It’s important to be in sync with the Proxibid technology to showcase your photos, hone your lot descriptions, and highlight your consignments for top bids on the leading portal! In the latest installment, Proxiblog laments and compliments best and bad auctioneer lot descriptions during the past week. We will name the best, but you will have to search Proxibid for the bad. (Click pictures to expand and view lot descriptions below.)
One Big Booyah! to SilverTowne’s Dave Nauert for identifying flaws in this otherwise attractive coin.
Boo! to this unnamed auction house maintaining this bagmarked slider is a super gem. If you don’t know how to grade, don’t hype.
One Big Boo and then Booyah! (or several) to this auction house that featured a fake California gold piece and then retracted it when informed. Watch for a post on this soon.
Boo! to this unnamed auction house for hyping ridiculously high this common silver lot worth $28-30 and not thousands.
Boo! to this auction house that has the nerve to label what may be the ugliest flawed silver melt dollar “an investment.” The $19.95 shipping rate is about the worth of this coin.
Boo! to this auction company that doesn’t know where to look for the mint mark. Bidders can rob consignors blind when this happens, and it happens too often.
Boo! to this long-time Proxibid auction house that refuses to show both sides of a coin. Would you buy a car, or any item, if you saw only half of it?
Booyah Traders Cottage! for noting this Peace dollar is polished. Always note flaws, and gain trust with bidders.
Booyah Jewelry Exchange! for noting this coin has been cleaned, often hard to cipher from online photos.
Booyah Liberty Shops Auction! for taking the time to note varieties on coins, which add to value.
Booyah Southwest Bullion and Coin! for taking the time to note values on lots, using the right price guide for the coin in question.
Viewers can point us to other candidates for our “Boos & Booyahs!” series. Just leave a comment but follow our rules–all in good fun as a way to inspire accurate lot descriptions on Proxibid.
