Looking for advice, I recently purchased a Franklin mint coin sets from all nations 4 volumes 159 cards. It was my intent to buy and sell off a few cards to get my money back. Well I put a few on eBay which I have never actually sold anything on and don't really know how it all works. Anyway I posted about 8 hours ago and received 2 offers for 90. Question is if you were me would you accept. There are currently 0 bids. So if I would not accept an the auction ran it's course I could risk losing money?
200. But from what I see if I accepted offer then there's like 6 more cards I should have to sell and then I would get the rest for free. Greed gets in the way though.
Also both bids ship to the same place in California so it's the same person. But at the same time it says 4 are watching but still 0 actual bids.
It is all about the math, how much did you pay? How much are they worth? And I be careful as the Franklin mint produced how many sets? And again it is the Franklin mint not the US mint or any other country where there is a solid value for a coin. Lastly greed will shoot you in the foot 9 times out of ten! A bird in hand....so to speak.
Yes selling them separate. I am not sure on value yet I have been going on eBay getting recent sold prices for cards I can find with matching dates.
I believe the China set is the most overvalued in this series but be advised it's not at all unusual that the most overvalued becomes even more overvalued. It could go up far higher. I would suggest if any of the coins in this set are virtually perfect that you retain it but if each has even the smallest flaw that you go ahead and sell it. You could split it up, too, but the coins will bring less out of the set. China circulating issues are scarcer the farther back you go. Early-'80's aren't all that tough.
ne problem is I believe there are two versions of the China page, one contains some proofs and the other doesn't. One is valuable and the other not so much, but I don't know which is which.
