<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2449201, member: 36230"]Yes, neither are rare, but as has been discussed many, many times before, it doesn't matter, especially with the S VDB. Popularity (demand) vs. supply is everything. An item, including a coin, can be as rare as hen's teeth, but if no one is (or few are) interested in buying, high prices/values cannot be supported. This is why, to pick a close to home example, you'll find certain seated dimes or half dimes near infinitely more scare than the two mentioned coins, as dates/mints, yet sell for a pittance. Nothing wrong with them, of course, but comparatively few are interested in buying them, especially if in lesser conditions.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for "<i>crashing the market</i>", I'm not seeing it. Flooding the ebay market, yeah, but crashing the overall market? No... It's probably safe to say his actions haven't helped the little guys sitting on coins of this date, mint, and grade range presently trying to unload them on ebay, but to a bigger seller, slowly leaking them into the market very well may be more of a hassle than any potential rewards may be worth. Business is business, and he will likely end up, even with the flood, doing better this way than he would have wholesaling the entire lot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
