If I were new to the BST...

AthenaAthena Posts: 439 ✭✭✭
Do you think following these guidelines would help me to sell?

1. Post huge images that won't even show completely on a 21" monitor. After all, the more detail for the potential buyer, the better?
2. Post multiple threads in the BST Forum. It's good to make sure my coins get most of the attention, correct?
3. Post a few "check out my coins" threads in the US Coin Forum too. Good sales require advertising in various locations?
4. Just ask for offers via PM on some of my coins, rather than posting a price. This "private auction" works well, especially for fairly new sellers, am I wrong here?

I appreciate any advice provided. image

    Sounds like a good set of rules sticky for the BST.

    Repetition of ignorance is ignorance raised to the power two.

    Well done, Athena!

    I might add number five: State you will beat all others prices, just pm me, so we can negotiate (maybe I can drive the offer down); better now?

    The number and frequency of the offenses from our latest culprit makes me think it is possible he/she did not know the rules? (Not that ignorance is ANY excuse!)

    But, we rarely get these cropping up . . . all-in-all, I think we are fairly lucky.

    I responded to one of the BST threads prior to this thread in an attempt to share some points on site etiquette. We will see how well that has gone.

    I saw that. A very courteous tutorial.

    I can see the photos from my cell phone, but from my computer it just shows up as Xs. Seems weird.

    Ditto, but if one is so inclined, one can right-click, click properties, copy the URL, and paste into a new window. It shows up. Then, one can just move back and forth in that album and see the other coins
    (I know, I did this because I was curious.....only did it for a couple of coins then I was no longer curious)

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
