[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1626144, member: 13650"]That seems to be the game. Buy at one of the other auction companies and then dump on ebay for the suckers. I just ran across a Morgan I wanted on ebay. Real nice, NGC, toned, star, pedigreed. Very desirable but a steep buy it now. Started researching them to see what similarly graded, pedigreed examples of that date went for. Didn't take long before I stumbled upon the original Heritage auction for that coin from last October.

People can try what they want but you can't expect there to be buyers every time you want to pay a premium from an auction site and then decide to turn around in 3 months and jack the price 12% to cover your new costs, plus extra, to get a little profit, in order to re-sell it.
