My Success Reselling Coins from the U.S. Mint on eBay

January 31, 2021

It’s been a while since I wrote about reselling. In the past, I’ve sold concert tickets and items using Amazon FBA. The main reason I try different reselling techniques is to help meet spending requirements on credit cards. Sometimes, you can make a nice profit too.

December 27, 2020
