RR,

Are you still making a decent profit at $40?

Just got $40 from a spunky buyer. He offered me a lowball offer of $25, and I came back with a $45 counter offer since that was my reserve. He offered $40, and who can say no to a buyer with guts like that?

There are many wrecks to look for. Currently searching for both the wrecks at American shoal, and bahia Honda. There is so much still here it would blow minds if we were allowed to dig in !!

Not sure about the oceans, but it looks like on land the old time treasure hunters had a free hand all over the world up until the last part of the last cenntury.
Now everone jumps in to claim something found, or close off areas.

RR,

Seeing how I got the item in a trade for free, yes.

 

[RustyRelics]

My word of advice, don't buy off of ebay. Sellers are ruthless, dishonest, and cheaters. In a way, you have to price things high if you want to get past the fees, plus the sellers are looking for a profit. Don't buy from me, lol! I only sell it, if I bought it for REALLY cheap, or nothing at all.

 

[bill from lachine]

RR,

You can make money on EBay either buying or selling the trick is you need a game plan. Me and the missus buy postage stamps for resale, however, we have a short list of sellers that we frequent that buy and sell via auction in large volumes.

We resell to fellow stamp collectors at a couple of clubs we belong to. We don't get rich but it makes us a bit of extra cash over the year say $5,000 or so in profit.

Here's an example a used copy of a Vatican stamp from the 1930's. Cataloged at $37.50 we'll sell it at 1/3 catalog or $12.50 we paid $3.34 so not a bad deal.

Most dealers would sell that stamp for 50% or more of catalogue so the collector wins also, the thing is we don't have any overhead and we don't need the money to put food on the table so we're not greedy.
