So. I took a couple day breather after my selling marathon of the last 5-6
weeks. All but a small handful of my world mint and proof sets are gone.
But that small handful was still bugging me, so I put most of what's left in
a single lot and listed it with a couple (2) of UK sets. Then I went and,
again, overpriced things :).

In addition, I decided to list the one non-trivial Bust Half duplicate I've
had for while. I purchased it "by mistake", not realizing that I had
purchased a much better example of this variety a full 2 years earlier. So
much for my crack record keeping. Note that this is an R5+ variety and thus
commands a nifty premium, even in its low grade.

So, I listed this coin as "1833 Bust Half O-115 R5+ VG10" and fiddled with
the prices on it for a couple of days. It lasted, I think, 3 days. eBay
yanked it today because I put a numeric grade in the description. Wow, I
called it a VG10!

What a waste of time. Whatever, I corrected "my mistake" and it's listed
again. I hope the 8 people watching it refind it!

Please feel free to take a look at my modest listings this week. Only 4
items, but I honestly am shocked that the multiple-set lot didn't get picked
off yet. If $50 doesn't get it sold, I'll put it all in a box (well, it's
already in a small flat-rate PM box!) and put it away. A single box down
from 2 partially filled file cabinets is good enough for me!

I hope everyone has a nice holiday.

When these dubious sellers are "self-indicting", need anybody
additional "fair warning"???
