OK, how many folks are bidding on teletrade tonight?

Bear · August 23, 2009 10:13AM

Now, I did not ask specifically ,what you were

bidding on, did I?

DennisH · August 23, 2009 10:16AM

Not me.
Again.

notwilight · August 23, 2009 10:19AM

Thanks for the reminder. Any good lots? --Jerry

yellowkid · August 23, 2009 10:20AM

I was just looking, but no bids.

Bear · August 23, 2009 10:23AM

I am always looking for CBHs, but the price with the fees, tax and shipping,

is already rather on the high side with almost 2 hours more to go.

ColonialCoinUnion · August 23, 2009 10:25AM

I briefly considered bidding on Teletrade once about 3 years ago.

RyGuy · August 23, 2009 10:25AM

I was outbid on two lots that I already bid rather strongly on. Oh well...

docg · August 23, 2009 10:26AM

I am on a PCGS MS67 1953d Washington!

Millertime · August 23, 2009 10:29AM

I looked but didn't see anything to catch my eye.

There is nothing that will upgrade my birthyear set. I didn't look at every lot but prices vs. quality are not working for me. Believe it or not I'm seeing better deals on eBay.

For example this TT lot looks like it has been dipped and I'm thinking it should be 67 DCAM. Anyway my bid was blasted out of the water. quarter

I have 5 coins on my watch page but will place bids on 0. Again.

I bet that all 5 will go unsold.

I was seriously thinking about bidding on a coin, but the pictures are grainy enough that, while I like the toning, I can't tell if the coin is well-struck enough or if it really is graded properly. Now it is in a NGC holder but the grade it's in is significantly higher than the grade below. Same coin at heritage probably would bring more because of the better pictures (I know, not perfect, but much better).

However the bid is low enough that it may be attractive. Still have an hour to decide

.

blu62vette · August 23, 2009 11:04AM

I wanted to but my tracked lot was already above my bid when I looked earlier.

Patches · August 23, 2009 11:12AM

What's the deal with this auction? I don't get it:

1909-S VDB (NGC AU-55) $5,800?

Fletcher · August 23, 2009 11:28AM

Teletrade is a shill fiesta ... I am a bit surprised that it hasn't been shut down by some governmental agency yet.

GRANDAM · August 23, 2009 11:29AM

I always have a bunch of low ball bids if nothing else

I even get some bargains every once and awhile

BAJJERFAN · August 23, 2009 11:38AM

I have a few I'm watching, but they are already at more than I'd like to pay. I was quite pleased with my last purchase a few weeks ago.

Here is one that if it stays as is will cost someone about $300. How it ever got a 66 with those hits to the schnazz and brow is beyond me.

GRANDAM · August 23, 2009 11:44AM

Are the photos worse than usual tonight? It seems so from my monitor?

anablep · August 23, 2009 11:44AM

I am, and it looks like it's going to go for way more than I wanted to pay, but I'm still the lead bidder.

Bear · August 23, 2009 11:48AM

I believe that teletrade, is for the rejects in slabs.

For the most part, these are coins that really do not

make the grade.

SCDHunter · August 23, 2009 11:53AM

I am watching this one with interest. It is relatively common in this grade. I suspect it won't sell.

Bear · August 23, 2009 12:00PM

the #304 is among the most common of this particular medal.

I owned a MS-66 of this and only paid 600 dollars for it. This

medal is waaaayyyyyyy overpriced. Smells like a reserve bid

trolling for a sucker.

I remember someone here having a killer 304. Did you post a pic of yours here?

<< I believe that teletrade, is for the rejects in slabs. For the most part, these are coins that really do not make the grade. >>

I couldn't disagree with you more.

I do think it takes some searching and I like their search feature because I can wade through the common stuff/dreck.

But there are some real sweet deals to be had on TT if one is willing to take the time to search and target the coin(s) that belong in one's collection...

GRANDAM · August 23, 2009 12:13PM

<< I believe that teletrade, is for the rejects in slabs. >>

I don't agree either. I have gotten some really nice coins from them. I don't think they have any worse coins than anyone else.

BUY the coin,,,,, not the slab,,,, but only buy PCGS slabs,,,,

It appears they have moved the direction of the lighting (down south) in their photography, that, I have noticed. Perhaps the Heritage guy moved to Teletrade.
As for their inventory, it looks as though that's all they have to play with as the extension of what's coming up has been limited in a big way, very few pages for browsing............no consigners?
Is it the economy? Their nonmarketing bidding system?

Bayard1908 · August 23, 2009 1:01PM

I was outbid, probably by the consignor.

yellowkid · August 23, 2009 1:08PM

Wasn't there a 66 just on ebay??? Yes, it sold for $201.

KentuckyJ · August 23, 2009 1:44PM

I don't agree TT is for rejects but it is true I have no interest in any of their current offerings. I haven't looked at TT in several months.

Joflax · August 23, 2009 2:41PM

<< I was outbid, probably by the consignor. >>

This is the reason that I dont even track lots on teletrade any more.They need to change their format

Bear · August 23, 2009 5:52PM

Looks like non of the MS-64 CBHs sold tonight.

That's what folks get, with unrealistic reserves.

You could buy the same coins, cheaper from a

dealer.

OK, how many folks are bidding on teletrade tonight?
