My first eBay auction!

[Mr. Sir]

It's ending in a minute. This is so cool! I'll let you know how it goes.

 

[lumberjack]

Buying or selling?

 

[squisher]

So?

 

[Dave Shepard]

He's offline, either it went very bad, or he's packing for a vacation.

 

[Old Monkey]

I think he must have sold off some of his kids for medical science.

 

[SkwerI]

Maybe he sold his 'puter?

 

[Dave Shepard]

 

[Mr. Sir]

You guys crack me up. Sorry, I had to go eat dinner. I'm selling some old coins

I've sold two so far, for a little more than I expected.

 

[Che]

I've got so much junk that I pick up from goodwill, I've GOT to start selling.

I hate giving out my Visa number though. Do you still have to, to be able to sell?

 

[SkwerI]

When I was a kid, my dad had a big coin collection. His pride of the collection was a 1934s (I think) silver dollar in uncirculated condition. It was worth several thousand dollars at that time (around 1980), but later his entire collection was stolen in a break-in while we were out of state on vacation. The 2-3 times he was robbed during my youth were all assumed to be done by his employees or ex employees, I don't think they were ever caught.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'm in the process of getting rid of EVERYTHING I don't need and have accumulated over the years. I just throw the shit away.

 

[brendonv]

I've got a large metal container filled with really really old coins I acquired. Some day I might get rich.

Can I Have it?

I can't throw anything away, if I do I end up needing it or find out it was worth something, like this, scrap value about $5, I've got about the same amount stopping my shed door from opening properly. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI...m=320308282911&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=011

 

[MasterBlaster]

Shoot, I've a 90 gallon fishtank I'm just gonna throw it away. Imma cleaning house!

 

[Cobleskill]

I love when people put good shit out for free. Last year I found a wheel to measure distance($140) and a nice skill saw at the same place.

Put the stuff out a couple days before garbage day and I bet not much will be left for the garbage man.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I coulda had a helluva garage sale, but I didn't want to bother with it. Out with the old!

I remember throwing my mother's yearbooks away, a weird feeling. Those meant something only to her, not me. Just like someday someones gonna throw MY sentimental stuff away, and I'll fade into the past.

 

[sotc]

cant beleive your tossing out your silver, good time to hang onto it imo.

 

[Al Smith]

Well now they say a measurement of somebodies true net worth is how many days it takes to hold the auction after they have passed on .

 

[MasterBlaster]

No silver, I'd keep that.

 

[Al Smith]

No silver, I'd keep that.

Well then ,save that tank and fill it full of silver . You could likely retire on that amount or at least take a nice vacation in a warm area .Then too you already live in a warm area so there most likely is no appeal to that .

 

[Che]

Bring the usable stuff to Goodwill.....deduct what you'd pay for it at their store if you buy it or what you consider its fair worth. You'll get a break on taxes if you itemize, and someone else will get the use of a new 'treasure'.

I do a donation run about three times a year. Makes a difference.

Craig's List.

eBay

Curb side removal before trash pickup.

etc.

People buy yearbooks on eBay....just search on your school/year.

 

[sotc]

meant for mr sir

 

[Mr. Sir]

They're mostly copper, really. With some silver, not sure of the percentages. I do it mostly because its a lot of fun, and I've got a bunch of these coins just sitting in the safe.

 

[NickfromWI]

In my experience, things I sell on ebay typically go for more than they are worth. Is the same true for your coins?

 

[Mr. Sir]

Yes, that seems to be true.
