Heritage "Buy It Now" - I may have sold something

Shamika

Got an email this morning saying "Your Sell Offer has been accepted". Funny thing is, I didn't even realize I had listed it. Has anyone else sold an item this way?

Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Strange that they would list if for sale without your knowing. How did they establish a selling price?

I keep getting bothered about a Darkside coin that I don't want to sell. I just ignore them.
You are not obliged.

I think I did mark it as available, I just forgot. Kind of caught me off guard.

you should opt out. it is very annoying to offer on something and not hear from someone. by having the option on that screen it looks like you are entertaining offers.

this goes for anyone opting in that really have no intention or desire to be bothered with offers.

I've been ignored everytime I've offered a seller a major profit!!

I'm pleasantly surprised that it actually does get to the current owner. I've tried it so many times with no success. How recently did you purchase the coin?

I kind of always thought those items were house coins, and they were looking for a market for them between auctions. Never bothered making an offer on any of them because of that.

If I recall correctly, unless you opt out all the coins you purchase at auction from Heritage are automatically enrolled in their program. Therefore an enormous number of coins will lead to a dead end on the part of the person offering to buy and other coins, which may still be with those who purchased the coin through Heritage, will not actually be for sale.

I got an offer on an MS 65 Flyer I got from Heritage. I would have made something like $150 on the deal; I passed on it.

I don't believe this is true. You have to set your own "Buy It Now" price.

I have sold several items at a nice profit. (Comics, not coins - the market is red hot right now!)

In my case the buyer always makes an offer. You can accept, reject, or coounter.

I purchased the coin last April.

I'm not sure if everyone realizes this, but Heritage keeps 10% of the offer if the offer is accepted. As a result, any major profit may no longer be major.

Since you had not realized or not remembered the item was listed as possibly available, I had thought you were actually writing about the "Make Offer" feature even though you clearly wrote "Buy It Now" in the thread. The "Make Offer" feature has an opt-out option and this is what I was writing about. I just misunderstood your post.

Sorry about that Tom. Actually, the program to which I was referring is called "Buy Now from Owner" and I did indeed set a price. I had simply forgotten that I did. I've always said that every coin in my collection is available for sale if the price is right. Unfortunately, after Heritage takes their cut, there's not much left.

Take the money and run!!!

So I'm confused if I'm supposed to pay postage/insurance of if Heritage does.

I got one of these offers on a coin I had purchased at Heritage a few days earlier, accepted it, sent the coin to HA per their instructions, and a few weeks later I had a check in the PO box.

Seemed like a pretty good system to me!
