<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Beefer518, post: 7788900, member: 87737&quot;]I never use PCGS/NGC price guides. They&#039;re absurdly over-enthusiastic. Sometimes I&#039;ll reference CDN, but I&#039;m not a dealer, so the wholesale price doesn&#039;t really apply to me, and can sometimes be higher than realized auction prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I do use, almost like the Bible, is the Heritage price index. I don&#039;t look just at that, but I think click on the coin in the HA guide, and it brings up all of their past ales for that coin, and also shows me how many are currently on the block. I look at the most recent sales, and look and the coins that sold in the grade I&#039;m looking at, as well as any other attributes (if applicable), similar toning, CAC, etc. Then I decide what i want to pay from seller X, knowing that I can get something similar from HA at some point for a price range of Y.&nbsp; For more common items, I&#039;ll also throw in a quick search of eBay sold listings, but not so much.</p><p><br /></p><p>Use PCGS &amp; NGC Price guides only if money is no object, and you like to be able to stake a claim of having paid the most. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie70" alt=":panda:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
