I have been logged in an observing many online auction sites and have noticed that 95% of all Coin sales are at or around top, open market price. Plus, there are shipping fees and 15%-19% premium added to the buyers total! I always thought that "auctions" were a place to get good deals. What i'm saying, is that if you have to pay such a high price at online auctions, you may as well buy from local coin dealers.
I use the CPG Coin & Currency market Review for avg prices for MS grade levels. Online buyers are buying them at or many times ABOVE their market value.
A question about Online Auctions.....
