<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 1512395, member: 25270&quot;]I wanted to share this to illustrate how random sale prices can be on eBay. There just happened to be two examples of a coin I need for sale ending within a few hours of each other today. The coin is a 1968 New Zealand 50 cents with mintage of only 35,000. Here&#039;s the first auction, which I didn&#039;t win: <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;_trksid=p4340.l2557&amp;item=251126108216&amp;nma=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;si=oUrKqLzuHGQcqL3FD6qfvh2GM2U%253D&amp;sspagename=STRK%3AMEDWX%3AIT&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;_trksid=p4340.l2557&amp;item=251126108216&amp;nma=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;si=oUrKqLzuHGQcqL3FD6qfvh2GM2U%253D&amp;sspagename=STRK%3AMEDWX%3AIT&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;_trksid=p4340.l2557&amp;item=251126108216&amp;nma=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;si=oUrKqLzuHGQcqL3FD6qfvh2GM2U%3D&amp;sspagename=STRK:MEDWX:IT&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc</a>.</p><p>This one sold for $4.76 plus $2.99 shipping.</p><p>Here&#039;s the second, which I did win: <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=190712852665&amp;ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:US:3160" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=190712852665&amp;ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:US:3160" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=190712852665&amp;ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:US:3160</a></p><p>It sold for 99 cents plus $1.25 shipping. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coins are for all intents and purposes in the same condition. One person spent almost $8 on it, and the next spent a little over $2. It just goes to show that you can get deals if you are lucky. It just depends on who sees that coin at that time. This is the only way I&#039;ve been able to get so many good coins that I could never afford at their book price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
