I have updated the sales numbers to the first week of 2025. These sales should be close to final numbers for the 2024 commemoratives. This means new record lows.

Can you quote those for our benefit?

Hi,

Yes I put the final numbers in the original post. The latest is

2021 Law Enforcement 1,753
2022 Negro Leagues Baseball 1,507
2022 Purple Heart 1,677
2024 Greatest Generation 1,377
2024 Harriet Tubman 1,293

**** The Harriet Tubman gold coin broke under 1,300, which is very good for collectors.

Why?

Oh BS. Profits are in the construct of IRS considered business. Profits should not be considered for any item sold on eBay unless through an IRS considered business. Ex: You sell a used motorcycle on eBay for 10k. You do not have an eBay or any other considered business. Now you receive an 1099 and potentially owe a profits tax on an item simply because of price and venue. I suppose classified paper ads, Craigslist, garage sales, etc. are next. BS.

Taxation already applies to the profits (business) or capital gains (individual) for items sold through ANY venue.

I am not a tax attorney, nor do I play one on TV. To better explain my example, the Bike new was 20K, sold for 10K, capitol loss, not a gain. Should I try to claim it? That is where the attorney comes in. Does eBay know when I sold the bike if it was at a loss or a gain? No, they still will send the 1099 because the Feds keep moving the goalposts and eBay is aggressive on this issue. eBay will send a copy of the 1099 to the Feds. What happens if the 1099 is NOT filed with taxes? You know the answer. Moreover, you sell the bike at a differing venue garage sale, estate sale, local auction etc., who wants the extra burden of deciding/declaring personal vs. investment sales. So yes, it is BS.

Don’t count on it. I expect you would get a 1099k for the 10k you sold the bike for. I sold $5k of basement crap a few years ago for the kind of loss you would expect. I got a 1099K. Who keeps receipts on basement crap. Hire a lawyer and accountant? I felt easiest way to pay the damn tax, about $1000 and never get myself in that mess again.

You wouldn't need receipts unless audited. For used items, I guarantee the IRS is not going to make a fuss about missing receipts.

^this. Auditors know that retail goods for personal use depreciate and are very unlikely to chase it after the initial letter.

Been looking for one like this for a while. It wasn't cheap, but the time to buy it is when you see it (for hard to find stuff).

Sgt. Preston, May I suggest using a cooler on your dogsled for the trek home. 😨

yep, it stinks
last baltimore show was $45

Looks like it's also a clipped planchet error.
