<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor, post: 676546, member: 5454&quot;]This is the way eBay is now.&nbsp; Fools and greedy bidders who don&#039;t even know what they are doing.&nbsp; There is one exception and that&#039;s when I put something up for sale.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t sell at all or sells too cheaply.</p><p>I have also noticed at local auctions that fools bid way too high for common coins.&nbsp; One auction I attended [twice] the bidding was just crazy for everything from new Presidential dollars to Morgans to Indian head cents.</p><p>I couldn&#039;t even raise my bid card because the prices were way over what I would spend.&nbsp; So now I just go to coin shows and negotiate price.&nbsp; If it&#039;s too much I pass.&nbsp; Then I go back a month later and renegotiate the same coin.</p><p>One guy is at every show with the same&nbsp; rather rough 1921-D half dollar marked $379.</p><p>I got it down to $325 a few months ago.&nbsp; Then 2 months ago he said he could knock the $79 off and let it go for $300.&nbsp; Last week he still had the same coin and I offered $250.&nbsp; He says no because he paid $300 for it.</p><p>But he would &quot;let it go&quot; for $275.&nbsp; Now next month I am going to try the $250 again and see what happens.&nbsp; The coin just sits in his inventory month after month.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
