[QUOTE="EyeEatWheaties, post: 1070513, member: 26972"]There is an assumption................... in your post regarding this topic that is messing me or your opinion up. With that said, otherwise I get and totally understand what you are saying. Although the only way I can apply it to my opinion is that I must be a knowledgeable buyer/seller. Which, while I am learning, consider myself on about a 3rd grade level. BTW I didn't mean to revive this year old thread.. I just noticed! ooooops! Anyways.......... Doug, maybe you noticed, maybe you didn't. Please re-read the portion in my post that I quoted from you. I changed the words to reflect the home business to show how this........ ........doesn't work, because Builders, do not discount homes to half price, ever! Values are determined by averages paid for similar or comparable items within a given time period. IMO Look - regardless of the basis for your reasoning - my basis is purely established by the ease of access & volume of eBay buys/sales. I contend that since anyone can and does access coins for sale and since there are often dozens of examples of the same coin if not hundreds - then it stands to reason that the average closing price of the same item - is the true market for masses, ie. majority of coin buyers and sellers the same. I have under my belt thousands of purchases For the last 4 months I also branched over to the other venues , auctions, private sales, shows, not so much . All I can say is that those branches are the niche markets - not realistic to establish values because they are not immediately accessible to the masses. I think there is room for both markets and both values to be established. Gonna send a PM I didn't expect a reply, since that was a bit of a troll type of post. Rob[/QUOTE]
