I'm looking at this sellers listings on and wondering what in this economy these will do listed without a reserve on flea-bay 
There's 3 intense coppers that I just couldn't see listing at 99 cents and placing so much faith closing on a early holiday weekend.

I was wondering if his listings where a scam at first as I thought it was a joke

I would expect many of these listings to be ended before they run their course.
I am looking for signs of shilling, but I haven't seen any yet.

All it takes is a shill and a snipe - doesn't matter anymore.
(still fearful of listing a prize at 9.99 and losing a bundle- the gambler in me keeps doing it.
could be anything worse than putting up something you REALLY like, then practically giving it away?!)
1879-O{Rev}: 1st coin of my "secret set"

yup, i see tons of action on every coin. good stuff on ebay always
and i mean always gets bids. does not matter the object, quality fetches
a fine price.

Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

seems to be the norm
<< <i>Looks like they have 31 coins up and all have multiple bids- if you have coins you are confident in you can start them at .99 and not be afraid. >>
Maybe 10% of coin sellers have a solid enough base of repeat buyers and bidders that they can do that. Give some of those exact same coins to a different seller that is 100% reputable but doesn't have a fan base of repeat customers, and the prices might be 30% to 50% lower. These days, there are a lot of blood baths being taken by the average sellers (as compared to the exceptional sellers with a dedicated customer base).
