<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1827252, member: 36230"]I had a feeling that it was going to be something like this. Now, I'll take your word that PCGS guide lists the coins at $X value, but what do the same coins in the same grades actually sell for? Most all of such listings (including those of a higher dollar amount) are used to liquidate stagnant widget inventory or clear out the subs that didn't meet the hoped for level. Think of it this way: if you were an ebay seller, would you lot out coins for $100 if you could sell separately and bring in two and a half times the return?</p><p><br /></p><p>Instead of using PCGS guide (were the coins in PCGS plastic?), take a few minutes to search completed/sold ebay listings for the same coins in the same grade/plastic. Even though you may find a small difference (depending on the coins) in comparable individual sale totals, it almost certainly will not be anywhere near what you were thinking. Unless you just want inexpensive plastic, it is probably best to avoid such listings in the future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
