I agree. For that price they can keep it.
The coins certainly aren't priced to move.

If that's the case, it is an expensive way to do it. I guess if you sell a coin now and then, it pays for itself.

You are correct. I have spoken with him many times and so I can vouch that this is the case. His coins are not on Ebay to sell them.

30 times? Try 165 times. Greysheet is currently $42 bid. Granted his coin is worth more than that, but nearly $7,000. No way. Why would someone pay Ebay to post coins that obviously are going to sell? That's ridiculous!

eBay store listings have very low fees for a listing with a long duration time.

You're right, I think dizzy switched links on me, the original coin was a MS66, but you're right now.

I'd buy every coin (of equal caliber) I could get my hands on for that price!

So what exactly is the purpose?

<< <i>About the dumbest strategy I've ever seen. A sure fire way to eliminate any transparency at all even if the owner sincerely decides to sell. Had the owner possessed an ounce of sense, he would have either offered them anonymously through an agent, or he would have offered them in a venue that required offers only. The cert. numbers have established the coins identity, and thus a red flag for informed collectors to steer clear of.
I don't see why anyone who's intersted in these, would steer clear of them just because the auction strategy. At the right price, which is not stratosphere far from those asking prices, those coins will be gobbled up.

Someone pointed out that very few of his coins are selling. With that, why do you guess they will be gobbled up? The prices look insane to me, and it's too much of a coincidence that every last one of his coins look like something out of the Yellow Submarine movie. Ridiculous.

Key words... 'at the right price'.

At $7,000 this would be closer to 100x greysheet.
I think the sellers' intention for coins like this is to sell them off eBay -- use eBay to get the coin seen, knowing no one will pay $7K for it, and set up a fee-free transaction off eBay for a more acceptable price.
