<< <i>I think in today's market, the real price guide is ebay. Coin prices on ebay are like the stock market on Wall Street. The prices fluctuate in real time. I rarely use a price guide as a barometer for what a coin is worth. In fact, I think every single thing that we purchase is overinflated. I can always get coins cheaper than the price of any price guide on Ebay. When I am selling, I simply look at other auctions which have same coin I am selling and see what it sold for. >>
For common coins in common condition, this may be the case. For the rest, ebay is largely irrelevant.
