Frank - you can "reason" what you will....I stand by my observations as to why your coins aren't doing as well as YOU think they should.

Re: Selling on Ebay no longer worthwhile...
I'm with you Frank. My listings are minimal and do not compare to guys here. I sell high dollar stuff, but not on eBay. That venue for me is a playground.

Russ, NCNE >> $26 is really pretty good for that coin. Even the inflated PCGS price guide is $45. I find it really hard to believe Frankcoins paid $55 for it. -

Russ, NCNE >> yeah, i was thinking the same thing when i saw that auction. The retail price is absurd, as is the ' i don't know how to dip, but i'll try anyway' look of it. -

<< <i> << <i>Boch's right on. It's not Ebay, it is you Frank! I see some of the poorest marketing I have ever seen! You say you have been making 25%-50% doing it like this, in the past????
