TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4867 Posts	Posted 05/19/2005 7:51 pm Since there has been much discussion about ebay, I thought of something. Could it be possible that you can get a better idea of what a coin trends for from ebay rather than a price guide or grey sheet? When you think about it, how often do you see a coin sell on ebay for what the price guide or greysheet says? David Report this Post to the Staff

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 05/19/2005 8:32 pm I think it depends on where you are buying/selling. The ebay market is very volatile and I have seen some pretty radical changes from week to week. From what I have seen, ebay cannot be relied on for prices at coin shows and many dealers. Greysheet is your best bet for that. Report this Post to the Staff

national dealer Pillar of the Community United States 2724 Posts	Posted 05/20/2005 11:46 am Susan hit the nail on the head. ebay is quite useful for modern coins, and error coins, and some other coins that do not get traded as frequently. It should be used in conjunction with a guide such as the Greysheet. You have to take into consideration that prices on ebay are reflected heavily on whom is selling the material. Between photos and feedback the prices can fluxuate quite a bit. Report this Post to the Staff
