    Nice bars. Got a couple questions.
    What's the conditions for the auction?
    How you going to deal with the lack of trading history?
    Good luck.;)

    Hi guys im sorry its my first time here.

    This auction has no ending time I just want to know if someone is interessted.

    I would make the transaction as transparent as possible.

    I prefer € but you can place your bits in any currency you want.

    There will be interest in these, no problem.
    But you need a finish time.
    Start the auction at spot, run it for a week. Finish it at 7pm or so.
    Specify postage, offer to post first to established members.

    So you're in Austria but selling to Australians? Might want to include postage charges too

    Like Penguin said, an auction needs an end time

    Sounds like you're wanting best offer, which is completely different to an auction

    For your own benefit, clarify everything you want. And are you happy to post first as you have no trading history

    In all seriousness... 2200AUD is my offer but you ship first. Once the goods arrive, payment is remitted in any standard method you prefer.

    image.png Thank you all for your offers.

    one month ago a 10 oz bar was sold on ebay for 847,00 AU.

    I hope to achieve a price near to that.

    Please do not make offers much lower than that.

    Im from Austria and a face to face would be the best for me.

    You're not going to get anywhere near eBay prices on here, most of us live in Australia not Austria so face to face is impossible

    They will sell on here no problems, just not at the price you see on eBay, if you want a quick sale and no fees and less hassles sell them here, they just need to be priced to sell, and as a first time seller be prepared to send first to established members

    dolomite has made a very solid offer already - you probably should get in touch with him if you are serious about selling.

    Im serious about selling them, otherwise I wouldnt put them in here, but I thought I could reach a price like 2000,00 Euros which is still lower than ebay.

    Never saw a 20oz like that somewhere.

    Just remember that eBay takes 10% of the sale, and then Paypal takes another 3% so you'd be paying 13% in fees where as selling to a member here incurs no fees and less hassle

    $2200 seems like a solid offer

    Either way, you would need to post the items first and then once received by the buyer they would then make payment. This will be expected as you have not dealt with anyone here before

    So, you either try your luck on eBay with the associated fees etc or sell all 3 piece in 1 easy trade to a trusted member here

    Good Luck with whatever you decide :)

    Thank you guys very much for all this information i will keep this offer in mind but i think i wait for better offers.

    Someone wrote me a private Message here, he is in Austria and he likes to buy them on a face to face transaction in vienna. Maybe thats the best way to sell them otherwise i will put them on ebay.

    I wish I was some collector of old Silver bars but its just a waste to keep these beautys here.
