[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 3698724, member: 73489"][I]Why do you or others here think so much stuff on Ebay is way over FMV ? Are the sellers literally waiting for the One Dumb Buyer ? Are they in too high and they need to recoup the price + listing fees ? Can they afford to wait months...years....until they get their price ? [/I] I get that many common bills, including SC's, are going to be over FMV because the cost of the grading/protector is ~ $15/bill. Add-in S&H and listing fees, and I get why some stuff that has a FMV of $10 or $20 might sell for triple or quadruple that. Or more !! :yack: At least the cost is still affordable. However....[B][COLOR=#0000ff]when I see stuff that costs HUNDREDS of dollars, that easily covers the extra costs and similar % mark-ups really piss me off.[/COLOR][/B] The gouging on stuff costing thousands of dollars appears less, probably because as the costs go higher you are dealing with a savvier, more disciplined buyer.[/QUOTE]
