I have never bought stuff on E-bay, because there are other and better sites available in the Netherlands where I live. Therefore I cannot give an reliable opinion about this subject.

www.colonialacres.com for all your Canadian coins. The prices on 2x2s are very good as well.

www.collectorssupplyhouse.com - Gardmaster albums. It's a shame the US ones don't have the dates imprinted like the Canadian ones do, with the exception of the State Quarter and Presidential dollar series. Both of these used to be local for me, but alas, now I'm about 1-1.5 hours away.

Heritage Auctions have high quality product and buys can be had if you do your homework. A lot of people over pay when they can usually get the coin at a more reasonable price in a future auction. Online... Andy Dee's in Virginia have some nice coins. He and his wife have been in the business for quite some time. Pennies and Buffalo nickels are his specialties.

I go to my local coin shows, there are at least 2 a month all summer long. Its nice to walk out with the coins in hand, not pay any shipping, and usually save money. After awhile you get to know some of the dealers and they will give some pretty good deals. I have found if I buy a few coins at once they give some good discounts. Most of the common stuff (under 5 bucks each) are nice to get at the coin shows. The last one I went to I got some Lincoln proofs for $1 each, a 53 proof for $30, and a 1995 DDO for $50 (maybe 60) graded by NGC. I would highly recommend coin shows to anybody!

Start with harlanjberk.com There's lots to look at there, in every price range, and most everything is photographed.

With that all I can say is AHHHHHHHH. That place is here in Chicago, downtown on Clark Street. I USED to go there a lot. Actually for so long now that it was a different name way, way back then. At first when they became Harlan J. Berk they were pretty good on coin types, grades and prices. Then for the last few years they changed to overpriced, poor grading, lots of cleaned coins, rude and ignorant people in the store. Being around there so much it used to be I would go there as much as a place for food until they got stupid. Lots of stories about junk coins, cleaned coins, overpriced, etc.
Now I cross the street so I don't have to be on the same side as them.
As to on line dealers the only ones I've tried is Miller's Mint, VT Coins and JMS coins. Miller's Mint is great, VT Coins is or was OK but never tried them in the last few years. JMSCoins is well into the very expensive stuff. With a multitude of coin shows, coin stores, flea markets, on line coin dealers are last on my list.
