westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 01/25/2012 03:02 am I signed up last year when a few auctions looked promising, but everyone I've watched has gone for stupid, crazy high prices, maybe people are thinking it's for charity, but I doubt it. http://www.shopgoodwill.com/ Wish I could get prices like they do when I sell low end coins, silver seems to go for 25-40 times face, junk coins go for 20-50 times what I consider fair prices. Anybody else used goodwill auction site? "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

numismaniac Valued Member United States 361 Posts	Posted 01/25/2012 10:25 am I am confused. Who is selling these coins? I just took a quick peek and can't believe what some of the "junk" silver is selling for. I wonder if anyone can sell on this site? Report this Post to the Staff
mmorgan22 Pillar of the Community United States 570 Posts	Posted 01/25/2012 10:29 am I noticed that there prices were high as well. For the lots that I have seen, I think people think they are unsearched and will find a hidden gem in there, but the pictures of the lot show it all. I have also seen lots on ebay from state treasuries go for more money then they should. Report this Post to the Staff

This coin here I can get at the local coin shop for $24-$25 as a retail customer. http://www.shopgoodwill.com/auction...9267537.html Are people trying to be generous because it's Goodwill or are they just ignorant? Wow... Report this Post to the Staff
EarlB Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 01/25/2012 11:41 am I'm guessing based on what it says in the About section that people are paying premiums because the money goes directly to the Goodwill nonprofit. Individuals don't sell there. It's all stuff that was donated to participating goodwill stores accross the country. At least that's what it SAYS! :) I wonder if some people think the higher price is a "donation" and try to deduct it? That wouldn't be an option I'd think since you are receiving goods for said "donaition". Earl Edited by EarlB 01/25/2012 11:46 am Report this Post to the Staff
