[QUOTE="dave92029, post: 1064452, member: 26916"]As the Tax man always says it's all about the Specific Facts and Circumstances. I have found that the NGC slabbed coins that I follow on eBay sell for about 80-85% of the PCGS Price Guide, which has lower prices than the NGC Price Guide. Selling or buying is all about having the patience to wait for what you consider a fair price and understanding the rarity of what you want to buy. If there aren't very many of what you want, then pay what you need to when you find it! Unfortunately, immediately after you pull the trigger and pay the asking price for that percieved rare coin an other one comes along at a much lower price. I generally look at the average cost per coin vs estimated cost per coin of my sets. This seems to balance out the great deals and the ones that I should have passed on. I'm always surprised at how close the average cost per coin of a set will come to the average estimated market value per coin.,[/QUOTE]
