<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1077291, member: 26302&quot;]Not having a lot of experience I couldn&#039;t tell you EEW if they are better than not. However, what Doug said about averaging out sales prices is extremely true. I have seen &quot;one off&quot; bids or sales repeatedly, and those coins may have had a special attribute that I didn&#039;t know about, or two really determined bidders. You can never hang your hat on just one or two datapoints, but an average, throwing out outliers for every venue.</p><p><br /></p><p>As examples, 20 years ago at two different sales I saw a 1877 IHC go for $80 and $400. Both of them vg or so. The second auction I found out later was two relatives of the deceased owner, the first was an auction where there was a snowstorm and only about 6 of us showed up. You never know by just number crunching what a price of a coin will be. </p><p><br /></p><p>If it helps I would agree with you that if Doug doesn&#039;t have a lot of experience with TT maybe he shouldn&#039;t have assumed its a better venue than Ebay.&nbsp; I honestly cannot answer, but yeah, I wish I would have been the one who bought that 77 that day. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
