  • IMO I wouldn't stick it on eBay yet (unless you desperately need the cash). There's thousands going to be put on eBay within the next few weeks. Let the dust settle and then flog it, there'll always be someone who will want to buy it :T

    It's a tough call, to be honest.....get in quick or let the dust settle?

    The next one (at auction) to end (just after 8:30 tonight) is already at over a grand :eek:

    no one is going to pay that - are they? do you think it is someone just pushing the price up?

    Well someone (bidder 25) placed successive bids to beat bidder 23 who had bid £1000.

    Whether bidder 25 (or bidder 23, for that matter) is a genuine purchaser or not, who can tell.

    LOL,...and bidder 17 is now on the case.

    Very interesting, indeed.

    totally unrealistic pricing....I doubt very much that this batch of 20,000 coins are collectively worth £20million+

    A colleague at work has been collecting new design 20p coins 'for his daughter' for a few months now. I wonder how many he's got.:rolleyes:

    Ever since Bidder 17 got involved at £185, no-one with a feedback score of higher than 1-9 has bid, so it's more than likely not going to be genuine bids.

    Worse thing for the seller, will be the eBay fees and then not being paid by the buyer, possibly.
