[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 7809, member: 487"]Now I am trying to understand this logic, so take a moment to pass along a little insight. I hear very frequently from several of the members here how nice it is to sell your coins on Ebay as you can get better prices for your holdings than if you were to sell to a dealer. I also hear from many of you that Ebay is such a great place to pick up coins at levels far cheaper than dealers are offering their coins. Bargains galore await the bidder. I often here from many of you that prices realized on Ebay should be factored into retail price guides. So if the combination of high selling prices, and low selling prices are both true, how can this be a good thing? How can all this be true? I very rarely hear that some regular dealer has deals that are far below market. Now my firm sells to a handful of Ebay dealers who make money on the coins they buy from us. I am not trying to knock Ebay. I am just trying to figure out if it is better suited for the dealer or the buyer.[/QUOTE]
