<p>[QUOTE="skm06, post: 152938, member: 6216"]The funny thing is you're all right to some extent, in my opinion anyway. If you need your collection to be liquid,and sell it at a moments notice, then Ebay may not work, making it worth only what any collector will pay for it right now,(knowledgeable buyer) or dealer unfortunately. Like De Orc said though, sometimes even in people with knowledge, impulse takes over and they just want that coin now.</p><p>But we've all seen ridiculous bids on ebay I'm sure. Some buyers will have a bidding war when a listing still has 5 or 6 days to go.</p><p>I've had it happen plenty of times. Put up what should be a fair bid, only to keep being outbid by some to whom it's just the competition. They just don't care what they pay,they're going to beat you. Sometimes I'll just keep bidding out of spite because you can just tell they will keep bidding. Luckily , it hasn't cost me yet and always stop before it's too late.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
