When an eBay buyer wins an item for X, there is often an underbidder
who was willing to pay X minus Y. *Everything else being equal, I
would expect to get X minus Y for an example that I listed, or close
to it. *In that sense, eBay is indeed an indication of the coin
market.

That doesn't take "auction fever" into account.
Over the years I've seen many items go for wildly high prices and a
similar item sell for a fraction of that just days later.
Auction fever is the main reason I snipe at the last possible second -
not only does no one else get to bid up the item but, if my bid isn't
high enough, I also don't have time to up my bid. That's saved me a
homely penny over the years
Anyhoo...
One has to wonder why Frank sells on eBay.
According to him they've booted him off and cancelled his auctions
almost innumerable times.
Now he claims eBay is at fault because his coins don't sell for more
than he paid for them.
Seems to me that is more a reflection of his abilities as a coin dealer
than a fault of the auction site.
Every day 1000's of folks buy and sell stuff on eBay, the vast majority
of them happy as clams.
So why is Frank always whining?

Holy **** RWF, I actually agree with something you said for once.
However, do not let it got your head I still think you are full of
****.
