<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1077829, member: 26302&quot;]Well I am sure I speak for everyone hoping that everyone commenting here continues to post. Reading divergent opinions always have to clarify thoughts, and that is why I come here, not just knowledge but challenges to what I believe and why.</p><p><br /></p><p>Concerning venues and average pricing, I would throw out purchase efficiency and quality as well being two non qualifiable inputs. Lets just take TT and Ebay, though its more readily shown in higher end venues. To buy from Ebay, you have to go through pages of dreck, Chinese scams, sellers who may or may not be professional, etc. I would say to an average person its more of a hassle or chance to get ripped off than Teletrade. Therefor, one would expect Teletrade to have higher prices realized. Teletrade is one firm, professional, and you have a pretty high degree of confidence you are looking at real coins. That counts for a lot. I know in ancients if I just want to buy a nice coin CNG will have them. They may not be cheap, but they are nice quality and authentic, and easy to buy from.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is just theory on why TT might be higher, I have stated I do not use them, but use other professional firms sometimes when I do not have the energy to fight through Ebay dreck page after page.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. Paul, I thought you at least would have brought up why even price averaging is not perfect for coming up with values. Every coin is unique, and a couple of nicely toned coins in one venue versus another will completely throw off any comparison pricing only based upon grade, right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
