jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 04/08/2015 1:44 pm I don't think it's useless. I mean it DOES give a "floor" or basis with which to bargin. And it offers a good counter argument when you are out hunting and someone has used the RedBook as their pricing source. As a dealer I would LOVE to get RedBook prices. So no, it does have it's uses.

Now that we have a billion auction results with the swipe of our phones it's yesterday's news. Kinda like using a phone book to find a phone number Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16680 Posts	Posted 04/08/2015 3:40 pm Real auction results are the closest thing to a coins FMV. I use the Greysheet but I don't swear by it. If I were to sell coins based solely on it, I'd be broke. Again, quality and eye appeal aren't in the Greysheet. Colonials? Whole different animal/market. If it's a coin I really want, I've overpayed. Who hasn't? swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
