Completed listings shows it last closed at £155 so I suspect, whatever the seller ID, she's now so familiar people are happy to have a bit of fun at her expense. Who here remembers the slightly faulty decimal coin she asked a million for because she wanted to buy a chippy? 3 Quote

Yes ,a testoon there are very few around these days and few in good grade a pretty iconic coin really as the price tag shows. They tended not to get buried in hoards because they were debased silver , good silver drives out bad. Any that circulated circulated till they were like washers Quote

Martinminerva Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 Maybe so! But I'm sure it will reappear at some point in the future, along with some more utter cock and bull. Quote
Sword Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 It's a bit more than that. Even the previous listing of the same item has also been removed. True, it might be back with a new seller's ID though. Quote

I've recently been selling a number of coins, and it takes quite a bit of time to photo them, process the pictures, set up the auction page and load the photos onto it. To do all this, and then try and charge idiotic prices, which virtually guarantees failure to sell, seems incredibly stupid to me. Yes, I know just one sale could make it worthwhile, but is such a sale realistic? I have my doubts. 1 Quote

ozjohn Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 *MINT* PF63, 1911 King George V Silver PROOF Coronation Florin / 2 Shilling, NGC | eBay The coin's not too bad but GBP 70 plus 10% GST to send it to Australia. That's why I like to buy directly from a dealer as you do not pay Australian GST up to $1000 coin value and you can negotiate on the freight. Quote

That's why I like to buy directly from a dealer as you do not pay Australian GST up to $1000 coin value and you can negotiate on the freight. Shipping cost is a tricky one for the vendor. Up to £250 is not a problem because it comes within the affordable table of charges for the regular mail. Go over that and you are looking at insured parcels which will typically cost £40+ as a minimum whether you use the postal service or a courier, leaving you with the choice to either lie on the customs form and not be insured for full value, or declare its full value with the attendant costs. If I'm shipping across the world to someone I have never dealt with before, I know which option I will offer. In the case of the above, surely it is easier for you to be invoiced for a shipping included value from the seller directly rather than through ebay's system, which is clunky at best, often collects tax on behalf of the destination country, but frequently charges the wrong duty rates (e.g. see Jerry's dealing with ebay/HMRC and I was once charged 20% vat on a book!). A shipping included amount would save the 10% GST, but there is no obvious way to avoid the heavy shipping costs other than by under-declaring the value. Quote
ozjohn Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 Most of the coins I collect are under GBP 250 and I have found the mail service between the UK and Australia pretty secure. As long as you keep under the $AU 1000 things seem to arrive without any issues. The other week I received a coin from the UK that was opened by customs claiming biological protection . They resealed the package and sent it on its way. On ebay you see some very high freight costs sometimes more than the article in question and you have to think this is not helping E commerce. Quote
