Come join me for my numismatic Black Friday this Thanksgiving week.

Some key dates and some common coins for beginners. Check out my
feedback - I am not a dealer, just a guy selling off some of his
collection.

You listed your 1947 ML Canada dollar at full catalogue value - hardly a "really
good deal" IMO.

According to the 2011 Charlton Guild it is worth $1100. I am asking
$999. Thats a 10% reduction on a key PCGS graded coin. Coins like
that just keep going up in value so I am less willing to discount.
However many of the coins I am selling are well below trend and the
majority start at $9.99 with no reserve.

It's quoted at $1000 in the 2011 Haxby and in CCN Trends, so your "reduction" is
1/10 of 1%
Nobody in their right mind pays Charlton value for that particular coin, as it
is not all that hard to locate in nice condition.
Furthermore it hasn't fluctuated greatly in value for several years.
Selling it for $999 may be a "really good deal" for you but not for the buyer.

The seller is entitled to determin its price. You do not have to buy the
item

Obviously.
Nevertheless, when someone posts to the group claiming his coins are a "really
good deal", that poster must expect commentary.

I fully agree. Let it be known that although that was my asking price
I did eventually sell the coin for $750 off Ebay. All prices are
negotiable.
