Tried eCrater a couple of years back but there just wasn't any traffic. With a store and top-rated seller status the ebay fees drop down to 4.8%. Although you do have to pay the additional monthly store fee of course. |

Also been playing with the idea of making a specific site where people could sell their coins without all the Posting/Selling fees You know you can already do this on our lovely forum?

I sell on ebay, but I'm getting insulting prices for coins when I list them in auction format. It's a buyers market from what I'm seeing. |

I don't have an answer. I do know as an occasional seller that: ebay is very expensive, local coins shows are very hit and miss (where are the young collectors?), and finally, any premium coin is NOT going to get the best price on ebay, as just too many collectors want to see the coin in hand. At Christmas, certain family members get coins for presents. Whether they like them or not....kicks that selling idea down a generation. |

I have never nor will I ever use ebay. I don't sell many coins (probably less than 100) but when I do, I use Kijiji. This way I can give the buyer the coins personally and get the cash in hand. I have also have purchased many of my Silver & Gold coins through Kijiji with no problems. Living in the middle of the Golden Horseshoe probably helps as I am within easy driving distance of over 5 million people. |

I use ebay but am sometimes sad by the fees and the auction prices. It seems like some sellers (probably just because they are the bigger sellers) get outrageous prices on their auctions but for mine for the same coin get a lot less. But, with the store sub it is a little cheaper and I would get better prices there than selling anywhere in person around me. I have also done a few here on CCF, but seems not too many people are into what I mostly sell (junk silver 40%). |

Well I checked out eCrater and its close to what I want... I think I may just expand my old website to include a store and see how it goes. Thanks for all the comments :)

I have an internationally recognised numismatic dealer and auctioneer, who wants to take the whole of my collection, for public auction.
A lot of items in my collection would be valued at a lot less than $10 each. In the case of these coins, they would be grouped together to make up lots of an estimated value of around $200-$300 per lot.
The more valuable items would be listed individually, or in a smaller number of items per lot.
