Another eBay Good Deal?

Okay, so there's a local coin show in my area this weekend and as I always do, I run a 4 day check on eBay's completed listings for prices items sold for and make a list with item #s. I do this because I always run into some dealer who wants to claim that, "they're selling for more on eBay." This way I can pull out my lists and show them the completed sales for the same item is selling for less than they're asking for.

Anywho, I came across this item that I found particularly par for the course:

1914D

NGC lists the value at $4350 and the seller wants $654,321.00.

Talk about nickel and diming buyers to death!

    What coin are you getting? The image is of an MS63, but the item description states ICG VG10???

    The seller is just assuring the fact that they don't undersell the coin, and are hoping they can get the absolute highest offer. There is also a possibility that they did not know what price to put on the coin so they listed it super high for good measure.

    The 63 looks nice from what can be seen if the pics are anything like the coin.

    But then the buyer might get the ICG VG10 mentioned in the item description.
