Wornslick Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 11/17/2013 3:55 pm A few days ago I bid on a 1921-S Walking Liberty PCGS VG-8. After checking the greysheet which has it at $45-$52 and then the Numismedia online Fair Value which is at $83.00 I placed a bid at $70.00 and after buyers premium of $14 I was at $84.00 Previous prices have been anywhere from $52 too $82.00 so I figured I was right in line with the going price. Today I was outbid. The same coin on E-Bay are selling for $139.95. Why is there such a wild differences in prices? Report this Post to the Staff

Past auction realized prices plus a premium of some amount when buying from a dealer. That's what I have seen on ebay anyway, waiting to be sold to someone with no patience to wait for one to come up in a true auction. Report this Post to the Staff
unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 11/17/2013 6:13 pm Availability + Desire + Urgency + "fill in the blank of a hundred other variables = value. This is guaranteed to change constantly. To make the equation simpler.... how bad someone wants to sell + how bad someone wants to buy determines the final price. It is like trying to publish a book of stock prices....even if you published a new edition every day it wouldn't be perfectly accurate. Report this Post to the Staff
