George Coins

[Coinery 1,156]

Forgive me, I'd not post this in other than extreme circumstances, but I have a couple of coins of interest sent to the slaughter this week on the 'bay, and will be sacrificing around 100 high but, lower-priced, coins of G5 & G6 over the next 3/4 weeks...plus SOME higher value coins!

Boat, and my life have hit a bit of a wall, recently, and I need to raise some capital! I hope my continued participation on this forum permits me the luxury of such a blatant advert?

Thanks, Paulus, I've only 'reserved' 2 coins, everything else is free for all! As will be the next 100 G5 and G6 pieces, good and bad alike!

[jaggy 528]

I would be happy to share my 'buy' list in the event that we can find a 'meeting of the minds'.

Good luck with that, Stuart - I've put a few in the watch list!

[scott 144]

the George V and VI is not.

Everything that's on there except 2 Liz bits will be relisted with 99p start, just as soon as the BIN listing ends! Around a 100 to go on with 99p starts, Scott, so get your trigger-finger ready!

Someone sniped a Liz HG off me for 99p last week, I thought that could be you!

[Colin G. 147]

I am also on standby

I like the six pence may have a cheeky bid on that

[Paulus 1,975]

I am interested Stuart, which items were you happy with the realised price and which were you less happy?

I think the 1920 penny, the E1 sixpence, and the G3 2D could've performed better, I think another £75 across these 3 would've been good! The W&M is a fabulous coin, it surprised me not to have done better!

ANOTHER 100 to come, let's hope it balances out across that sort of number...the average of the total figure will be an interesting one!

I think ebay is saturated. Too much rubbish means too few viewers of quality because they can't find what they're looking for. 6 or 7 years ago there were 100 pages of British listed. Now it is 1000 - mostly c**p. There simply aren't that many people looking for junk. Go to a regular auction and the sifting has already been done to a large extent.

Block the crap sellers.

Gradually build up your list.

Ebay were meant to limit sales to 100 listings per month.This doesn't seem to work.

When you get stuff like this it is cringeworthy.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290953441637?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

trouble is punters occasionally actually buy this tat.

[declanwmagee 122]

...and the corollary of that, of course, is that the competition for anything that stands out from the crap is fierce.

You'd be surprised what will sell though. I shifted about 5 kg of utter tat for someone in the village last night. Not just the usual bulk lots of G-V pennies, but all sorts of gold plated Cook Islands rubbish that her mother in law had forced upon her from Westminster Mint, and she's been carting around from house move to house move and was glad to see the back of. Beats me who wants it, but still...

I just block eBay (wouldn't have a clue how to block individuals). I don't bother going on very often, and when I do it is just to search for a specific item.

The problem is that you have to sift through the crap to find the occasional gem. I'm only on this planet for three score years and ten. It's ok for you youngsters though.

That's a perfectly acceptable coin for someone who wants a collectable example to fill a gap. Divide the asking price by 7 or 8 and I'd be happy enough with it.

So true. Having said that, one day I will try out Declan's massive exclusion zone, which I've got buried in some document somewhere on my computer if only I could find it!
