<p>[QUOTE="Ana Silverbell, post: 2423429, member: 75156"]All of the comments above are good and you should follow them. I would <i>add</i> that before you bid, do a search of the coin you are considering buying. Page down the left column to "Show Only" and check the box for "Sold listings." Make sure when you put the coin description in the search field that you include a "grade" or condition from the listing that is as close to the coin grade or condition as you can glean from the pictures and description (this part is tricky). Then <i>also</i> search for the coin sale price for <i>more than a grade or condition below</i>: <i>e.g.</i>, for a coin listed as "AU" search sold prices for a VF, or EF of the same coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>This will give you the recent prices that particular coin sold for on Ebay. This way, you have an idea of the market value of what you are bidding on and you have a <i>better</i> chance of not paying too much for that coin. Also, if you want to sell the coin, you have an idea of what you can get for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
