<p>[QUOTE="buddy16cat, post: 1535136, member: 37356"]Ok, I had to go back and find the post where you talked about an educated buyer and what they would pay. Yes, I agree people overpay on Ebay why I can never get a Barber quarter for what I can get it for locally. The bidiots are sometimes asleep, that is when you can get a good deal. When I bid, I always use the price guide with the lowest price and downgrade the coin because of any unforeseen issues. Shopping around at shows and different dealers gives you an idea what retail is but some shops seem to charge more on everything. On the nickels I bought during off hours, one I have seen similar tossed in a dollar bin at a local show. I would pay the same. The other on the other hand I do see a LIBERTY with a faint I which looks to be F-12. I need a better look though. If it is so, Rebook, which is the lower than Numismedia, has it at $4.25. If it is VG, than $2.25. People are right though about crazy fluctuations. Prices were going down for IHCs, I was getting higher grade coins for lower than they went back up and people were buying worn down coins with no LIBERTY for more. On the same note, if you are selling coins it is always good to list your coins when all the bidiots are awake and in full force.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
