That was one sixth of the total transaction Mac. I had no idea it was that expensive. No wonder that California woman running for office could afford to pay 100 million dollars+ of her own money for her campaign. Oh, once upon a time, she was the CEO of ebay. |

My feeling is that common Buffalo nickels, wheats , Indian Head cents and related is becoming more plentiful on the market and things are softening a little, plus the fact that the economy is causing people to buy less. Wait another month or so and things should pick up for the holidays. |

I agree that slightly better pics would help, and all Caps titles seem to attract more buyers. Also, having a specific background color for individual coins might help, i.e black or white for all coins.

Personally my guess is the wording "Earlier/better dates will often come with partial or weak dates", I think cynical buyers, used to rip-off artists (given how many there are), expect most of them to be weak/partial in the lot. I advise selling them in separate groups - full date ones where the listing clearly says !!FULL DATE!! as emphatically as you can, and another that emphasizes earlier/better dates (and makes clear they'll be partials).

Shadow, you need better/more pictures. Like someone else mentioned, you are only showing a few on top and I see no real nice date examples. Also, make sure there is variety in your pics. They almost look like "stock" photos, and lots of buyers will be skeptical since folks will show some nice coins and you will end up getting junk with what you don't see. Try to list all dates as well for those looking to fill specific holes. I know it's 100 coins, so maybe trim it down to 50 and show obverse and reverse of all coins. A variety will help those folks looking to start an album or a YN.
Make sure your titles include US coin, buffalo head, nickel, five cent, etc to capture the largest search audience.
Just my opinion of course.

Thanks for the advice, guys. Now, after spending hours while sick hand selecting each lot to include 35+ full dates because the batch was not up to the quality I remembered, I have a few of these chumps complaining after they paid $28 with free priority shipping for 100 coins.

I got ANOTHER unfair negative one from of these lots. I offered to refund or even send a free coin. Nope, no response, just a neg. Looked the person up and its some stupid college kid who sells SGS slabs...

Sorry, but there's no way ebay will remove it. He is, however, incredibly dumb. Leaving unwarranted negs like that with his seller account and selling cheap stuff.  |

I'll just see if I can have it removed another way....
I can't afford to get nonsense negs...especially since I'm planning to make this into a business.
What's amazing is I actually explained to the buyer that I hand checked each lot while sick to make sure my buyers were satisfied, and they still leave a neg?
The person is actually a girl...some dumb college girl who obviously has no conscience whatsoever.

The buyer says they never received my email, which I think is a load of nonsense since they emailed me on that account.

Evidently you managed to get the buyer to revise the feedback? It now reads "ok." and " Feedback was revised on Oct-03-10 13:02"

Haha, I bid on some of their junk. I think they got scared on being negged in revenge. I never even gave them feedback, though. Only way to do it.
