<p>[QUOTE=&quot;superc, post: 1823947, member: 44079&quot;]You are touching on something that so peeved me off today that I am about to do a post about it (Ebay and grading standards).</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me just say (from having spent 40+ hours on Ebay this week buying and selling, Ebay prices are all over the rainbow.&nbsp; Yes you can find some stuff at ridiculous prices especially if you snipe in the final seconds of an auction closing.&nbsp; Nothing like bagging at 3am that old Morgan no one bid on which still has the &#039;start at&#039; price.&nbsp; Or last week I bagged an entire Dansco of Washington Silver in AU (allegedly, the pics agree, but I will know more when it arrives) for only about $350.&nbsp; Got a BU 1921 Peace for $93, which supports the Sean&#039;s claim.&nbsp; Alternatively, a heck of a lot of stuff on the &#039;bay is way, way, overpriced.&nbsp; Especially slabbed coins.&nbsp; Too many sellers seem to be adding the cost of their NGC/PCGS membership and submission fees to the Redbook prices, then starting there.&nbsp; For instance,&nbsp; I recently saw a 1964 slabbed Washington in MS 63 going for &#039;buy it now&#039; $75.&nbsp; I watched it out of curiosity, and durn if someone didn&#039;t buy it.&nbsp; A fool and their money.&nbsp; Whoever that buyer was, he &#039;walked&#039; right past lots of untouched rolls of uncirculated Washington quarters for a heck of a lot cheaper.&nbsp; Can we say AMPEX?&nbsp; Hey, I don&#039;t know.&nbsp; Maybe that was a pre-arranged money laundering operation.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Police: &quot;How&#039;d you get all that money James, you selling drugs?&quot;&nbsp; </p><p>James: &quot;Oh no sir.&nbsp; While going through Dad&#039;s belongings (may he rest in peace) I found some slabbed coins dated 1964&nbsp; and when I put them on Ebay at high prices, someone bought them.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I noticed this week a heck of a lot of slabbed stuff (especially the overpriced ones) gets re-listed often.&nbsp; I am also noticing the majority of coins from many of the dealers are priced way over Redbook for grades corresponding to the pictures being shown.&nbsp; Alternatively, a lot of the little guys (i.e., real people vs. corporations) seem to have fair prices.&nbsp; Caveat Emptor of course.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
