(especially since just about half the halves are 1976! Report this Post to the Staff

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 06/08/2010 8:11 pm A quick search of completed auctions in the roll section shows them selling for a little over face. I guess putting them in this section instead gives the seller a larger bid pool...and higher price. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinsucker New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 06/09/2010 03:46 am It works to what, a dollar a coin? Seller is not making anything on this auction.....the hassle factor kicks in..... Report this Post to the Staff
SPQR Valued Member United States 327 Posts	Posted 06/09/2010 10:04 am Not making anything? I'm quite sure he's pulling these while roll searching which means by getting 17 for 20 (ten dollars worth), he's showing a 70 percent profit....Even allowing ten percent to ebay fees, he's still showing a 60 percent profit on his "investment". If they don't sell, it's back to the bank for face value, so it's a zero percent risk. It's a good business model for somebody if they are retired or have lots of spare time.

Saruma Pillar of the Community United States 968 Posts	Posted 06/09/2010 11:47 am I doubt it is much hassle for him. The seller has nearly 6000 auctions. This indicates he does ebay as a business, so he's got shipping down pat I'm sure. He probably sends a bunch of items out all at once anyway. If you are making a profit it is worth it.

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 06/09/2010 11:56 am He is using stock pictures for his Half dollar lots... so listing is a breeze.. He also starts them at 12.99 so even with paypal and ebay fees if they sell he will not loose money. Most of the listings have sold for the start bid or a couple of dollars over. This one would appear to be the exception.. Edited by nohope587 06/09/2010 11:59 am Report this Post to the Staff
