    Wow, you didn't even get half of your submission fee back after fees. Was this something you thought would 70?

    And this, on the other hand, is the flip side to the one cent/no reserve auction.
  • I guess it can be called lack of interest, buying interest. I think the buyer paid too much for the coin. JMHO.

    Yes, unless you can get a 70 I think 90% of the coins direct from the mint aren't worth slabbing.

    sorry relayer, here's another one you may take a beating on..

    Already bid higher than I'd be willing to go (when you factor in the outrageous shipping charges; what's he billing me for, envelopes, stamps, spit, gas, tire treads, shoe leather, etc.? imageimage

    however, I've bookmarked one of your 1795 $5 pieces, and may place a bid (I'm needing a pocket piece)

    OUCH!
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

  • At least you weren't this guy:

    Auction

    Seriously though, I don't see why you're calling the bidders cheap. Look at the others that have sold, on a good day it may have gone for $2 more. Not a whole heck of a lot of difference there.

    Yeah, but he charges $4.00 for S/H.

    I only charge $3.95. image

    Well, when you place an item for auction, "you takes yer chances". I sold a nice large brass cast belt buckle on EBAY a couple yr ago for .01C. Then, the buyer stiffed me, claiming he never received it. So, I taped a penny to a piece of paper and sent it to him, to avoid getting a neg.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but why would anyone want to buy a one year old coin with a mintage approaching one billion? I don't care if it's a 69 or 70 or 100. To me it's a dime and maybe on a good day it might be worth a quarter!
