<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1815358, member: 112&quot;]Oh I used to be extremely passionate about some of the coins I&#039;d buy. Anyone who has been around here for more than just a couple of years can attest to that. And yes, I&#039;ve overpaid for coins myself. Any collector worth his salt has overpaid for a coin now and then.</p><p><br /></p><p>But doing it now and then is not what I am talking about. What I am talking about is doing it consistently, time after time. And that&#039;s what happens on ebay. And that&#039;s why the realized prices on ebay are no good when you are trying to find out what a coin is really worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>Think about it for a second. If the realized prices on ebay were good, then wouldn&#039;t every dealer be using them ? But ask them, there are several right here on the forum, ask them. I&#039;ll bet you won&#039;t find even one who does. Why not ? Because they know the same thing I know.</p><p><br /></p><p>ck - that is the danger in saying what you are. You just aren&#039;t putting a fine enough point on it. Yes, a coin is worth what someone will pay for it, but only when that someone is someone who knows what they are doing <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>There is a huge difference between what someone who doesn&#039;t know what they are doing will pay, and what someone who does know what they are doing will pay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now anybody who can&#039;t understand that, and agree with it, well I&#039;m sorry but I don&#039;t know a better way to explain it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
