<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 1279086, member: 25270&quot;]I think I&#039;ve talked about this on here before with people, but I think the argument could be made that the eBay value is essentially the market price, because that&#039;s what they&#039;re selling for. I have some coins that Krause says are worth $5 and I can put them on eBay at a starting bid of 99 cents and get no bites, but another coin that Krause says is worth $1 goes for $10 on eBay with 15 bids. EBay can be a much more accurate appraisal of what the real demand is for something. To be more specific, I&#039;m working on a set of modern Mexican coins, and one that I need is the 1973 one centavo. Krause lists the value at about $2, but I&#039;ve checked eBay for months and no one ever lists one. Finally there was one listed, and it ended up selling for $13. So who&#039;s right about the value? EBay or Krause? Even if buyers on eBay aren&#039;t knowledgeable, they still need to be factored in. There are unknowledgeable buyers at coin shows too. Some people pay the asking price when buying a car too, and others bargain for an hour.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
