Question of value.

Triggersmob · June 01, 2013, 11:23:11 AM

I'm thinking of selling my 2007 SAS $1, so I can use the funds to purchase more coins. Just wondering if a copy of the invite to attend the launch (which I did attend) would add any value to it.

Unfortunately the back of the envelope is ripped.

To a lot of collectors the other items should add value to the coin.

Absolutely! Pity about the tear, but even the letter alone adds to it.

Just as a matter of interest, what sort of money you looking for? Original issue price was $70.91 (what a strange amount) according to http://web.archive.org/web/20070811192227/http://www.perthmint.com.au/catalogue/australian-sas-50-anniversary-silver-coin.aspx

In my spreadsheet, I have it down as costing $78.
$70.91 is probably before GST is added.
I'm sure how much to ask for it.
On E-bay they are asking up to $280, but are they selling?
When they first came out, I watched one sell for $500.
The buyers got caught up in the heat of the auction.
What sort of price do you think I should sell it for?

My advice when selling an item of uncertain value is to put it up with a buy now price 100% higher than you think, then put in an best offer option, Thats if your selling it on Ebay.

eBay sales

That piece of paper would probably add $5 extra to the current selling prices

Thanks for the link PP.
There certainly is a wide variance of prices.
I thought mine might be worth $280 to $300,
but now I'm not sure. Might have to think about
it for a while longer.

Listing it under "Militaria" as well as coins could be to your advantage.
A LOT of the VC coins & PNC's ended up in the hands of Miltaria Collectors.

Never thought about that.
Thanks for the idea.
