<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1065076, member: 13650&quot;]I don&#039;t think you can go by the red or blue book accurately.&nbsp; The blue book is only wholesale pricing that dealers typically buy inventory at from other dealers.&nbsp; Maybe you, if you&#039;re willing to take that much of a hit.&nbsp;&nbsp; Selling anything is never easy.&nbsp; If you want quick and easy, than the dealer can do that for you but you shouldn&#039;t expect top dollar.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; It&#039;s tough to say.&nbsp; You can look at something as simple as a slabbed, modern commemorative for example.&nbsp;&nbsp; I choose this because it likely will have the most &quot;knowns&quot; and least variables involved.&nbsp;&nbsp; Yet still, even on the same venue such as ebay, the price range for the same slabbed coin will vary widely over a month&#039;s time.&nbsp; All depends on who&#039;s looking at that time.&nbsp;&nbsp; So I&#039;d say the value of everything is changing on a daily basis.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; At auction, you might hit a lucky day for one and an unlucky day for another.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I found out a couple weeks ago that Heritage has sold some stuff much cheaper than ebay.&nbsp; Even with their higher fees.&nbsp; But the problem is the coverage.&nbsp; I believe ebay appeals to more people and has more coverage.&nbsp;&nbsp; Many of the past auction deals I&#039;ve found are after the fact.&nbsp;&nbsp; Every time I go to Heritage, I can&#039;t find one example of what I&#039;m looking for.&nbsp; You would have to monitor it constantly to have the coin come up that you&#039;re waiting for and then wait a month for the auction to end.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; When selling you&#039;ve got to factor in shipping and all fees involved too which will take a good cut out of the profits.&nbsp; I still think it would be worth it to sell them yourself.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen many coins sell at or above NGC price guide.&nbsp; But typically, the higher the dollar amount, the more of a discount will be seen.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; For example, you can probably sell a $100 coin for about $100 while a $5000 coin you might have to let go for $4000, based on the guide.&nbsp; It all depends on how many buyers can afford what you&#039;re offering.&nbsp; At that time.&nbsp;&nbsp; A $5000 coin might be much harder to sell than a $100 coin and you&#039;ll lose much more in fees.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
