Message:: [QUOTE="Vess1, post: 573258, member: 13650"]Ebay I've been using the 'Advanced Search' function at the end of the normal search field on ebay lately. In that, you can search recently ended auctions and see a list of whatever you're looking for has recently sold at.  I'd say that's about the quickest and easiest real time price guide there. Look at it this way. Anybody who wants that coin at that time and is computer literate, has probably looked at and passed or bid on the coin on ebay. A group of people world wide. That's a big audience. Even buy it nows show you what individuals are willing to pay. It sets the bar. It may be higher than you want. But there's also anomolies. For example, I watched a sweet 1938-D/S Buffalo nickel in a new NGC slab graded a MS-66 sell for only 150.00. Not a thing wrong with it. But that's what it was bid up to and it ended.  The next day I watched another nice 1938-D/S in an NGC slab sell, but graded only a MS-65. It sold for 148.00. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> And somebody probably thought they got a great deal.  Note: Ebay may not be the best place to see how much 'educated' people are willing to pay.  Maybe Heritage would be better but most stuff there is a lot more high end and you always have to factor in the 15% fee that is paid.[/QUOTE]
