Prices on Widgets seem to be falling

So I'll stumble upon widget type coins on eBay and throw up a low bid. I am surprised how many of these lower bids stick and I end up winning the coin. Now, super cool coins are still pricey- it is the common type stuff that seems to be selling at discount prices.
Here are two example, most recently:
This MS66 PCGS 1938-S Nickel was accepted by the seller at an counteroffer price of $19.00:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1938-S-MS66-Jefferson-Nickel/143834790566?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
I know you can't depend on price guides, yet they still list this coin at about twice that (PCGS price guide).
I would think any graded MS66 silver Rosevelt is a good deal at this price (especially in MS66):https://www.ebay.com/itm/1963-D-10C-ROOSEVELT-DIME-NGC-MS66-RAINBOW-ONE-DOLLAR-START-NO-RESERVE-/254775539188?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&nma=true&si=5%2BRrQV6p64%2BHhEuNT%2Frc8h%2BjI%2Bg%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc
Yes, there is postage- yet still the price paid seems low.
Now, this one was just for fun. I like the toning and overall appearance of it and at the price, was a easy pick:https://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-S-Washington-25cent-NGC-PF-66/193575677541?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Again, just throwing up casual bids and finding more and more are closing out with these bids/prices becoming more of the norm than in days past.

Even this PCGS PR69DCAM Kennedy half for $7.99 with free shipping:

Non-Full Steps and Non-Full Bands go cheap.
You couldn't get those coins graded for cheaper than what you paid. Unless, you are a huge bulk TPG submitter. Good buys.
I retailed (bay) a common date NGC 65 WLH 50c for 30 pct over what I bought it for a couple weeks prior there (bay) just simply able buy it right. Surprised moved it so quick.
The WR in the right place at the right time beating the defense on that play. That’s how I roll.
Nice pickup on the KH. Many people collect inexpensive material by country, theme and their bd. Many not some digital guy glued to the sheet or biased against certain issues or valuation ranges. The reality is it all ads up.
Received a beautiful graded world banknote cost $29 (what would cost get graded after shipx and tack on fees).
The right source (buying it right) plus the right buyer (paying retail money) makes it work especially when bids (sheet) may not be moving up. Online for me since Jan booming at least up to this point.
This is 10 year old news... LOL
The price on this widget is EXPLODING!
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1929-D-Buffalo-Nickel-Five-Cents/174515386130?hash=item28a1ed7712:g:g-IAAOSw-mNfh92U&LH_Auction=1
Keep on mind that auctions on Ebay are a toss up, especially depending on the ending time of the auction and about a hundred other variables.
LOL. Love the $3.80 shipping too.

I have heard from different sources recently about purchases on ebay for good prices and a quick flip at a profit. I am not in the business, but it seems opportunity is knocking for those who do indulge. Cheers, RickO
To be fair, a PCGS PR 70 1929 D from the Ottawa mint is probably a bargain at $20,003.80.
The OP is right!!! The starting price on that 1929-D buffalo nickel just dropped to $18,750! Hmmm, should I wait for it to drop to $15k so I can brag about getting a great rip?
