Selling Enders

[Rich Hartford]

My son Scooba Steve and I were having a discussion about CRH. The subject of finding silver enders came up, and he suggested leaving these machine rolled find intact, and selling them on ebay.
Makes sense to me.
Any thoughts on this?

Murphy's law states that as when you do that there will be a "key" hidden inside. HH Mark

No way, some of them who have not had the full effect of Fluoridated water will be able to put it together and start hunting them type rolls themselves.

It may work.I see people selling wheat pennies all the time and say there unsearched??.So a roll with a silver ender will get them to bid,try a roll or 2!!

Your better off searching the roll and reloading the roll with a bait silver on the end and the rest clad and crimp the rolls. Unscrupulous, but so are most of the sellers.

How many "unsearched" wheat rolls are for sale are really unsearched? Many of the sellers have paid off their crimping machines many times over. Load a roll with a crappy Indian on end, the rest with wheats from the 50's, and people will bid. Every 10th auction, load a few keepers so that the feedback is reflected that people are actually finding some goodies and you are set.

I say no .

Wow, I think I just changed my mind about buying "unsearched rolls" on ebay. Some people don't have high standards at all.

Not worth riking negitive feedback.....

Most people won't leave the negative feedback out of fear of retribution. If the advertisement states that it is an unsearched roll (most will have the disclaimer "by me"), and you receive a roll of 49 wheats and the 1 "known" Indian than the seller has met his/her obligation. Negative feedback doesn't really hurt the powersellers as the ratio of number of sales versus the negative feedback is minuscule. The reciprocal negative feedback given to the buyer is much more damaging. The ratio of number of purchases compared to the negative feedback is greater. Most will just chalk it up to "learning experience". They might choose to "never buy from that seller again". Yet, they'll be buying "unsearched" rolls again from other sellers. I know one powerseller that has 4 different seller accounts all are powersellers.

Except the seller cannot leave the buyer negative feedback or neutral feedback. The seller can only leave positive feedback or leave none at all.

My favorites are the ones that say unsearched and then go on to say that the roll contains Wheats from the 20's 30's 40's and 50's or some such verbage, those always give me a chuckle!
