<p>[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1552238, member: 75105"]The problem I have with eBay is people wanting way too much for certain coins. $6-$8 for an unc Roosevelt dime is ridiculous for common years. Yet they relist the heck out of them, never selling. It's been hard to put together a set because you basically have to wait for it to come along in an auction, as Buy it nows are way too high. Even then the auctions sometimes get carried away. There is one seller on there "mcvanderstien" or something, that lists his Un roosevelt dimes at 3.99 each. Good photos, but then another $3 for shipping, your paying $7 out the door. Way too much, and the semi key/keys he list always bring way beyond book value. </p><p><br /></p><p>I've noticed that the better the picture, the better the price. So I've learned to bid on auctions with poor photos but yet just enough detail to spot any damage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
