<p>[QUOTE="TCBBK, post: 243881, member: 8810"]Why do you put a HIGH list price for the issue? Why don't you put greysheet list prices...if you're only concerned about "reference"? (you can PM me anytime, and I'll give you the bid/ask no problem) Also, please point to where you got a guide for "PL" coins. <b>DM</b>PL is another story, but you're calling that coin PL/DMPL, (you're adamant about the 65 grade, so why aren't you equally as adamant about either the PL or DMPL designation?) so how did you come up with your "trends" reference. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you were only putting the price "reference" in the body of the auction...it would still be deceptive, but less so, in my opinion. Since you're putting it in the auction title as well, I personally believe it is deceptive enhancement of the value. Also, you don't mention that "trends" is numismatic vernacular for the former "Coin Trends" publication which is now "Coin Values" put out by Coin World. Trends isn't a verb in this particular case. It refers to the publication. "Trends" is also a deceptive word, even though it is commonly used in eBay auctions. It doesn't "trend" to those prices...as is isn't the trend for that particular issue to sell for that high. </p><p><br /></p><p>The prices you use "for reference only" are ridiculous retail prices that are never attained and, quite frankly, you know that. Again, this is a spirited discussion, not meant to be taken as personal, although I know how hard it is not to take it personally when your ethics are in question. It happened to me on eBay a few years ago. I learned from it, and changed my selling style. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
