justanothercoinaddict Valued Member United States 467 Posts	Posted 03/31/2017 3:59 pm For those of you who shop for coins on ebay you know how frustrating it can be, what with the poor photography, the same worn-out junk showing up week-in and week-out, and, well all of those pet peeves we have regarding ebay. So, I decided to close my account. ebay gives you 60 days to change your mind and, in a fit of boredom I decided that I had better reconsider, so I contacted ebay and they reinstated my account. About 15 minutes after I had it reinstated I was going through listings and making new searches when, all of a sudden, up pops a coin which I had been unsuccessfully trying to find for years! Better yet it was a Buy It Now listing with crisp, clear photography, and so here I present to you my reason for not giving up on ebay yet.... Report this Post to the Staff

the_sifu Valued Member Canada 275 Posts	Posted 04/01/2017 2:12 pm I will put in my $0.02 comments on ebay. Buying or bidding on a coin(s) on ebay, patience is definitely a virtue. There are days I see a whole lot of nothing. Poor quality photos in my eyes can be an opportunity (a potential great cherry pick) or a bad bet. I won more times than I got burnt on a seller's poor quality photos. I'm sure most of you all reading this, have HD - High definition monitors or an iPad or some tablet with great resolution. Collecting is part patience, luck, and frustration, and not in the any order. Report this Post to the Staff

It's like buying a scratch lottery ticket, but with better odds. I can (most often) read through the seller's blurs and scans - and hidden treasures can be found. Report this Post to the Staff
