When the key date ms66+ is $6k cheaper than the ms66, what is going with the market in our hobby?

Came across this interesting listings for an 1885 V nickel
One is a ms66 for 17.5k, where as an ms66+ CAC is up for sale at 11k with some pleasant toning
What is going on with our market? Are dealers holding onto inventory, or is some desperate and attempting to liquidate for some funds? I think its alarming the upgrade plus can and toning is significantly cheaper.

Sellers can ask what they want. So I don't think that these two listings imply what you think as neither coin has sold.
@DallaDalla69 You are conflating or comparing a Fixed Price Buy It Now (MS-66) — versus an Auction (MS-66+) with 5 days remaining to bid up the price.

This is the second thread you've started trying to draw conclusions based on asks. Only look at SOLD prices. Even then you'll see some odd variations because people will pay more for toning or eye appeal. But you can not conclude anything from all prices.
Look at the other thread with the fake 1944 steel cent for $1500. Should you conclude that the value of a fake 44 steel is $1500?
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
Many "ask" prices are nothing more than attempts to find a "live one" with more money than sense.
Its Ebay, dumb -A$$es abound there.
You don’t need to go to or blame Ebay for high ask prices. They can be found just about anywhere.

Sometimes I think they use these crazy ask prices as a form of free publicity.
Gets you starting a discussion then some people poke around their inventory.

Asking prices can represent pride in ownership, lack of knowledge, sales hype or just wishful thinking....oh yeah, sometimes reality...
