10k+ minus Ebay fees - Minus Paypal fees ( cause I am too honest )

 

= WOW

[Raisethis2]

Did you get FMV? What kind of proof set sells for that much?

 

If you got FMV then you're ok, if not...........there are auction companies that will sell valuable items with no sellers fees. Now you know.

Do you mean $10k selling price? If you got market rate, with the total fees around $500-$600, then you should have done okay.

I never saw you post an advertisement in the BST Forum. While I don't have the funds to buy the entire set out right at the moment, there are a few coins that I would have paid strong money for outside of eBay.

[AnkurJ]

Somehow I think you would have done better if the coins were sold individually.

[Raisethis2]

Well, even though I couldn't buy any of those, I'm pretty sure I feel your pain. The set looks wonderful.

You mean to tell me that you only received $10k for the entire set that Robec linked? That would be a catastrophe. The PR65 CAMEO Trade dollar would be worth that much by itself.

I was just taking a stab. I'm hoping it's not true.

[WoodenJefferson]

Well, I'm glad to see that you came to your senses, there are much better avenues to disperse a proof set as such.

[jesbroken]

Mike, surely you jest? I hope so, for that was one of the most gorgeous sets I have ever seen put together.

I actually forgot that he had a set of proof silver eagles in that ball park. It could be worse given the market for these, but I know how you feel.

[mkman123]

huh? Why not sell it here or ATS? Why give ebay the money.....? There would be someone here who would have bought it
