+paulandstacey Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) Hello folks, once upon a time I was quite a coin hound and amassed a nice little shiny collection. I have continued caching but so rarely look at my coins, etc that I was thinking of selling some/most. I have activated and unactivated coins that I am thinking of selling to lessen the clutter, but also to fund a new gps (as our poor maggie 500 may be on it's last legs) prior to GWS. What's the best way to do this? I don't want to break any rules or offend anyone, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks fo any help! Edited May 17, 2011 by Flying Spaghetti Monster Quote
+mpilchfamily Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 You can offer them here or sell them on ebay. If you go ebay you probably won't have much luck selling the activated coins. So its best to list those here. Go ahead and list them in this thread rather then starting a new thread. Just ask a mod to update the thread title for you to reflect that you have coins to sell.

+goosefraba1 Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 It seems as though many people are selling off their collections these days thanks tonthe economy/loss of interest. The three ways that I have seen have been.... Listing them in the pinned topic.... Making a list in your own topic (as long as they are trackable).... And of Course auctioning them on the eplace. Hope you get a nice new GPSr! Quote
+paulandstacey Posted May 16, 2011 Author Posted May 16, 2011 So, should I list them with prices or just list them and see what people offer? And I'm guessing people still prefer unactivated? Quote
+the4dirtydogs Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 I always prefer for them to be listed WITH prices and you should mention which are activated. I hate *guessing* what someone may think is a fair price for their coin. You can always adjust the prices as time goes on if they don't sell. I personally don't mind purchasing activated coins if they are reasonably priced and you adopt them over in a timely manner. I've ended up with some pretty rare coins that way. Quote
+Droo Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) There have been several ways of doing it lately. There have been those who list what they want to sell and ask for bids, the sale going to the highest bidder. Google docs was used to post what the highest bid so far is. Keep in mind that the forum is only used to announce the auction not to conduct it. Then there is the posting all of the coins with what you'd hope to get for them. Listing all coins by what you'd expect to get for them is an easy way to sort through them. Multiple interests in the same coin can either go to the first email you received or you can contact all interested parties to solicit bids with the coin going to the highest, most interesting bid, most creative begging etc. The sky's the limit and you get to choose how you want to play it. The only restriction is that only trackables are allowed to be posted for sale. Those that don't attract new homes can then be listed on Ebay. OR you can go straight to Ebay though posting here first will move a bunch right away. Edited May 16, 2011 by Droo Quote
+Eartha Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 You may only list the trackable ones for sale. The others can be traded in the pinned trading thread. The forum guidelines are also pinned. Quote
+paulandstacey Posted May 16, 2011 Author Posted May 16, 2011 got any of the older doggie coins? ILYK Do you mean coins with a dog on it or is there a specific coin? Quote
