<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1515822, member: 5233"]So, I was perusing eBay looking for potential coins to add to my collection when I found one I liked. The seller had it listed for $120...so I looked it up on HA to compare prices and see if it was reasonable. Not only did I find comparables...but I found the exact same coin had sold on HA in June for $56. There was a "best offer" feature for this auction so I sent the seller a message and simply asked him what the best price he would take using the "best offer" feature. Then I added something like, "I see this coin sold on Heritage for $56 on June ?, 2012 (can't remember the exact date)." I don't want to seem rude...but I wanted to be clear that the coin is overpriced and that I'm an educated seller. Do you think this was an acceptable thing to do?</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't want to beat around the bush...I want his best fair price. I know he has to make money...and who knows, the coin may have changed hands several times between HA and now. But more than 2x the HA price from 2 months ago seems excessive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
