<p>[QUOTE="Kryptonitecomic, post: 1077098, member: 26784"]All I will say is that I use Ebay ended auctions as a price guide personally and it has served me well as a part time dealer becuase I am selling on that venue. While I may not agree with Doug on a lot of things I do agree that he has a right to his opinion regardless of whether that differes from my own. He may have had a different experience then us with regards to what he felt was inaccurate prices realized on Ebay auctions so he feels more comfortable with Heritage archives? I personally use both and it gives me the best of both worlds on the more common stuff and on the true rarities you pretty much have to rely on Heritage archives.</p><p><br /></p><p>I once told Doug that his status as being the site admin put more weight on his opinion here on the forums whether he wanted to believe it or not. I believe this is just another case where a poster is thinking Doug is a subject matter expert on all things coins and I would submit that I don't even think Doug would agree to that...nor I of myself. I have my specialties and I am sure Doug opinion would carry more weight on coin series he routinely collected in the past and less towards coins he didn't collect...same as the rest of us.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do feel Doug can be very wreckless with his statements of fact at times based on the weight his opinion may carry with some her especially the newbies but we all have to take everything posted on these forums with a grain of salt regardless of who posted it.
