<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1024392, member: 26302&quot;]Every market has its eccentricities. I notice Ebay tends for cheap things to go too high, but truly valuable things can be bargains. I buy some large lots of items outside of average Ebayers price range and do well, as well as things like a group of Cleopatra VII coins that I bought for $75 for 5 of them. Each of these go for that price on other sites. On the other hand, &quot;floor sweepings&quot; ancients that will never be worth anything and have been sorted 10 times at least are sold way to expensively as &quot;uncleaned ancient coins&quot; every day there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mark_H, if you can make money buying from one and selling on another more power to you. That is your payment for knowledge. I agree that 10Gary22 generalization is too sweeping, since from the buyer side I buy from Ebay, CNG, and many European firms, depending on what I perceive the best value. Cheap fees do not always work our for sellers, if you sell a rare coin on Ebay for $500 when at a CNG auction you could have received $1000, you would not begrudge CNG&#039;s 15-20%.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
