Stan Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 05/04/2007 8:32 pm Bit late here but it beats starting a new thread. ebay is, by far, the best place to buy coins. Why? Because you're in a store where there are literally millions of sellers. Coin shops have a very limited supply, and they can sell fakes too. I've bought coins on ebay for years without problems. I've also found some amazing deals. The majority of people selling coins on ebay don't know their value. Therefore, you can get great stuff for dirt cheap. The whole point of ebay is not to make millions but to save hundreds. I've bought coins worth $15 for $1. That's $14 off the catalog price. I've bought coins worth $125 for $40. That's 33% of the catalog value. Heck, I've occassionally overpaid to get rare stuff. I'd like to see one local coin shop with coins from Russian Turkestan. Report this Post to the Staff
Morganator Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 05/11/2007 02:39 am I sell on ebay, (but can't tell you who I am until I get 50 posts). The general rule of thumb people use is to only bid one grade lower than advertised. If you stick with this, you might get some good deals every once in a while. Also, when I list coins I am not interested in keeping, I generally list them at half their posted value in Coin World's coin values magazine (a montly publication that updates values). Usually these are coins I buy in larger collections that I have no interest in. I don't need to make much more than my money back that I spent to buy the collection plus I get to keep other good coins from the collection, so I generally let these go at a discounted rate, just to move them and get my $ back quicker, so the answer to your question is yes, you can get some good deals as long as the guy or gal has good feedback.

halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 05/11/2007 12:48 pm ebay is great for seasoned collectors, but ebay needs a viable competitor in order to become a stronger site overall and to help the business/hobby generally. Report this Post to the Staff
