[QUOTE="Numismat, post: 1319078, member: 15019"]I actually feel the same way about magazines and dealer sites as you do about eBay completed items. I start auctions at 99 cents, so retail prices don't mean very much to me. When I see the same coin in the same grade that was sold with good pics and description by someone that is a consistent coin dealer, I usually rely on that expectation for my own coin (unless it's something I've got a strong customer base for). Sometimes my estimate ends up being too low, sometimes too high. But, it's a good starting point to figure out if the coin is worth listing individually or throwing into a larger lot and not wasting time with it. Any particular reason you say you never use ebay as a value check, [U]anymore[/U]? Let's get that personal story on here. =)[/QUOTE]
