<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2717742, member: 112&quot;]Yes, that is a piece of the explanation, but only a tiny piece. The real issue, or problem, with price guides, and I mean all of them, is the sources they use to establish the prices. In most cases the sources turn out to be nothing more than dealer asking prices. </p><p><br /></p><p>So why is that a problem ? It&#039;s quite simple, it&#039;s because dealer asking prices can vary by as much as 100% or more. In other words dealer A may be asking $300 for a coin while dealer B is asking $600 for the very same coin. And if you ask the same 2 dealers about another coin that situation may reverse, A may be asking double what B is asking for that particular coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once you understand this, it&#039;s quite easy to understand why price guides differ so much from each other. This guide asks that group of dealers what their asking prices are, and that guide asks a different group of dealers what their asking prices are. So of course the values put into the price guides are going to be grossly different - since each guide is using a different source or sources.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
