Well Ive actually done it !   took me ages, but trying E bay for the Irish Edward coin I found last year and featured in the Treasure Hunter.

Trouble is its on the last day (finishes tomorrow morning) and not one person has given a penny !    I have 8 people watching, but maybe Ive over-priced it.?????

Worried now !!!  lol   

Take care

Hi H

Dont worry too soon. It's very often the case that people watch items to see how the biddings going and then jump in right at the end.
Fingers crossed. ;D

Val

ebay is wierd.i put an asustrailan florin on there with no reserve and it went to 8 quid by the last day,when i woke up in the morning it had sold for 160 :o

fingers are crossed heather.hope it does well love.

Well I've just had a look for it and can't actually find it on there ??? Have you got a link?

I just had a look and I would hazard a guess that the starting price may be too high.

From my experience its far better to lure bidders in with a low start and let them build the price by competing with each other.

I would also add that you have a low feedback score, which buyers tend to mistrust. Its a bit of a catch 22 there though.

I have not sold any coins on ebay, but plenty of antiques and collectables in the past.

Good luck with it
Neil

Have you got a link Neil....Pllllllease

I agree with Neil.......I dont understand it, but, you always put a starting price of 99p

Perhaps it's because it's described as Edward 1 and not Edward I.
Yes it was hard to find but best of luck with it anyway.

Don't worry Heather I am a watcher i will bid :o :o :o

 :o dopey me not putting the right name lol

My feedback is low because I have only sold a few times and I think one of those was my son - But good comments - baffles me eBay

Anyway thanks Dave :) for being one of my watchers - I now have a bid of £80 so really pleased :) unless he / she changes his / her mind lol

Thanks for the advice Neil -I tried a few coin people and they gave me a very low figure so just thought I'd give it a go - so stressful though lol

I know I'll just be watching it all night lol

Take care

H

i think you will get around £120 - £130 for it , its a lovely coin

its going up heather. ;D

it is a belter ....£83 now.......... ;D

I tried being a 'watcher' and putting a bid on something my Son was selling. I ended up with a mint condition mud guard that I had to pay for plus postage.
Wont do that again. :-[ ;D

Val

 >:( lol  val you are so funny !

Relieved now - mike don't think it will reach that but wow if it does

Thanks again for the support from Dw guys and gals :  ;)

H

bit of a tip for ebay ,start end end your listing so that they end on the weekend  ;)

And have it ending  in the evening , so those in work are home in time for last min bidding :) i have let things go for half than what they worth due to this, and had people messaging me asking if i sold the item as they missed it .....as they were in work .

Thanks for all the advice - if I manage to do it again I shall certainly get it to finish at night - just so relieved that I have a bid !

H

Way to go H.  Well done, it beat the £100 mark after all.  Told you not to worry, didn't I. ::) ;D ;D

Val

O M G !!!

just come home from horses and i cant believe it went over £100 !!!   Farmer John will be pleased !    How amazing is that ! and also had 32 people watching it. LOL

Horses will be pleased too !   :D :D

Thanks again- and yes Val, you told me so !   ;D ;D
