Ebay#160472821490, recognized this taler from the boston world coin auction on Heritage. Total with fees 1265.00 give or take? Now just 2 weeks later it is up on Ebay starting at 1400.00 or buy it now for 2400.00.
good eye .... seems like business as usual to me. Buy low sell high Remember the vast majority of coin collectors have never heard of Heritage much less follow a coin auction , but on the other hand ebay is ebay
Don't forget... with eBay fees, $1400 is break even. After fees, $1400 is about $1265 or so (maybe a little more).
Never ceases to amaze me why people would buy expensive coins on Ebay. I am not talking a great deal, but just a regular price. Hmmm, do I want to pay $1000 for a coin from CNG and have their tag and recorded sale, or buy an Ebay piece. Well everyone knows anything bought on Ebay is guaranteed genuine. I buy group lots on Ebay and make money. Every once in a while I will buy an individual coin at a good price, and I buy quite a few books there. Any kind of serious money for a coin goes to a serious firm, with documentation. I wonder if Ebay would let me write a guidebook on that for buyers?
