I’m Joe Kocian a WBCC member and thought you might find it of interest that I will be selling on eBay a large chunk of my bi-metallic collection. I am not leaving the WBCC; it is just a matter of today’s economics. I will start listing my items March 23, 2010 and will add to the auction daily. I have over 250 items that I hope will receive a good home. Most will have No Reserve and start at $0.99 US. To find me on eBay my ID is: CVI-USA contact me via email at jkocian@cvi-usa.com if you have a question. Best of luck and Enjoy!
