<p>[QUOTE="10gary22, post: 1045138, member: 23626"]eBay sales cannot be used as a valid guide to value, simply because some items never get seen by people who may be interested in buying them. Auctions often end before potential buyers are aware of the item. For instance, a 1988 D RDV-006 ANACS AU58+ went for $26 a couple of months ago. A raw 1988 RDV-006 in about an AU40 (best grade likely) sold for $50.01 last week. Now there is no way to compare those two coins in value. I believe many potential buyers are scared off eBay because of horror stories published in many forums. Possibly with good reason. But my point is, that eBay auction prices do not give a decent or fair picture of the market and should not be taken into consideration at all. IMHO</p><p> </p><p>gary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
