I thought it might be neat to see who can snag the best ebay deal for a calendar month and have the forum vote. Anyone interested? You would have to be the winner of the auction (for this month from January 1 - 31) and post a link\picture and price you snagged coin for. On Feb 1st we would start a poll for 1 week and most votes wins.

Maybe the poll should start later than Feb. 1, to allow for folks to receive their purchase(s). That's when they'll really have the ability to convince that it was a great purchase.

For example, the coin in the following thread wasn't a known amazing deal until it showed up on the doorstep:

I won't be doing any buying, but I would vote for sure.

No schmidty, no ebay employee here :) I just figured thats where most people get 'deals' as coin shops would rarely overlook a variety (I would hope). Yahoo Auctions, Coin stores or whatever could be game.

Steve,
I am up for a poll later than Feb 1st. I was just floating the idea. Glad to see some interest!

Count me in.

I agree with the Feb outline. It lets us all have coin in hand for purchases for auction vs in hand pic submissions.

If this gets officially organized, I will put up a $20 gift certificate for our store to the winner. 1 per month.

Sounds like fun!

I always like to hear about all the good deals you guys get - it's good to know they're still out there. And even if there's only one 'winner', everyone else will still get a chance to brag a bit
Rest in Peace
