I still think bad pics stink. For every gem you pick up cheap you'd probably be returning or "eating" 10 other duds not worth half what you paid.

I just posted on this, but IMO it isn't bad pics that keep folks from bidding on many coins, it is a combination of either being drastically overpriced OR the pack mentality thing at play. People just don't want to be "the first" to bid - unless it is a .99 opener that is - which is why so many advocate that technique BTW as it means 10-20 bids before reaching what others start at - but that level of activity seems to comfort many buyers for some inexplicable reason(the pack metality thing at work IMO)!

I really think it's a good thing you feel that way Buffalo,it works to my advantage.And for the record, I have only returned one coin....but for $8K profit,I'd say it's working pretty well for me.

That and the fact that some people like to go to an auction site for the novel concept of bidding on an auction, instead of being able to offer more than retail.
