Hello,

soon I'm getting married so I'm selling all my coins which I'm not interested any more.

I put coins on ebay, but for some rare coins there is no interest:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/18108869341....m1555.l2649

Like this rare Denmark coin, only few views per week.

And I put some rare king Otto 5 lepta coins low below catalog price, it have lots of views but no bids Is it greek market for coins that down?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/18108865315....m1555.l2649

Thanks.

Some one will be interested. but I think your descriptions are too brief and replying on people to access other internet sites may be not enough. As noted in other areas in this forum the word rare is so misused that for many ebay Buyers the usual reaction is to ignore that word. I would suggest you amend your listings adding the story of each item. How many watchers do you have? It may well be that with all the fakes around the likely customers for your coins may be very suspicious of below catalog prices for such coins. Your low prices may well be a deterrent. I also suspect your location also adds to the suspicions. It may well be more effective to pass them on to an auction house for sale. Although outside of your country you might look to well known auction houses in Hungary, Slovakia or perhaps even Italy(just across the Adriatic for you). Perhaps even Vienna ( try HD Rauch an email including photos might even see them offer to buy)

You might want to start the bidding at half price or lower to get people interested. If you get a few competitors you will do better than starting so close to what the US would see as full retail. The auction mentality might kick in that way with bargain hunters leading the way to retail. Also post only one of each type coin at a time. That way if you get interested people you spread out the pocket book effect. By posting three coins that a limited audience is interested in you dilute your own pool of bidders. You force them to chose to bid on one and pass up two because of budget.

The market for all copper coins seems to be down. People are putting most money in silver. In the US right now we buy world base metal coins at NO MORE THAN 20% (much less for common stuff) of book value and sell at 50%. Most coins with a Krause value of $100 will sit for a long time here at $50.
