inventor719 Valued Member Canada 189 Posts	Posted 01/30/2013 3:15 pm Here is an ad I found on ebay. It is a 1929 Canada 1c in normal condition. I have tons of these. Do you have any idea why the current bid is $10.50? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Canadian-Co...ht_874wt_966 Report this Post to the Staff

twoplustwo Valued Member Canada 287 Posts	Posted 01/30/2013 3:46 pm Didn't you read the description? It's because it's "Hard to Find", a "Key Date", has "Low Mintage", and is a "Rare Coin". Report this Post to the Staff
inventor719 Valued Member Canada 189 Posts	Posted 01/30/2013 3:50 pm Ohh, the seller is making it seem like a rarer coin than it actually is. I should try that some time... Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 01/30/2013 4:14 pm Given the angle of the photograph, maybe some bidders think it is the 'High 9' variety (which it is not)...

kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 01/30/2013 10:20 pm The only bidders have very low feedback scores so probably quite inexperienced in determing 'real' value. Report this Post to the Staff

ericmckeown Valued Member United States 379 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 12:43 pm Typical overpriced ebay listing. Did it come from an unsearched roll? Report this Post to the Staff
lyradnoj Pillar of the Community Canada 548 Posts	Posted 02/01/2013 2:35 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff
glenzy1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1554 Posts	Posted 02/01/2013 5:58 pm 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". Glenn Report this Post to the Staff

inventor719 Valued Member Canada 189 Posts	Posted 02/01/2013 6:42 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff
