<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1497000, member: 25270"]I generally rely on Krause, knowing that a coin I buy or sell probably won't end up at the exact price that Krause says. But when you start to specialize in a certain country or series you also develop a feeling for if the Krause values are high or low for those coins. I buy a lot on eBay, and after bidding on a lot of auctions or watching completed listings, I can tell how popular something is. For example, Greek, Spanish and Portuguese coins I've bid on tend to go below the Krause values. So do most Mexican coins, with some exceptions. Irish and New Zealand coins tend to go above their book value. What it comes down to is that if Krause says a certain coin is worth $10 and you are constantly bidding $15 and losing the auction, then that country or coin seems to be trending upwards. But there's no absolutes either. It can just depend on what buyers are online at that time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
