| 6152 | the seller pinched that 1947 florin off me! I was watching it on ebay, and the cheeky swine must have asked the seller for a buy now! dtpapa - 2015-05-05 20:04:00 |
| 6153 | Welcome to the Coin Club. We are an assortment of newbies and oldbies, amateurs and experts with questions and answers for oldbies and newbies, amateurs and experts in coin collecting, also known as numismatics. Whether you are just getting started, have been collecting for years or have simply found some old coins about the place that you’d like to sell, this is the place to ask your questions. No one has all the answers, and you may get five differing answers to the same question, yet each may be right in a manner of speaking, especially if opinions are involved. Opinions often vary. If you receive no answer to your query within 48 hours, please ask again. alpha111 - 2015-05-06 08:02:00 |

| 6155 | Hi everyone, I have a large jar of coins (weighing over 5kg) I want to sell, but don't know where to start. I have had them for years, there are all sorts in there, sixpence half pennies and pennies. Huge amount of 5cents and 10c 20c. I would like to sell as one lot. I have no interest in coins. This has been used as a doorstop for years. Any ideas of an asking price please? Thank you lilymunster - 2015-05-06 10:43:00 |

It's a really hard one to answer without knowing what's in it - and it's possible the time taken to count it all out might not be worth your while. If you're willing to take the risk you could try listing with a $1 start and see how far bidders are ready to go - though there's always the possibility you'll wind up letting it go for just that $1 if no-one bites. Working out and approximate face value and listing at a proportion of that might be another option, depending how much time you want to spend on it. translateltd - 2015-05-06 15:16:00 |
| 6157 | Thank you. Will take to a local coin shop lilymunster - 2015-05-06 17:20:00 |
| 6158 | Hello all. Do any of you send coins internationally and how do you send your coins? Do you use NZ Post or another carrier? Have you found the prices of posting your coins reasonable? sgtbarnes - 2015-05-06 21:51:00 |

Well done on hitting the 1000 feedbacks, btw! (And good on you for keeping away from the "coin-like objects" that aren't really :-) ) translateltd - 2015-05-07 08:37:00 |

How come this seller is not in trade? When he is 'Tauranga NZ Coin Dealers'. alpha111 - 2015-05-09 10:06:00 |

he's not much of a coin dealer to let that lovely Bahama go for such a low price. He should learn from some of the other "not in trade" resellers, who buy stuff off ebay and resell at huge profits. I won't name them, but there is one who at the moment is trying to sell a 1941 penny purchased off ebay for 1.50 USD for a mere 120 NZD!!!

Assuming the item is actually worth $120 (that's a call I'm not making), then there's surely nothing wrong with seizing the opportunity, especially in an auction environment where the eBay seller was not misled or ripped off. Anyone wanting it cheaper should have been bidding on "the other place" in the first place. translateltd - 2015-05-09 13:06:00 |
| 6184 | I sold a job lot of medals a few years back for a very low unit price and I've seen them re-listed individually since then at 20-30 times the purchase amount. It's a free market and good luck to them. translateltd - 2015-05-09 13:13:00 |
| 6185 | it's brown and has a noticeable rim dent. It would be worth no more than $20, at a stretch. I've noticed some novice buyers pay a premium for a highly graded (usually by NGC) penny or half penny, even though the coin is brown, or mostly (BN or RB). You can get these cheap from that "other place". It may be a "free market" but that doesn't mean it is okay to take advantage of dimwits. Yeah, they may well have more money than brains, but that doesn't make it okay to rip them off! dtpapa - 2015-05-09 13:59:00 |
| 6186 | I notice that the NZ Post website is now saying the ANZAC 50 cent coin rolls and commemorative packs have sold out. Still selling the proof version though. justinian1 - 2015-05-09 14:09:00 |
| 6187 | yup, they all sold out. NZ post allowed some bastards to have up to 100 rolls, which they are selling at that "other place" for a massive profit. So much for the spirit of Anzac! Edited by dtpapa at 2:20 pm, Sat 9 May dtpapa - 2015-05-09 14:19:00 |

As I said, I wasn't commenting on the validity of the price currently being claimed, just the general principle of 'buy low, sell high(er)'. We'd all seize the opportunity if we could, though hopefully without overcharging at the second step ... Edited by translateltd at 2:33 pm, Sat 9 May translateltd - 2015-05-09 14:28:00 |
| 6189 | if you are "in trade" then the CGA applies. But what about resellers who are not? What can a buyer do if a coin, described as uncirculated, turns out not to be? I've no problem with the principle of "buy low, sell high" as long as the item is described accurately. It is clear though that many sellers have little clue as to what uncirculated is, or cleaned, means. dtpapa - 2015-05-09 14:45:00 |

| 6191 | Why is it not your problem? What a poor attitude to take. If you were selling on behalf then that should have been extra motivation to get as good a price as possible. dtpapa - 2015-05-09 17:57:00 |

| 6195 | Sadly, the NZ market is a relatively close one (even allowing that we can sell to Oz), with not as much demand as on the international stage. That's part of what's so frustrating about TM allowing international sellers to come into our already limited market, but failing to give folks in NZ (and Oz) a crack at selling in the other direction. Our sales prices will only fall as a result of this. And so I continue to refrain almost entirely from buying and selling. Way to dig a hole and jump in it TM! echoriath - 2015-05-10 17:59:00 |
| 6196 | Excuse me echoriath - you say you are not buying or selling on TM; on the other hand you blame others for declining prices ? Does not compute .... Cheers Peter funho1 - 2015-05-10 18:17:00 |
| 6197 | Fair point to a point. I'm not participating for several reasons, including that TM is allowing the market to be flooded with products from people not in NZ (or Oz), which is itself crashing prices. TM also fails to allows sellers based in NZ or Oz to sell in any other markets, which further suppresses potential returns for those sellers. In response to that, I am not participating. You are correct, I am not helping to solve the problem. But then, I did not create the problem. And TM does not see that there are numerous problems. Which is yet another problem. And then there are TM's ongoing software problems...... echoriath - 2015-05-10 18:22:00 |
| 6198 | Honestly, with respect to buying, I've largely cut back because the quality of what's available has suffered considerably in the last year or so. I thought it was a temporary ebb and flow thing, but the tide has been out for a while. The sad truth is, the few things worth buying often end up being bargains because there is so much chaff amongst the wheat. echoriath - 2015-05-10 18:36:00 |
| 6199 | I wonder if the would be seller of the 1874 trade dollar will get back to us with an accurate weight before auction end? dtpapa - 2015-05-10 20:29:00 |
| 6200 | Yeah, I did not even bother looking at that or watchlisting it. echoriath - 2015-05-10 20:38:00 |
