Did ANYTHING on TeleTrade???

BAJJERFAN · March 30, 2008 9:44PM

Sell last night? Not one thing on my watch list is showing as being sold.

LeeG · March 30, 2008 9:52PM

Watched one item and it went unsold. Prices are through the roof and collectors aren't paying in this economy.

etexmike · March 30, 2008 9:57PM

I only had 2 items on my watch list.

I didn't bid on either of them but they didn't sell. Maybe they did but back to the owner.

I had 3 items on my watch list - none sold.

Lately, I have found fewer and fewer items to watch on TT. Those that are worth watching don't seem to sell.

TONEDDOLLARS · March 30, 2008 10:22PM

5 COINS, NO SALE!!!!!!!

JCMhouston · March 30, 2008 10:33PM

It seems lately that Teletrade and Heritage are setting the reserves a bit too high. Everything I wanted to bid on yesterday would have required a new auction high to win, and none of them were that special. They were all relativly available coins i the $300-500 range.

I don't know if it's sellers expecting the really high prices or the auction houses, but for the last six weeks or so I have only added to my British collection, nothing to my US.

After going through all the pages from last night's auction, not a single lot remains, meaning all of them didn't sell. Now that is just absurd.

I was watching 5 or 6 and none sold! wow!

dbcoin · March 30, 2008 11:00PM

I think TT is having a technical issue. It is not possible that out of over 1000 lots, nothing sold.

smallchange · March 30, 2008 11:43PM

I bought a San Diego comm. last night so I know at least one thing sold. How do you tell if the items sold or not if they don't belong you, if they belong to you do you put a buyback on them if they don't reach a certain level. Not sure how all of this works, thanks for any help.

Athena · March 30, 2008 11:45PM

I bought a commemorative from TeleTrade last night also, so that means at least two lots sold.

I too was wondering if there was some sort of technical issue. If a coin on your watch list sells it will stay on there with a price realized given. If it doesn't sell, it disappears from the list. If it shows pending more than an hour after the auction ends thats a good sign that it likely didn't sell.

smallchange · March 30, 2008 11:54PM

ok, I get it now. You use your watch list to see the final prices which means it sold. Is there any way to tell how many bids a coin has gotten so that I can tell if someone has bid on it or if it is still at the opening price without writting down all the prices that the coins started at.

ArizonaJack · March 30, 2008 11:56PM

I watched a cpl......unsold

jhdfla · March 30, 2008 11:57PM

I had 5 items on my watch list, couple of franklins which were mediocre, a gold 2 1/2 Sesqui, and a few other seated coins, all vanished from my watch list this morning, meaning of course none sold. None were intersting enuf for me to actually buy, but I did see the bids rise over the course of the evening so I guess there were a few bidders on these coins...

No, there is no way of telling how many bids a coin gets without watching it. Also opening bids on TT are never at the buyback price, they always start off lower so there is always some movement from the opening price. The only case where this is not true is if there is no buyback and that is so rare on TT that they are snatched up quickly. At least with coins that I am interested in, I've only seen it happen 4 or 5 times.

Griv · March 31, 2008 12:10AM

I started with 12 potential picks but quickly dropped to 2. Apparantly outbid on both at the last minute.

WTCG · March 31, 2008 2:01AM

I had a consignment of 12 lots in that sale and a few lots sold for decent prices while a few others should have realized a higher amount. Eventually it all balances out.

A final price doesn't necessarily mean it actually sold.

Bochiman · March 31, 2008 2:09AM

I hyad roughly 10 items (IHCs, Mercs, Roosies, Frankies, early dollars)....nothing sold!

DennisH · March 31, 2008 2:09AM

Lack of transparency is why I stopped trusting Teletrade as an impartial venue for purchases long ago.

YaHa · March 31, 2008 2:32AM

Teletrade is having a tech issue, I see certain items Realized on some pages, also in my consignment section I had both of my items sold. I hope this helps. Main pages have issues right now.

Wolf359 · March 31, 2008 2:45AM

There were the usual absurd bids on "Rainbow" coins yesterday. They didn't land a sucker so none of them sold.

Broadstruck · March 31, 2008 2:58AM

I haven't figured this site out yet, but it smells fishy to me as I won a coin last night but again at my max bid, so I always feel like I'm buying the coin not bidding!

It's always at my exact maximum bid and I can't see any other bidders!

Cameonut · March 31, 2008 3:30AM

I have had that happen to me numerous times. It is almost as if they lowered a reserve to my max bid. But who knows?

Until Teletrade shows people who bids, you will continue to pay your max bid because Teletrade makes more profit that way. I don't know if this is true but it happens to me all the time when I bid and when pay.

You can add Stacks in there too!

I have won on TT at lower than my max bid many times. Stack's and SGBH via internet, well...that's a different story.

LeeG · March 31, 2008 5:22AM

Just went to TT and it now shows the Lot I was tracking as sold. $1000 for this coin:

MS67RB, POP 2/0

I now wonder what my 1957 POP 4/0 in 67RB is worth:

Barndog · March 31, 2008 5:33AM

Lincoln looks really angry on your coin, LeeG! He's going to pop a vein in his head if he gets angrier!

How's SGBH as that's not ringing a bell?

He's not liking the 2009 designs.

Kimchee · March 31, 2008 7:19AM

On most Teletrade auctions the individual sellers set the reserves (as a buyback price), at the latest two hours before the auction starts (if they follow the rules). My 1 auction I cosigned sold last night.

Griv · March 31, 2008 8:06AM

Me too. What would you want for it?

Superior Galleries -- I've won there via internet bids but always at my top bid...just doesn't seem right for the lots and bid amount I have entered.

Manorcourtman · March 31, 2008 10:00AM

I will NEVER sell on TT. All these threads make eBay look very attractive and legit. Beach about ebAy all you want but at least I trust them for legit auctions w/o shady side deals or questionable reserves.

BECOKA · March 31, 2008 10:11AM

2 coins I was tracking show final prices for me. They were a bit high too.

BAJJERFAN · March 31, 2008 10:13AM

I noticed now that about a third of my watch list sold.

Griv · March 31, 2008 4:08PM
