<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 111921, member: 3011"]I find it useful to look at "price guides" such as the Redbook going back several years to get an idea of where the coin has been and how it has been priced in the past in relation to other coins. Even the grey sheet is nothing more than recent price quotations and may tell you nothing about what the coin is worth or might be worth under a variety of market conditions. It's sort of like asking your broker what Google's stock price was on January 28th and telling him to buy the stock if the current price is lower. I think it takes a bit of research to figure out what can reasonably be paid for a coin. Of course, if you have to have it and you have to have it NOW no matter what, grey sheet is probably as good as anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>I've had pretty good luck doing things this way, but this is only my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
