ebay fees top out at $400. I think there is no ceiling on Paypal fees though. ebay is actually a pretty good place to sell high value coins.

Should be for sale at Stack's Bowers/Heritage/Legend/Great Collections. Not ebay.
Even if I had that much money, I would never purchase something with that high value on ebay.

reserve not met! reserve is not disclosed.
Description says appraised at $7.5 million.

ebay fees are capped, so will be much cheaper to sell
no buyer's premium, so will be theoretically cheaper to buy


Payment terms:
Paypal 5,000 deposit, then seller requires a wired payment of the balance.

Why not, that's just silly not to just because of some stigma. They're easily traceable and from a real seller.

If the market was there you'd see ebay flooded with listings like this since the fees are capped

Yeah, this definitely benefits both parties.

ebay fees cheaper than Heritage auction fees.

Much more important:- You have to know the reputation of the seller.
If someone had the money to buy and was interested, and the reputation of the seller not known, the next obvious step
would be to fully investigate the seller's reputation.
That is one of the reasons why Heritage fees are high.

At this price level, I would also verify the slabs. The TPGrader should be able to confirm.

Think of all the additional traffic that's being driven to his other auctions merely because of this one listing

Hmmm, I see an interesting scam possibility. Accept the offer, get the $5000 PayPal deposit, then get the wired balance, and don't ship anything. PayPal has the buyers back, for $5000. The buyers on the hook for the rest of it. Of course if the seller gets caught its wire fraud.

It's Barry Stuppler. If I wanted it and had the money I wouldn't hesitate one second.

That's really S-T-R-E-T-C-H-I-N-G it, if you ask me.

Bobby131313 is right.
I don't know the seller, but he does.
That is a basic due diligence first step completed, in
checking the reputation of the seller, before submitting a bid.

Appraised at $7.5M, reserve above $6M. It's not unreasonable to not accept that "loss", or the seller set an absurdly high reserve in order to see what bidders are willing to pay.
