Look at the pics and the ratings by people who have some knowledge of coins. The pic they show is a coin in excellent shape not some worn down stump that has been cleaned a zillion times. See this a lot on Amazon. Big dealers with a lot of inventory dumping unsaleable stuff on the unknowledgeable general public at a huge profit margin. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001RS1FS...dus-20&ascsubtag=pgi-P05-V01-05-X92-LO-T1R3AT
Totally agree. I was looking for some printer cartridges when the add popped up. Thought I would post it.
Remember, only take into account the coins that actually sold. Same with eBay. That will weed out most of the overpriced material.
There is a way to see what has sold on eBay including price paid. I forgot how to do that would somebody please enlighten me.
@Kelly-Bob Or you can open eBay, click on the 'advanced' search (just below the cart symbol upper right corner), then type in your desired item in a few words (where it says 'Enter keywords') and click on 'sold listings', 'auction' and 'buy it now' (leave the rest blank) + the blue search button - you will get a listing of most recent sales prices for that item & the seller's link if you want to check for additional and/or similar items: https://www.ebay.com/sch/ebayadvsearch
I've never bought a coin from amazon (too pricey) and have only made one purchase of silver bullion - in 2017, I bought a lot of 12 Johnson Matthey 1 oz. .999 silver bars for 20.48 each (silver spot was at 17.08) - average eBay price today is $20-23 each, so in retrospect it was a fair deal - Since that time, I have yet to see a reasonable asking price for any coins or bullion on amazon - their fees are just too high for sellers to make a profit at normal prices
Thanks for the post. Check out this other auction on Amazon and read it for a laugh while banging your head on the table. Is this Amazon or Alibaba!? https://www.amazon.com/BoBoLing-Mor...t=101&pf_rd_i=276799011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Look at this TERRIBLY misleading add--look at the reviews! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DB4BXG...dus-20&ascsubtag=pgi-P04-V01-05-X92-LO-T1R3AT
Both of the last two amazon ads had the same "Dear, this old Coin is made of Brass; the old Coin is plated with 925 sterling silver." same wording 'different' vendor. What's with the Dear....?..... truly weird.
