That’s some price 90th but to be fair it does have a ‘Best Offer’ and perhaps like me when I list medals, they hope their Ebay listing will make potential buyers check their website out and buy direct from them at a much cheaper price
Ebay charge 10% and then force Paypal on you so you loose 14% of your total to them, therefore when I list I add 14% that doesn’t need to be paid if going direct. I rarely sell anything on Ebay but its good free advertising.
These days unless your lucky with research or get a lucky purchase, 15-20% is a common profit margin, so a dealer to sell anything on Ebay at a realistic price is difficult, especially SA 1877-9's.

Hi Jager1 It makes some sense when you look at it from the seller's point of view , I'm not aware if they have an Online site as you have . I'm watching it , so will take note if it's sold by the ' Make an Offer ' option . I'll have a proper look later to see if they do indeed have a shop or similar . Cheers 90th

I could of course be wrong about them 90th, just talking from my own perspective
