Message:: [QUOTE="kanga, post: 624171, member: 9270"]I just did a BIN on eBay for a coin that is a bit hard to find.I spent about an hour trying to figure out whether the price was reasonable or not before I bought it. The coin:<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300316122790&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&salenotsupported" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300316122790&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&salenotsupported" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300316122790&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWNX:IT&salenotsupported</a> My normal pricing sources are the greysheet and Coin Values.I try to beat greysheet plus 50% of the difference between the greysheet and Coin Values. But the greysheet doesn't list this variety, so an important half of my calculation was missing.Teletrade didn't have any listings for this variety.Heritage did, but not close to the grade.PCGS had a big gap between grades so it's a bit ambiguous.eBay completed auctions was no help. Can you suggest any other reasonable sources? What I finally ended up doing was comparing prices of a regular 1834 with this variety in Coin Values ($225 vs. $500; about double).Then I estimated a greysheet value for a regular 1834 ($150) and doubled that ($300).The difference between the greysheet and Coin Values was about $200.Finally the estimated greysheet plus half the difference ($100) equals $400.So I decided the BIN was a fair price.Plus desirability was the final push. There's GOT to be an easier way (or is there?)[/QUOTE]
