Too Good to be True (eBay)?

Recommended Posts

I can’t speak for this particular coin, but I did something very similar just recently when listing an Elizabeth Lis penny on eBay. 
I couldn’t decide which way to bat with it (buy it now with best offer, or auction) and ended up going with auction, thinking it would find its price!

It sat at .99p for a week, with people watching and then leaving…I guess thinking that it wasn’t genuine, I don’t know?

Anyway, point is, it sold for £82 and, when it did, I had three emails offering me more, with one person saying £200, which is more or less what I thought I’d get for it.

Really difficult to know what to do when using psychology to sell on eBay…sometimes it works to good effect, on other occasions it bombs!

I’m not calling this coin at all, but sometimes the genuine articles do turn up with a .99p start!

Maybe not this one, though????

Nothing odd jumps out about it. Looks genuine to me. Class IVa with the extra I after the R of Rex. 

Sellers got feedback for a few sold Norman  coins one registered with PAS.

Thanks. Another short cross expert said it looked fine too so I did bid, but lost out at £312.99. Didn’t surprise me that it went for that much though. 
 

I’ll just have to be content with my cut half from the same dies for now.

They've never been cheap. I paid double that for mine nearly 14 years ago, albeit in a decent grade.
