Ebay's new "Want it now" service...

Anyone use it yet? Any sellers use it to find buyers yet?

I put some "WIN"s in, but no responses yet . Seems like a good idea; we'll see...

Might be useful as a buyer, but I'd wait to see how early returns come back. Lately I've found that I can get the good stuff I'm looking for at a better price from a dealer's fixed price lists (when I see them and grab them before others) than through auctions (including eBay and Teletrade).

Even when dealers want strong money, they rarely price things at the "stupid money" for the items I track in auctions. I'm close to giving up on even *looking* for stuff via the auction route, at least until these market segments cool down, as the prices are getting absurd there.

Unfortunately, as a speciality collector, I am forced to go the auction route to keep pace with the expansion of my collection, there are just not enough dealers out there that specialize in holed coins.

nice idea. We'll see how it works out.

Anyone figure out how to edit a post let me know



edited to add: Looks to me like the only way to edit is to delete and start over.

I just put one in. It is not coin related but have often wanted certain coins that were not on Ebay.

Hope it pans out.

Without even clicking on your link, Russ, I'll bet you're referring to the posts
for the State quarter samples slabs!

I just made a post there, identical to the one I placed in the BST here. The
strange thing is, when I entered the post and it had me select a category,
I chose "Coins". It didn't give me any further sub-category choices, but the
post has correctly ended up in the Coins:US:Commemoratives:Modern section.

Do they have a live person monitoring these for now and placing them into
the correct sub-category???

And how did that listing entitled "bra" end up under the coin section?
