<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IBetASilverDollar, post: 2852177, member: 85251&quot;]Already disagree with this.&nbsp; You can pick out over and underpriced examples from both easily those are called outliers and absolutely don&#039;t reflect a coins value.&nbsp; I know this as those are the two venues I use 98% of the time.&nbsp; You have a strong bias against ebay which you&#039;ve made clear many many times here.&nbsp; Confirmation bias can be a strong thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I buy about the same percentage of coins that I target on ebay as I do Heritage and gun to my head I&#039;d give the edge to ebay for getting comparable coins for less mostly due to Heritage&#039;s large fees.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The above is not true, it&#039;s your opinion that I believe to be biased.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe a coin is worth what a recent history of sales of comparable coins are worth regardless of the knowledge level of those buying the coin.&nbsp; This does not include outliers as mentioned above which can be found in LCS&#039;s, ebay, Heritage, GC, or anywhere with coins available.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rarities that only show up every blue moon are still worth what someone will pay for them however in that instance what someone will pay is a lot cloudier with a very high variance.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Coins sometimes sell for more on ebay, other times less.&nbsp; Buyers on ebay are for the most part not knowledgeable, they still affect the market for coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>When they overpay for a coin compared to other sales for that piece that is not a reflection of the coins value, that is an outlier and should not be used when valuing your own coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No because selling a counterfeit coin as genuine is an outlier.&nbsp; Of course that situation would not be used in valuing a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Agreed.&nbsp; Knowledgeable people will avoid things they feel are overvalued.&nbsp; The value is still what people are willing to pay for that item at that given time, people who have a strong knowledge of that specific item may just not agree with it&#039;s current going rate.&nbsp; The going rate is still the same regardless.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If I could only pay what an expert decided my next car was worth I&#039;d be thrilled but I live in the real world where I have to pay what the market allows the car to sell for.&nbsp; I&#039;m not overpaying I&#039;m simply paying what I have to to purchase a product that meets my needs that doesn&#039;t change just because an expert wouldn&#039;t have bought the same car for the same price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
