Typical overpriced ebay listing. Did it come from an unsearched roll?

Some hard-to-find and rare coins are only that because the owner can't remember where he put them. My local dealer has lots of those - or so he tells me.

I just listed >8< I.C.C.S. graded coins yesterday. Perhaps I should have also mentioned the words: "Hard to Find", a "Key Date", has "Low Mintage", and is a "Rare Coin".

Its amazing how much the price of the coin depends on the wording of the title and listing. WOW- I need to get better at wording my ebay listings.

There you go Glenn, you may get way more bids using some of those ebay key words.

Back to inventor's initial question...

I totally agree with kuh-85:


Quote:
"The only bidders have very low feedback scores so probably quite inexperienced in determing 'real' value."


I doubt that even newbie eBayer bidders were fooled into thinking that this was a rare or valuable coin... and it wasn't "overpriced" as the auction started at .99 cents.

What happened was that two guys duked it out to win the auction and let emotion over ride logic...

One time I had a fairly average common quarter for auction that should have ended with a price of $20 bucks... two guys got into a bidding duel and it ended up selling for $80!

Take care, and Have a Great Monday!
