    We all may have spent a little too much on an e-bay coin. I have noticed that ebay error coins in many cases sell for much higher values then they are worth. Slabbed error coins go even higher. Why is this so?

    Any Thoughts?

    I agree with Spotco2....but then I've gotten some really great deals on error coins as well.
    Off centers, broadstruck, blank planchtes.....struck through grease (Proof), and also where I got my 1941-S Nickel with the Inverted MM.
    Deals are few and far between---keep your eyes open and just sometimes the uneducated buyers miss a BIG one!

    Then you have the two or three educated buyers who get fixated on a single coin LOL Have any of you guy's been to a live auction, it can be quite a eye opener at times, specialy when people get auction fever :D and evilbay is no different in that respaect :) common sence goes out of the window :eek:

    People do get "auction fever". It's great if you're the seller.

    I've had items go for way too much in the past. I usually will send the winner a bonus coin and explain that they paid too much.

    Customers appreciate the honesty and remember the coin which makes them remember you as well.
