[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1887553, member: 75105"]Lately everything (or at at least what I collect), is being listed at exactly retail value. There is a 1905 Canada 50C in VF-20, which is worth $850 problem free, however this one is cleaned and they are asking $500 starting bid. Coins listed at 99 cents on eBay have no problem realizing full value. I know people can ask whatever the want, but what's the point of an auction if the starting bid is full value? The point of an auction is to start low and go from there, but there is nowhere to go if the starting price is so high. Often these coins get 1 bid, or no bids at all. Not understanding these "buy it now auctions".[/QUOTE]
