First coins sold on eBay...

I think I did pretty good for relatively common date & condition coins. Thanks for the boardmembers who entered bids!

1909-D $5 gold Indian Head half-eagle ANACS EF45 - $290

1928 $20 Saint Gaudens Dble Eagle ANACS MS62 - $635

1900 $20 Liberty Double Eagle ANACS MS62 - $676

1915-S $20 St Gaudens Dble Eagle ANACS MS62 - $642

Any feedback is appreciated, thanks.

    Crystal clear photos and lots of them. Easy to read format. Great terms.

    I can understand why you did well! Successful auctions conclude as a result of easy to navigate descriptions/terms and crisp, clear (large too) photos.

    Good job!

    If you haven't noticed, I'm single and miserable and I've got four albums of bitching about it that I would offer as proof.

    Nicely done. Maximum image, minimum commentary. My only quibble would be this:



    << <i>Payments must be received within 5 days of auction ending. >>



    That's an unrealistically short time frame.

    Thanks Russ, that's good feedback, I'll modify that in the future.

    Good auctions. My suggestion for the next round would be to utilize the one free eBay pic. This has two good consequences:

    1) The pic shows up at the top of the auction, next to the Place Bid button;

    2) The pic sticks with the auction, so if you need to remove your own hosted pics to reclaim server space, there will still be a pic there for future eBay historians.

    Otherwise, gotta love 99c start auctions!

    Good advice, I would add that the free pic will still show up while the auction is running if something happens to your server.

    It's a puss' hair.




    And that's the puss' (when she was younger...):
