LOL I should be so lucky! I sell duplicates of coins I've upgraded, so my sales are very occasional and normally make me back what I paid. If I'm lucky.
Quote:The fees are high. 12.9% +.3 is expensive, but try going to any flea market and getting as much publicity as
ebay has and lower fees.
You say high Bassmaster, but generally we don't know what dealers and coin shops are charging over purchase cost. I suspect in most cases it is more than the
ebay 15% or so.
And auction houses, well, most times a purchase will be 25% more than hammer (the price agreed in the auction room).
So for a very large marketplace,
ebay costs are reasonable, I think. Though not, I agree, compared to flea markets, car boot (yard) sales and the like!
