<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1820438, member: 36230&quot;]Yes, let’s keep it cordial, and yes, you quoted a small portion of my response directly, but then directly proceeded to place other bits and pieces into a completely different context, so please don’t tell me what I was trying to imply, sir. There is no reason to defend yourself against anything I said because noting should have been taken as offensive, but even if you took it that way, this is not how it was intended.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you do not wish to bother with or appreciate efforts intended to possibly help you, that’s fine. Earlier in this thread you mentioned being “green”, and while you absolutely do not have to accept anything said as fact, it is at least worth giving due consideration.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, perhaps there has been a level of miscommunication here, but at the root of this all has been that ebay is not always a great indicator of what a coin is generally worth. When wishing to learn about value, one is likely to receive different answers depending on how the question is asked, so if curious as to how much a coin may go for on ebay, it is best state this when asking; the more general the question, the more general the answers you’re likely to receive. Also, ebay is not “the market”; it is a venue, and regardless of size, is one of many and represents only a piece of the market.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Again, sir, ebay is not an absolute definer of value; it is just one venue of many, so this may be the reason people have “<i>drilled the idea of it being worth melt</i>”. As for the challenge to find such a coin on ebay for $25, this goes right back to the same thing that has been said repeatedly. I do not know or care where or how you obtained the coin, but it was not some rare and incredible find; you bought something for a somewhat average price that could be flipped for a small profit on ebay, which is not an uncommon but still perfectly acceptable thing. If you wish to dismiss what I or anyone else tells you or believe that we’re making it up, that’s fine, but does not change the fact that ebay values and real world values are not necessarily the same. It only goes to reason that on a venue such as ebay with every type of buyer imaginable, there will be some who, for many different reasons, may pay more than they would have to elsewhere.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
