I need some help and will pay in barber dimes

Admin - If this is the wrong place please move it and accept my apology.

I sell brake kits on ebay. They start at $300 and go up. Ebay fees for this are high, but I can get a discount by becoming a top rated seller. I have met all requirements except I need 66 more transactions this month. I listed 66 barber dimes in a very generic form selling one at a time. Free shipping and bid is for one dime for one cent. Use the link below and place a bid if you can.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R4 ... =100&rt=nc

What can you do to help? Ebay only shows one listing until another listing has a bid of one cent. So please find a listing of mine that has no bids and bid one cent. For your time I will send you a barber dime if you are the winning bidder. Bid melt value if you want. Melt value is about $1.23. I don't care what they sell for.

I expect to sell barber dimes less than melt value, then pay ebay fees, and also pay shipping, but the discount I receive on my other items make it a good investment.

12 hours later and I'm not seeing anything under 1 cent. Looks like you make it.

Thanks guys. There are still several that have no bid. I'm not sure how all this works. Here's a list of the ones with no bids.

* edit - all coins have at least $1.00 bid

I bid on 5. Limited to 5 in a ten day period. Should have been the bottom 5 in the list above.

Ha! I bought a group of cell phone cases from you about a month ago, not realizing who it was from :lol:

eBay has a Duplicate Listing Policy about running too many identical auctions at the same time, I'd be careful with that.

In case anyone hasn't realized it yet, eBay is allowing you to be in the lead on five of these dimes. Once someone out bids one of those five you can bid on that one or another again.

gubni - i think people are having fun with this...it might not end up costing you very much!

I put in a bunch of bids on ones that did not have any bids. Why are you guys limited to 5? It let me do about 12ish and then I just got sick of bidding. Anyway, I already got outbid on most of them :(

You can only be winning 5 auctions at once.

Maybe I got outbid right away on some of them and that's why it let me do more??

There are still several below melt value for those interested and remember it's free shipping also.

Here's the best link to view them all.
