[QUOTE="VistaCruiser69, post: 4529887, member: 107016"]Just for chits & giggles, I Googled the value of the 1965 American Quarter. Found some really funny stuff. Here's one for sale for $2,500 USD. LOL. I've read lots of comments on this forum about coin information on platforms such as youtube, ebay, etsey(something like that). I've been trying to figure out why individuals are attempting to sell coins worth face value for literally hundreds, even thousands percent over face value of the coins in question. I come to the conclusion that one of two things are going on with such ads. I have a personal friend who owns and operates a pawn shop. When customers default on their loans he calls me up and asks me if I'm interested in purchasing such n such items. I've bought some really nice automotive tools from him in the past, air compressors, and even great power lawn equipment. I've been in his place of business a few times over the years while people are bringing in their stuff for loan or sale. A lot of times years ago, he'd go on ebay and get an idea how much items are worth and base what he gives them in loan value or purchase price for whatever it is they have brought in wanting to sell or get a loan against. So I'm thinking that all anyone has to do is go on one of these selling platforms, falsely inflate the prices of items, and then turn around and try and use that as a reference when trying to sell the items in person to someone, like in a pawn shop and such. The only other possibility that I can come up with is a person would click the "buy it now" just for the heck of it and the individuals who are running the ads can then try and hack into the person's financial records and take their money via the internet. There's got to be some type of scam for trying to sell a 1965 well-circulated 1965 Quarter for $2,500.00.
