Whoa! Nice set cowboy, Please read the rules of this forum, you would need 250 post in order to sell, but if you're in a hurry I would sell it @ greatcollection.com. Other may prefer ebay or other venue. |

Send it in to ANACS and keep it.
You wont get enough to start a business that you could not get from a small business loan. As mentioned, sell the other stuff first.

 and sorry to hear about your loss. What an amazing set!   with the above... Sell the over stuff and keep the rarities... Quality over quantity. This is an amazing set, not easily replaced and that will appreciate in value.. This was most definitely one of your gramps prized items (out of his coins), kinda neat to keep even if coins arn't your thing.. It'd be like selling his prized corvette. He was smart enough to feel this set would appreciate in value and be quite sought after... Smart man. Just to be able to tell your grandkids that this set was one of your grandfathers favorite possessions.. That would trump the money for me, and in reality how far is $5000 really gonna go into starting your business? Worth selling something that meant alot to him? But to each his own, totally your choice. |

I don't got the money to buy it..  Anyway, you need 250 post to sell on CCF. But if you list it on ebay you can post the link here on CCF I believe  ebay charges 15% to sell. This includes paypal. |

I wish I had the $ too , well if you had the the posts that is... Stick around and post away.. Maybe by the time your done you won't want to part with it, lol.. Might catch the collecting bug. And I for one would love to see what else he had in his collection. And it'll give me time to save up  But anyways, I wanted to apologize, re-reading my prior post it sounded kinda bossy and opinionated.. It's your set and you shouldn't feel any pressure from anyone regarding what you should do with it. I guess it's just a bit hard from a collectors point of view.. My original collection was also my gramps before me... He got me into collecting in the first place... And while not a "cheap" collection in the least your gramps one set almost out values it. And even money aside its an extremely sought after set, not enough to go around. And most of us (collectors) would give a right leg to inherit this, so it's "difficult" to see someone eager (for lack of a better word) to sell it. But obviously being collectors we view it differently than yourself. So again, I'm not sure if that totally makes sense but I wanted to apologize as I realize that being a collector my opinion may be... Swayed.. So sell away and I wish you the best with your business! |

No Harm done. I will be keeping all the circulated 90% silver he had because it could hold its value if the dollar ever collapses. I was wondering how the 15% ebay and Paypal estimate was derived? I looked into it because a ungraded set recently sold for $7,250. I went to the ebay calculator using a 7 day auction starting price as $7250. ebay calculated that the most it would take is $250. It said no matter how high the selling price, they would only take $250. And paypal takes 2.9%. Which is about $218. That plus the eBays $250 is $468 total fees. Where is my calculation wrong please? :) |

Paypal is 5%
So 7250 = 362 + 250 = 602.
Now shipping is like 40 dollars.
You should do one day delivery.

PayPal is 30 cents plus 2.9% of the final selling price and 2.9% of what is charged for shipping.

I guess I am wrong.
I don't understand though... I was positive it's 5% (after rounded off)

Maybe palPal lowered its fee at some point solotime? Thanks for clarification all. I just wanted to make sure I wasnt missing something, so I can price it accordingly.

Just wonder if the guy at the brick and mortar coin shop is offering $5,500 for it and he is looking to sell it then he has to price it at point to make it worth his time and effort since that is a bit of cash to be locked up in a set, so he must have feeling he can indeed sell the set again. ebay might give realize you more money but it can be minefield since I have read stories on CCF about problems folks had selling coins. There is another avenue that you could consider and it costs only an email with no commitment to start the process. http://www.coincommunity.com/coin_consignment/ - lists all of the details. So you might want to consider reading out to forum Mom and Dad about selling the coin set for you. Ken |

Sound like the dealer is doing the usually 70-80% I gotta make a living excuse. To many episodes of pawn stars.... I would keep it otherwise if not I would decide what I would want for it because thats the true value anyway. Then grab the phone and find awesome reputable fair dealers and go from there.. The amount of guys here who want it is just a small idea of how exciting and hard to find this set is. Sorry for your grampa and welcome to the awesome forum!
