<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1343253, member: 13650"]Yeah, any of those 3 are great tools for looking up past sale prices. Also, be sure to look at the dates the auction ended. You may find a really low selling price but it could have been an auction that ended in 2007. Dealers and more refined collectors that know what their doing tend to use these sites. The same people may use ebay, but they also share ebay with all the fly by night collectors and nuts who don't know what they're doing. Which can lead to inflated values there from any number of the uneducated. This is why some don't like ebay as a guide. Ebay is a 'catch all' and prices can vary greatly.</p><p><br /></p><p> Keep in mind the fees involved with the transactions. The seller loses 12% on ebay transactions. So if you see a coin sell for $100 on there, the seller basically gets to keep about $88. Then take shipping off of that if it isn't included. It's not as straight forward as it looks if you've never been a seller. Same with Heritage. They have a 15% buyer's premium tacked on that the seller doesn't get. Essentially, you can deduct that off their final values if you're doing a face to face transaction in person.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
