[QUOTE="Broseph, post: 1820874, member: 57276"]Since page one I have been using eBay as a reference. Since then I have stated that eBay was the market I was talking about. I have given consideration and here is how I see it: I understand that the value of something is only what someone will pay. Ebay has a lot of people, so getting the highest payer is more likely. I also sell apart from ebay when the coins have little to no value over melt, or when I can find a non ebay buyer (to save on fees) It seems many people on here are equating "value" to "I would pay…" When I say value, I mean "what can I sell this for?" That's your opinion. I don't understand how one would NOT equate selling prices on eBay for value, at least in part. I have addressed this, assuming you read my posts. I didn't receive general answers. I received very specific answers: everyone stated what they would pay. That's fine, I already stated that it was my error " suffice to say, I will be more clear in the future if I ask what a coin is worth. I guess I have to specify "what would this coins sell for?"" Not sure when I thought someone was "making something up." I disagreed on the value, just like you disagree with me on the value. I believe the value is what it sold for. You believe the value is less. I understand that and respectfully disagree. Ebay is part of the real world, and the buyers pay with real (however fiat) money. This is why I call ebay "the market." It represents "every type of buyer imaginable" like you said. How is that NOT the market?[/QUOTE]
