    I will be listing some very nice error coins today, Check back tonight.
  • I'll be putting up all I have time for tonight, hopefully at least 20. Nice when they throw us a bone but wish they'd give us a day's notice.
    Have bought and sold on BST, many references available when asked.

    Of course they choose to do it today when I have an PLANNED Afternoon Kayak fishing / then lobster hooping trip.

    I am listing and photoing many coins but no way can I do the 250 cause I AM going fishing in the thick fog image

    I hate when they do this. Just fills up the site with a ton of listings at inflated priced in hopes that someone buys something for more than it is worth.

    I'm already pushing the 200 per year thing so I'm passing.
    Need something designed and 3D printed?

    Oh, darn... I put up 195 listings on Sunday. When they want to change their FVFs, let me know. But for now, I'll take the Sunday-Sunday time slot, even if it costs a whopping $19.50.

    So would it be okay to list "a coin" for sale 250 times, starting at $.99 ? No telling what the coin is until I get it filled in the next few days.

    I could save $25. and if we got enough people to list this way, we could "OCCUPY EBAY" image

  • I use to keep anywhere from 100 too 200 in my not sold auction and when these days came up
    I would list them for free. Then a few weeks ago I noticed that most of those old auctions
    that where qued up in there just vanished. I guess eBay firgued out what i was doing by
    saving them and not deleting the not sold auctions. The rascals. image
  • Yes, I will be pushing out 250 listings tonight - it takes all of 2 minutes if you use their file transfer service. I will go with short, 3 day listings to end on Friday, which is a pretty good day to end (for me, at least).

    Ebay "free listings" reminds me of the movie theater that gives free admission and charges $16.00 for a small popcorn and a Coke.

  • ctf_error_coinsctf_error_coins Posts: 15,433 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I disagree to a point, yes some did load tons of overpriced stuff ......

    But others like myself, are able to list fairly priced items for free that may cost up to 2 bucks before, I have sold many items this way.

    I did occupy ebay with a bunch of really cute Baby Harbor Seal Photos that I would not pay to list on ebay as it is not a good way to sell art.

    Never got an email about this. Guess I am not worthy.
