[QUOTE="AtlantaMan, post: 25581328, member: 158885"]Hi, I am reviewing Ebay as well as USACoinBook for the sales of some ordinary Franklins and Walkers. I am confused as to some things that I see. I filter the results so I see only completed sales... 1) When I do that, I see completed sales with only one bid, but that bid appears to be below melt value. I don't understand that. They are recent bids with the price of silver around $28 to $30. 2) I also see some halves which are sort of in good condition, but they are common and seem to go above melt value. I factor in shipping as well as the auction fee (13.5% for Ebay and 2% for USACoinBook) and the resulting sale price still seems to be out-of-whack. Perhaps these are folks not familiar with coins and just start bidding on sparkly old things? Help me understand. Thanks![/QUOTE]
