<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4803443, member: 110350"]As far as I'm concerned, these Ebay sellers of common slabbed ancient coins at exorbitant prices are deliberately preying on the gullible and ignorant. Unfortunately, as long as there continue to be willing buyers at those prices, they'll continue what they're doing. Because no, the government isn't going to impose price controls on slabbed ancient coins! And no, it isn't fraud, because value is an opinion, not a fact -- and, ultimately, is whatever a willing buyer pays a willing seller. Fortunately, there are still plenty of dealers who sell raw ancient coins at reasonable prices. Too bad Ebay doesn't let competitors -- or knowledgeable collectors -- post comments about these coins, warning people about how overpriced they are. That would be characterized as intentional interference with prospective contractual relations![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
