It Takes Both Rain & Sunshine To Make a Rainbow!

Since I am pretty new to eBay I went back and forth about if I wanted to keep trying to sale on eBay. With all the negatives I have heard about lately. Not to mention the cost of silver being so high no one was even looking not alone buying. So I thought what the heck try again. Now I am not like most of you guys when I sale on eBay I only list a max of maybe 4 to 5 coins. But last week I sold 3 and this week I sold 2 so far. Not to bad for a newbie  |

Jana I think thats great. I have always found that when I am away for a while and bring new stuff to the table I sell 100% of everything listed. Keep at it and you will get your own rhythm as well.

I've actually just had my best 30 days ever on eBay. So I think it may be a trend for all of us. Great bounce back from the boycot bringing in a terrible month.
My final sale prices aren't high. But the numbers of items sold and the number of dollars brought in are at my all time high. Well, I did get over 1100 different coins listed for the first time ever too. So, I'm sure that had something to do with it.
I gotta start learning to say "we" instead of "I". After all, for the last couple months I haven't been a one man show any more. Without help, I would just have to throw in the towel. I have absolutely zero time to do this stuff and I find myself actually getting up before the sun rises, to work eBay. That is unheard of for me. So glad I have help!

That is great Jesse! Having someone to help out lets you have more time for other things I know. I am the same way my paint department is pretty much running itself now and the best thing is I feel secure with the running of it. It sure has helped me to have time to work on other things.

well now this past week was even better everyone must be having the silver fever. I had 5 listing sold 2 but the funny thing was I had a set of 5 Christmas coins listed and right after the auction ended a watcher emailed me and wanted to know If I would sale 4 of the 5 and relist it for a buy it now. So I thought what the heck I have never done a buy it now so I did emailed the watcher to let them know it was posted and I inclued buy it now. And within 15 minutes the 4 coins were sold. That was pretty easy.
Now I have a question for you eBay pro's should I always offer "Buy it Now"?

I always offer Buy It Now in my auctions and Best Offer in my Store Items. It works for me, but the listing fees are higher when you do it.
Glad you are having a good week. I'm still on fire myself. eBay is being good to me lately.

Is it possible somewhere here to list all of the Ebay User Id's so I know who is who, I know what Adams and Jesse's and Anthony in Malta's are, but Jana I don't know yours and I'm sure that I am missing out on some great coins because of it.

I'd say from slow to awesome!
In the last 6 weeks, I have doubled my record 30 day sales numbers.

well things just seem to be moving along for me with great sales. When I checked Friday silver was at a high of $17.06 an oz so it is coming down a bit. But still doing good single coin sales of silver at $22.95 per coin.
After going through more inventory at the shop I have about 30 to 40 Challenge coins I will be listing on eBay I listed about 9 last week and sold all but a few. I am going to try and get the rest listed this coming week.
Here is my question for some eBay pro's. Is there anyway that I can do a discount to a buyer that is a USCC or CCA member?
