Came across a coin I sold a few months ago. It has resold on ebay for about 800 more than I sold it for. I usually dont mind when others make some money on me. But jeez $800

The only real complaint I can see is "Why didn't you sell ME whatever that coin is and why couldn't I have been the one to make $800+ on it?????"

You had your chance - I had it listed on the BST board late last year

I hate when that happens

coin22lover · March 31, 2011 9:19AM

I'd like to see which coin this is

This can't be true. Afterall, eBay sucks so bad that nobody can make a profit.

I'm not sure I would feel bad.

If it was $10,000 coin that sold for $10,800 - no problem.

If it was a $100 coin that sold for $900 - I'd be kicking myself.

O.K. So then I won't mention the Russian Mint set that you offered to me for $12, when the real market for it was about $145. I wonder which Postal employee ended up with it ?

Welcome to the otherside of the cherrypicking fence Tydye.

Thanks - way to pour salt in my just opened wound

I am sure it was not the first nor the last.

Been there...

Listed an error at .99 no reserve I paid $100 for and it sold for $230 shipped.

Buyer re-lists at a BIN of $2500 and accepts an offer for $1500

I don't get it, if at that time you were happy with the price you sold it then why does it matter how much someone else can sell it for?
I'd be happy if I get what I wanted in the sale and the buyer can make $$ off of the sale too. It's a win win.

Let us know how the flea market seller who sold you the 1795 F.H. Dollar reacts when you sell it.

Of course you could sell it to me for $10 over what you paid...
