<p>[QUOTE="KSorbo, post: 2227863, member: 56370"]Any time I am interested in a particular coin I find myself looking at realized prices on both Heritage and EBay. Since I have occasionally sold on EBay, those prices give a good indication of what I could realistically turn around and sell the coin for. Heritage prices are not necessarily "pure auction" because they can enter bids on their own stuff, a practice EBay would refer to as "shill bidding". However, they have less variation and better photos thus more accurately conveying differences in quality in a given grade as was said in an earlier post.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got burned a couple years ago buying a circulated 32d quarter at greysheet bid and thinking it was a great deal, only to find later that auction prices were much less. Since then I have almost stopped using it because even after looking up a coin I'd still go straight to EBay and Heritage to see it's realistic value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
