Stuart's High Grade Decimal Auctions

emu666 · May 23, 2014, 08:01:53 AM

Last Friday I listed 41 of Stuart's high grade decimal PCGS coins. Quite frankly I don't know why I bothered. There are plenty of watchers but the amount of bidding is abyssmal. If anyone is interested in them I suggest they bid earlier rather than later as by the end of the weekend I will be under pressure from management to remove those listings that are not performing.

Tonight, I will be starting an auction that features only coins graded MS68 (well almost). Every one of these coins is equal highest graded with one the sole finest.
I'm trying something else as well but am not starting it at 99c. You'll see what it is.

I think a lot more people wait until the very end to bid.I sold a coin this week that sat on less than $10 for most of the listing until about a minute from the end and eventually sold for $117 but the risk of selling low is a worry.Maybe with the end of the financial year looming people are waiting for their tax return before buying again

I bid on something. There's a limited number of collectors of this slabbed decimal stuff, I'm not sure that auctioning that much at once is going to lead to the best prices. That being said there's some awfully nice coins there.

This seller does not accept my bids lol.

ausjack · May 23, 2014, 02:55:20 PM

:laugh2: ok I'll bid for ya accu, mate you crack me up :good:

emu666 · May 23, 2014, 03:35:46 PM

Strange.
That makes two that I know of who have been unable to bid today.

Unicorn · May 23, 2014, 03:40:05 PM

Is it the ebay password change stopping them?

Accu, have you changed yours?

emu666 · May 23, 2014, 03:42:50 PM

I hope not.
During the password change I couldn't access "Selling Manager". Plus they kept asking me to change the passowrd after I had already changed it.
Selling manager is available again.

I have page views on a scheduled auction!!!
How has anyone been able to look at one that hasn't started yet?

Also when I log in I am going to the ebay home page instead of starting in selling manager.

If it's any help Feathers I can only see the 41 ending on the 26th.

(Which I assume is what I'm meant to see).

emu666 · May 23, 2014, 03:54:36 PM

Yes. There should only be 41 visible until this evening.

There actually are quite a few collectors now, proofs are more popular but there was a lot of competition for the business strikes in our last auction so they're certainly getting more popular too.

It's an auction, so the market will determine the price. Most bidders bid late. I never bid in walters auctions until the final day or during the auction itself.

This is looking very encouraging at nearly double the bluesheet value already and considering that I recently had one
come back the same grade from PCGS.

This one was from a RAM roll. All the coins we submitted that graded this well were from the one roll.

This is below our retail price for MS67 but that's life. Anyway it may yet go up.

Mine was out of a PVC mint wallet that came from the USA.A couple of others came back MS66 but I'm still hopeful that the 2 I sent over last week will be as good or better
