This lot would have been picked clean I would guess

[Robster]

Wow.!!:shok:

[dreamcatcher]

That's massive. They never give much information unfortunately and are usually vague..."we can't say for sure if they've been checked". They've probably been combed over several times. 40 cents per penny is not cheap.

[Unicorn]

True Dreamcatcher, they're not particularly cheap, but if I had $12.8k that I didn't know what to do with, I'd do it for the pure thrill of noodling them to see.

[Fulvio]

You'd probably find just as many keepers by noodling one kilo 300 times. :diablo:

[Unicorn]

:laugh2: .... very good Fulvio!

[dreamcatcher]

Yeah it would be fun but you'd probably end up losing money on the lot. Even if you sold them for the same price you'd lose ebay or other auction fees of around $1000. So you'd definetely be paying for the fun.

[coxspau]

Imagine the freight charge for 300kgs!!! Nice concept, but you'd want to inspect before you shelled out $12k on this lot.

the listing:

Postage:
Free Local Pickup

Will arrange for local pickup only (no postage).
NO PICK UP'S ALLOWED it is not an option under any circumstance unless stated, we do combine postage.
Postage can be arranged via courier at your own cost.

and so on
and they say that they are a business??

i'm seeing a lot of kangaroos in there - at $42.66 kilo + post - wanna be good

Yes Robbiegal, I noticed the contradiction on pickup earlier.

I'd imagine they used their standard template (which probably says no pickup) and forgot to change it.

I was just amazed at the volume for a single ebay lot.

[robbiegal]

over the year I have probably sold over 300 kilos
just not all at once!

over the year I have probably sold over 300 kilos
just not all at once!

At what price? All noodled of course, yeah?

[robbiegal]

I usually list at $25 a kilo (now - used to be $20 per kilo) - a very good mix of all monarchs

I have bought from the bigger dealers and their mixed lots usually have but a handful of KGV and that being 1919, 1922's and 1936 so I always make sure that the customer gets years across the decades
I even make sure that the K.G's in the 1940 and 1941 are in the lot as well

noodle - wot's that (ha ha)

[runway]

Who would even have the cash to gamble on these off ebay no one sane would buy them
