good luck mate

pleased to see it is well over the $200

Well, it, unfortunately did not meet the reserve I had set of $600 USD. If anyone is  interested in this for $560 USD shipped, I'll let it go, otherwise I'll throw it back into the safe for a bit.

Cheers,

Matt

Yes, I was taken aback when I saw that. I put in a couple of bids but not knowing the reserve was off-putting and a stopped bidding.

Hidden reserves are one of my pet hates, Right up there with buyers premiums.
When buying or selling on eBay I prefer to participate in a no reserve auction or a fixed price listing.
A no reserve auction will attract more bidders and create more interest and there is always "Wriggle Room" with a fixed price listing.
As soon as I find out there is a hidden reserve I either pull my bids or just stop bidding because most of the reserves are unrealistic and I hate wasting my time.

I clearly stated there was a modest reserve, and I had Buy it Now price.  Oh well.

Just my opinion but i think around US$500 is probably a more realistic figure so US$560 is getting close to the mark for someone who wants a decent 1915.
I'm surprised one of the Oz. dealers that Post/read here haven't showed an interest as it would surely be a quick flip of around A$1000 to their clientele,it just shows,as others have mentioned,its a depressed market at the moment.

Thanks for all your help, everyone.  I have accepted an offer on this coin in a private sale. I appreciate all the input you offered.

Cheers,

Matt
