<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2228911, member: 36230"]So, just as a quick example of the reverse, would the same be true for someone selling to a hotel buyer or some craigslist schmo? Is some laughable lowball all "that particular coin is worth at that moment in time" as well, or does one party's lack knowledge play a very big part in the price paid? </p><p><br /></p><p>It's easy to defend eBay as a fine valuation tool, and in some cases it can be, including for dealers. However, the fact remains that there are a lot of people using that site who end up paying wholly too much, and more often than not this is due to a lack of knowledge, experience, or understanding of what it is they're buying. Sure, some of these people will buy from the other sites (Heritage, Stacks, etc) as well, but they simply do not exist in the numbers they do on eBay, where they can and do effect average prices, sometimes to head-shaking levels.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
