<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 107692, member: 3011&quot;]This is a very tough question to answer.&nbsp; Maybe Ebay bids are unrealistically high, or the prices everyone are used to are unrealistically low.&nbsp; A coin shop has to move merchandise by pricing it for a limited local market where there might only be a small group of people actively collecting a certain series.&nbsp; Put the same coins on an Ebay auction and the coin will be viewed by more collectors of that series in a day than would see it in a year in the shop.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe 20 years from now we will know whether the Ebay bidders were foolish for overpaying for overgraded coins, or if the serious hobbyists underappreciated and underpriced things for years that they thought of as &quot;common&quot; but turned out to be highly prized collectibles.</p><p><br /></p><p>Markets with large numbers of participants tend to be efficient pricing mechanisms.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
