Beffalo thats pretty much how my google searches have always gone as well. Ill have to check out bobpaulrarecoins sometime.
I hate when theres a hard to find coin and it takes you to a site where the coin has already sold and all it did was get your hopes up.
ebay for the most part does seem to have the best deals especially on moderns if you put in the time to look. One thing I've found that helps sometimes is sort buy it now prices by the lowest price and look for one with a best offer as well if there are any. But I think in the future I will try and stick more to dealers that I've had success with. I do like david lawrence as well except for moderns they rarely will take a best offer that isn't very close to list price
