<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1948891, member: 25270"]As someone who browses coin auctions a lot on eBay, I've noticed over time that certain sellers consistently sell their coins for many times what other sellers could get for the same coin. I can list a coin for 99 cents and get no bids, but you put one of these sellers' names on the same coin and it would fetch $10. These sellers usually have nice stuff but I avoid them because I know I will rarely get a bargain. One example is a seller named "LegalEagle" with some numbers after his name. His stuff always shoots up in price. Here's a good example too. This seller, MeridianCoin, has had several Brazilian coins I wanted over the past few weeks, but they have sold for astronomical prices. This 1886 200 reis sold for $300! I'm fairly confident that someday I will snag a similar coin from some less-popular seller for under $20. <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/111397762538?ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1435.l2649" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/111397762538?ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1435.l2649" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/111397762538?ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1435.l2649</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Do you pay more for coins if it's a seller you like?
