[QUOTE="4to2centBC, post: 2780757, member: 76181"]The increased demand, created by the internet, is exceeding the supply for the best coins, despite the increased supply of coins. As with any supply demand curve, there will be those that fall above or below the line. Those are the folks who potentially over or under paid (in theory.) However, it is important to remember that we are dealing with averages across types of coins, quality of coins and the rarity of coins. Each would have its own supply demand curve if you wanted to get more specific. For those who don't understand a supply-demand curve. [IMG]https://libraryeuroparl.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/supply-and-demand-curve.jpg?w=750[/IMG] This is about as simple as it gets. Of course dealers try to control supply by releasing them into the market slowly. Coordinating that action across multiple sellers is not possible, but it does have an effect on prices in the short term. And another chart for those who want to understand how changes to the curve affect price. [IMG]http://www.graduatetutor.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Shifts-in-Demand-Supply-Curves.gif[/IMG][/QUOTE]
