Selling 40%'s what do you expect to get?

I am selling 10 rolls (200 coins) on fee bay and as of right now im getting $405.00 ($2.02 a coin) after 22 bids. I have never sold 40%'rs before and was wondering what you guys expect when you sell. My auction ends in just over 4 hours, if you would like to see got to fee bay, coins, halfs, then type in "roll" and you will see it. Im not putting a link to it but its easy enought to find it. It may be interesting what they are selling for in an open auction, oh yea I started it off at 99c 5 days ago.

Re: Selling 40%'s what do you expect to get?

I would expect more on eBay. 4 hours still remaining, the bidding will increase especially the last 1/2 hour. Depending on shipping being charged, they have been selling for 40-45 bucks a roll. Larger lots should go for a bit more, if you marketed the shipping savings in your description by emphasizing the winner is saving on shipping by buying from a single buyer instead of 10 different buyers.

I have found also that if you offer free shipping that the over all profit goes up as well. 4 hrs. left you should see it go up. Good luck and let us know the selling price. Thanks.

Re: Selling 40%'s what do you expect to get?

Well I have it at $15 shipping with the insurance, I know people like to snipe auctions at the last minute but I wasn't sure if I could expect to break the $500 mark. I just checked the Coinflation silver melt calculator and for 200 40%'rs are worth $517. So hopefully I can get close but if not all of these only cost me .50c a piece. :icon_pirat:

I've sold some on Ebay and as Silver prices went up my net was $1.86 the last time sold 2 weeks or so ago (Silver was around $17).
Have been looking inot Smelters thinking they'd pay more- my Net would be better but so far figuring what they'd pay most are less than my Ebay net 2 little more but when figure the shipping & Insurance so far ALL of them would be lower Net than Ebay. Anybody else notice that too, is there a better way to sell them?

P.s. last 2 sells on Ebay were two 5 Roll lots of %40'ers, one went for 248.51 the other 252.01, plus $5 shipping. Wont sell them in any bigger lots cause the $'s add up and figure alot of people won't be able to spend that much at one time.

But if you have as many as I do to sell them small lots get tedious- was hoping Smelter was way to go. Seems like someone said they sold in Dallas and got 4731 for 1K face that would be real good, like net of 2.36 ; wonder if he was being less than honest(?).

Re: Selling 40%'s what do you expect to get?

No I hear ya, I guess its the price we have to pay for getting them at fifty cents apiece... I guess at the end of the day its all profit though. But the real question is how do we get a maximum profit? LOL

Re: Selling 40%'s what do you expect to get?

On fee-Bay my last sales went for about 2.26 (plus postage) or so per coin, but net only 1.86, have alot of them if anyone wants some and wants to pay more than say 1.95 and less than Ebay's going rate of 2.26 plus let me know, %40's of course. Got alot that look really nice too.
