<p>[QUOTE="princeofwaldo, post: 1949289, member: 24091"]Inclined to agree, the photography has more to do with the price realized than anything else, all else being equal. This is especially true if the coin is exceptionally nice to begin with. Some of the other factors that influence the price realized: Location of the seller. I have bought coins from sellers in Greece for half what they are normally going for simply because many people do not like buying from overseas sellers, especially from certain countries like Russia, Greece, or Italy. If the sellers feedback rating is good, then there are some great deals waiting for you to bid, if you have the courage to bid on them. Especially using PayPal, the risks are not nearly what they were 10 years ago. Obviously, bad feedback or lack of feedback at all, will usually result in a lower price. Another huge factor is when the item is sold. If it is listed in an auction (as opposed to Buy-It-Now) and the auction is scheduled to end in the middle of the day on a weekday, --or worse yet in the middle of the day on a day like Mother's Day-- the price realized will be a fraction of what it might otherwise have been. Without question, for auction listings, the best closing time on eBay (from the seller's perspective) is Sunday night around 10:00PM -CST.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
