Anybody willing to share how they set their sell prices for items offered here, other than the obvious "by grade?" A few approaches have crossed my mind: 1. Numismedia based - seem way high to me in many cases 2. Grey sheet - probably too low 3. ebay completed - schizophrenic at times, but well representative of the market in total 4. Discount for CCF members - but discount from what? Thanks. |

What seems to work best is knock 10% off what you paid, then eat the shipping!

Got lots of experience with that -10% in the stock market. Free shipping there though.

How do you get to see those 'greysheet' prices? I've heard of them; but only dealers get them, no?

One more reason to have a forum or subforum for members taht are coin dealers. Then such a post with those questions could be answered by the actual people right here that sell coins.
Just a thought.

Quote:http://www.greysheet.com/Ask your dealer mine usually will give me his old ones for free if you dont wanna pay. I asked mine but he saves them for when he has to do historical value appraisals and wouldn't sell. So I went to greysheet's website and purchased one. You can get paper copies or PDF versions. You can also save money by ordering back issues. I picked up March 11 for $2.00. |

I use ebay completed listings, then deduct half the fees (6%)...that way the buyer and seller get a good deal. |

I use CoinFact's auction averages from the last 6 months for numismatic items. CoinFacts includes all public auction records.
For bullion I usually price it just under spot and include free shipping.
