<p>[QUOTE="ddddd, post: 3575063, member: 22377"]Generally I’d say to stay out of the future transaction. People resell items all the time and that is part of how the market works. It’s true that some sellers have very high prices, but no one is forcing a buyer to pay those prices. On eBay someone can look up similar sold items and then decide if the price is right or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only time it is acceptable to report listings is if someone is selling a counterfeit or extremely misrepresenting an item.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do wonder, are your prices around eBay sold prices (maybe less by the amount of the fee)? If they are and the people are able to resell your items for 2x-5x, maybe you have been selling premium quality coins for the same price as generics? Or it could just be that the reseller has a big following on eBay and people are more willing to deal with them. I recently sold a Morgan for $975 on eBay (already a nice premium). The person who bought it took a better photo (I’d even say it was enhanced) and resold it a few months later for $2,200. That person has a bigger following and people that are comfortable buying from him, so that is my theory as to why he was able to get so much more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
