https://www.ebay.com/itm/1649671409...=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Does this seem like it is a real auction? The price is off the scale. The comment says it is an ms63 when the slab says ms66. The winner has 50% of his bids with this single seller...
The comment is probably just a typo. Everywhere else in the listing correctly says 66. As for the bids, I'd consider shill bidding a possibility with that bid ratio.
That's a big dealer in London so they have a good following. I would suspect there are people that mostly bid on just his auctions before jumping to the shill bidding theory.
The winner has 50% of his bids with this single seller... How did you get THAT information? There was a single bidder (among others) who was just increasing his bid by $6 or so to make up a 50-100 discrepancy. How do you know how 1 bidder buys things from a single seller.
The coin market is hot, especially with nicer higher end coins. Also being in London you're dealing with a conversion rate from pounds to dollars for the price youre seeing. Nice NZ coins dont exactly grow on trees Who cares. Put in your price and if it goes over it goes over.
This is cool. I've never seen this stat screen before. That said, looks like he's made 6 bids in 30 days and two with the same seller. Currently 33%. Hardly seems suspicious at these low numbers. There is one particular seller that when he drops auctions I'll bid on several items, like a dozen. 2/6 is nothing. Now 50 bids out of 55 would be a little whack.
I know that bid information from buyers was available until 3-4 years ago, but I thought that it had ceased. Maybe, if you are a seller, then you can still get it, but I'm not a seller. Thanks for the info.
the thing is the price is out of sight and the biding was rapid and fierce. It is hard to reconcile with the value of the coin. I could be misunderstanding.
It's a top pop example of a popular series that can be tough in gem grades. That price seems pretty reasonable to me considering the current state of the market.
Guessing if The first bid was like 200 dollars. If you keep out bidding him by 5 dollars. It won’t get real for you till you go over 200 bucks. Guessing
