FA: 1909 S/S Lincoln Cent PCGS MS-65 RD PQ

One of my old customers just upgraded this coin with a MS-66 for tons
of $$$. Traded this one in to a dealer at the FUN show and I bought it
from the dealer. Both the dealer and I feel that the trade-in is as
nice as the PCGS MS-66. See for youself. Rest assured that the overdate
mint mark only costs about $100 more than the plain vanilla 1909-S
lincoln of the same grade although is much scarcer. This one is really
breathtaking.

With the quality of your wares and being that you are established as a
dealer - why do you not just create your own web site and avoid Ebay?
Just curious.

I'm willing to bet that the answer will be traffic, ebay will get a lot more
potential buyers than his own web site, making ebay well worth the fees.

Good question. I never have enough material in inventory to justify my
own website. It would always appear as if I had little or no inventory.
I buy only high end pieces and these are NOT plentiful on the bourse of
any show. Sure, I could be lots of pricely gold, but I don't do wel
with gold so I don't stock it for inventory.

Usually, when I'm back from a major show, I sell out in 3-5 weeks and
then I'm at another show to restock. eBay gives me the exposure I need
even if I have only one item in stock! In addition, I have substantial
private sales to old customers who need particular items that I take
care of regularly. So although I buy these items, they stay with me
only 3-6 days.

I kind of figured the traffic - but was unsure of the inventory method.

Yet, given the higher quality of the coins I've seen you sell, it just
seems odd you haven't created a simple site with A) an explanation of
what you wrote above re-worded in an "about this site" format, B)
current coins, C)want list/contact form page and maybe D) some
informative writing on your specialties.

If I remember correctly, in fact, I went on a WWW search once just to
see what I might find...

Thanks for the reply.
