VALUE) fees.On ebay, I do notice more and more sellers who take items on consignment-This may work for the seller of the consignor-so long as he made his acquisition 25 or 30 years previously and therefore is content with just anykind of a profit- (the seller can list it low?)and hopefully, it will bring to owner a good price- but-again, he is paying through the nose with listing fees and final value fees- well so much for ebay;' I sold a 35-S Peace dollar on ebay mailed today- it was a VF and the buyer got it for 13.50 plus 3.50 shipping. Well, it was a coin that I saved back in the 60's. I put back many silver dollars in the late 50's and early 60's at face value- So, it is in this way, that that a seller may consign his coins to a seller who specializes in taking on consignments.
