Having been awoke from a long sabbatical leave, I read a majority of the commentators' responses here which did not surprised me. In fact, varying perspectives are quite refreshing. For me, I am an avid collector as well as an investor. I tend to purchase to fill in the collection for my children and in-the-future grandchildren (I better add an excerpt in my existing will as to who gets what). On the flip side, my tendency is to purchase silver/gold current (when the market is down) and highly graded old coins via reliable and trustworthy auction sites i.e. Auction Zip.com. I also use ebay because if I time it right (less bidders), I can get a good deal below the market price like I did last night. But doing research is critical such as who the seller (independent, company, or auctioneers) otherwise it is a wasted money if you are going to treat it as hobby/investment. If ever I plan to sell in the future, ebay is not the way.
