Morgan Fred Rest in Peace United States 2684 Posts	Posted 09/03/2006 10:59 pm Sharktoy, if you recall, the announced reason ebay jacked up its Store fees was to force sellers back into traditional auction mode where ebay can command higher Final Value and auction fees. I am not certain if this is a good move on ebay's part since a LOT of sellers like Bobby and Susan will be forced out of the store business. I am also not certain that ebay's desired end of a higher bottom line and, hence increased stock value (which has gone into the toilet over the past 21 months) will be achieved. ebay has an image problem and it's high time it acknowledges this fact.

mike1352 New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 09/08/2006 5:12 pm Yes, I believe you will sell much easier and better from an auction than a store. Most people I know run from a store like the plage. Some reasons are higher shipping, and not all stores really what they say they are. Even if it cost a little more to sell in an auction you will sell allot more. Mike Report this Post to the Staff

Most of the "world class" ancient coin dealers I know actually sell on ebay themselves, lol. Peter Report this Post to the Staff
jdheyne Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 09/13/2006 08:54 am I had a store and closed it. Nobody would really hit on it, although all prices were below wholesale price. But I am about done with ebay in general. Granted it is still a great place when you are trying to find that hard to find item, I have never bought a coin on there, nor have I had great luck selling. Local auctions is where I come out the best. If I can't get RedBook price out of any given coin, something is wrong. It's ridiculous what some people will pay. I have been the main supplier for one of the local auctioneers. For the longest time, everything in there was pure junk. But when I starting putting in, I had some good stuff. UNC Morgans, real Trade dollars, semi-keys and keys of the heavily collected (Morgans (The later 80's S-mints), Lincolns (09 S, 14 D's), Mercury dimes (16'D, the 21's). The turnouts of been the largest he has had, and with large turnouts brings more bidders, which in turn drives the prices up. The only thing I have not had luck with were some better grade (XF-ish) bust quarters. With such a limited collector base, they just don't go. So I am pretty much done with ebay, and just stick with local auctions and some friends I have acquired along the way when I have stuff to sell. Jordan Report this Post to the Staff
