<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1400792, member: 19463&quot;]I agree that there is no offence selling coins I may have helped identify although I admit I am more likely to put a level of effort into a hard one like the Domna when I think it is for a collector.&nbsp; The problem here was the shill bidding.&nbsp; I agree that prices on eBay are unfair.&nbsp; In the last decade eBay has become the haunt of jerks who post junk coins with write ups trying to convince beginners that they are rare and valuable.&nbsp; I was surprised that the Republican here was posted at .99 which is a fair start for the broken coin.&nbsp; I&#039;d wonder if this were not all a misunderstanding but for the private bidder which is usually a sign of a shill.&nbsp;&nbsp; eBay has a provision for selling coins at a price &#039;fair&#039; to dealers who think they may go too cheaply.&nbsp; It is Buy it Now.&nbsp; Post that denarius at 100 pounds and we will all ignore it or not as we see fit.&nbsp; Posting at .99 says to me that I will have to bid against several other people including some last second snipers that will drive the price.&nbsp; I suspect this coin would sell fairly in the under 10 pound range.&nbsp; I do regret all this since I now won&#039;t be able to bid on the Domna but know I would never beat those who think it is worth the equal of a fully legible coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
