<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vegas Vic, post: 2007904, member: 58810&quot;]I totally agree that the bulk of the ebay coins are way overpriced. however you basically just said the exact same thing about the dealers at the show you just went to.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>(I&#039;m experimenting with the colors)</p><p><br /></p><p>my experience is almost all coins offered in any venue are overpriced. now I don&#039;t mean over grey. I mean over the over grey they would sell at in another venue.</p><p>so we are totally on the same page about many coins being &quot;overvalued&quot; by the dealers.</p><p><br /></p><p>and I cant say with 100% confidence that ebay will lose its coin market. but I do know a couple things. the number of us coin lots and the number of pcgs/ngc coins has risen considerably over the last few years. but what I would debate is that it doesn&#039;t take a huge amount of time to find no reserve auctions. you can filter your search to <span style="color: #00b300">only</span> show no reserve auctions. further, when I want to find a pretty ihc I filter for only proof, toned pcgs and ngc ihc. I said proof because they usually have better toning then the mint state. but call me a coin bigot if you want. my point is the 150,000 pcgs and ngc coins can be pared down to a couple hundred in seconds. a few hundred is like maybe 3-4 screens at 50 each. takes me about 3 minutes to look over all the toned graded ihc that ebay has to offer. if I want to add mint state add another 5 minutes.</p><p><br /></p><p>if you had to go over each and every ebay listing I would never login. but like I said you can filter down to what you want and search a whole lot more coins then at a show. right now I can look at 182 proof ihc in pcgs or ngc and do it in about what 3 minutes. how many proof ihc were at the show? my point is that with the right tools the online markets offer more varity with greater ease of access. and that is just ebay. there are a lot of secondary coin markets like gc, ha and dlrc.</p><p>so yes online line coins are usually overpriced but as you said so are the show ones. the reason I like online better is I can look over more coins at a greater speed at my own time table then at a show. yes there definitely is something to say about holding the coin in your hand first but with return privileges online buying has a lot to offer. just my opinion though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
