Who are the Board's best e-bay sellers?

VeepVeep Posts: 1,423 ✭✭✭✭
I have developed different contacts for selling different types of coins. From time to time, I have coins to sell for which e-bay would be my vehicle of choice. I have sold this way on my own, but don't really have the time or inclination to keep doing it myself. Nor do I have a large number of E-bay transactions built-up that would help to give buyers confidence. I'm willing to consign the coins and pay a percentage for listing, imaging, etc. The coins can run from proof sets to silver dollars to type coins, circulated, uncirculated, proof; almost anything.

Who on this board takes these types of consignments and what do they charge?

Thanks!

    Aethelred has done some consignments for people. He's not the only one, either.

  • The "typical" commission for coins that the majority of eBay assistants charge starts at 20% of the gross sale price on eBay with a minimum of usually $5. The commission is generally a sliding scale with a low end of 5% for coins over $1000. Packaging and shipping requires an extra fee.

    Thanks for the feedback so far. I've also received a few PMs.

  • You can also check with Jeremy (airplanenut) he does a good job, especially with toned coins, and has a very decent commission rate image

  • Carl Wohlforth advertises a service like you are describing on his web site:

    I haven't used it but have bought a few coins from him from ebay (he does good listings) and from his web site.

    Thanks Mike, appreciate the comments.

    I don't typically go out and look to do consignments, but I will do them for board members at 10% commission after fees.
