So I have 10 of these critters that might need to be sold soonish, and need to gauge a price. Just on some basic searches on Ebay, it seems that they are fetching 70ish quite easily, which doesn't quite match up with what they go for here. Even though I would prefer to trade through the forums, it seems that even with the fees I would be better off putting them on Ebay. Has anyone sold any of these recently and if so what are they going for in the real world?
Yeah I saw the thread where they were $55 today... to me there is no point selling them here for that when there seems to be an appetite for them on Ebay... asmuch as I hate using that site :/
Last ones I can see on eBay are $55.50 and $57.00 (plus postage) Where did you get the $70+ from? The overseas ones?
The wholesale price is $55 each. If I bought a roll to resell I would be gouging you guys $60 each Would sit too long on the shelves if I asked more.
Yeah I just hit completed listings... lots of overseas, I am happy to ship to USA to get the best price.
for every one you sell on ebay will pay at least 7-8% of the total transaction charge in fees, so if you fetch $600 for the 10, add $17 postage =$617 your ebay fees would be $43 suddenly you have sold them for $56 each. then if paypal gets involved you can say goodbye to another 2.4%, so you can see the economics of selling on here and also you help out a fellow stacker
I saw them going $70 on feebay but that price has only been for about 4 or 5 coins. If you suddenly dumped like 50 on feebay all at once you'd probably suppress prices.
I am all for selling to a fellow stacker, but if wholesale for steve is 55 selling them here for that isnt just being nice, its bordering on a gift. I will have to do my sums on an ebay listing when I get home.
+ youll need to go registered to avoid losing everything... thats what? $14 + $1 for the bubble --- $15 registered postage should see that $70 you were hoping for a pipe-dream. Not sending via regsitered OS is to open yourself up to a whole lotta hurt. But i agree with original poster that $55 is far to cheap.. i saw $65 today on the (fee)bay with 4 days to go (us$), and how can an Ox sell for $65 if a Tiger is just $55?.. somethings not right there ... having said that those non-coloured Ox's are mad-rare.. wonder if perth-mint will re-release those also to destroy the secondary market like they did the lunar Mice.. (thanks for that.. i wanted to buy mice around 2 years later for cheaper than i originally paid).. I do have the info on if these reached the 300k limited first time round (laugh/cry) 1for1
I was never expecting $70 in my hand anyway, just a fair price. Yeah I wont part with then for that much I need money for a 2month trip, but not that badly. I love Silver Stackers, but tbh its not always the place to get the best price. Anyway, did some quick sums.... ebay final value fee is 7.9%, postage for $29.75 for registered post+ sig on delivery to the USA for 10oz's. So lets say $680 (free postage) on 10 coins gives me 53.72+29.75= $83.47.... Then the paypal conversion rip offs etc etc so really to get close to $60 a coin (which imo is more fair) it needs to be closer to $690 for 10, which is plausible but a bit iffy, even on Ebay.
Offer up 10 for 600 plus postage (which you can do for 6.50 flat rate satchel). You might get a taker. I'd say that's about right.
Yeah the cheapest you could send 1 coin domestically in Australia would be $4.20 - - - > being $1.20 for the large envelope rate and then $3.00 to register it. But usually you charge a postage price around $7.00 or so on feebay just to milk it a bit more !
Is there any interest at paying $950 for a 1/2kg lunar tiger coin here? Rare as hen's teeth but a bit pricey. Exactly the same size as the 1kg coin but half the thickness. I can source one from my suppliers if anyone is interested
Prepaid Registered envelopes are $3.10 if you buy them in lots of 10. They can take up to 250g and 5mm thick, I have sent up to 4 1 oz coins in one of these many times cheers
