<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kanga, post: 512420, member: 9270&quot;]I think eBay sellers get their pricing info from things like the Red Book, <i>Coin Trends</i> or the PCGS site.</p><p>The Red Book is ridiculous source for prices. They are 6-12 months out of date <u>by the time they&#039;re published</u>.</p><p>And although <i>Coin Trends</i> and PCGS are more timely, there&#039;s still significant lag while they research recent results in order to justify pricing changes.</p><p>And I suspect the greysheet is only slightly better. But at least it&#039;s a bit more realistic.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I don&#039;t know how many recent results one of these publications needs before they adjust their figures (5? 10?).</p><p>But for many coins you may not get enough sales/auction results for a date/mintmark/grade combo in a year.</p><p>Go back through your pricing guides, pick some coins and see how often the price changes (No, not 1909-SVDB or 1916-D since they are high volume coins. Pick a bit more common date.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u>BOTTM LINE</u>: Many sellers are quoting pre-economic crisis prices.</p><p>Then they wonder why they can&#039;t sell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
