So which one did you see on the bay? Here's my weird one... http://www.ebay.com/itm/1915-Bear-S...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Unique-Olde...329616?hash=item51f0aeaa10:g:IkoAAOSwOtdYTO6h Price is insane...what do you think this is actually worth (or what someone will actually pay)?
Yikes! I'd wager that you'd have to remove two of the zeros left of the decimal to get the price into a more reasonable range.
Yeah that stupid 1795 dollar listing is about the most insane listing on eBay for coins. I feel like he just pulls prices out of thin air and changes them once a month using some random number generator. But hey, it probably brings him clicks if nothing else.
Every time I am looking for a book I use Bookfinder.com. Some of the prices asked are ridiculous, even worse than this. I have seen common books which normally go for less than $10 which are offered for hundreds of dollars. It is not at all uncommon. I suspect that people there just use some algorithm to generate prices and don't even look at the reasonableness. This may be a similar situation.
