While I saw the post on the bad sellers, I think it is more important to highlite the good guys who need to be recognised for superior service and accuracy and honesty in the way they go about Ebay. I'll start the list with a cpl of my best people. 1. bhunter508 I have listed him on another thread, a stand up guy there needs to be more like him. 2. xp808 Excellent service and honest pictures, good selection and fast shipper. Will not cheat or make false claims to raise bid prices. 3. ccso299 Have bought multiples and always better than expected, some real bargains to be had due to poor pic quality, but I know them to be fast and usually higher quality and undergraded material.
I think this thread is a great idea. I too believe that the sellers that consistantly treat their customers right, deserve recognition. TCPPCT I buy rolls of pre1940 all different lincolns off this seller. And everytime he has some rolls available, I buy all that he has. I bought a roll of him, and pulled the BU 1925D Wheatie that i have out of the roll. All the coins he sells are avg circulated with no culls and no extremely worn coins. But he does throw some good dates and high grades in the rolls as well. W.Albers Great communication and sells the nicest Wheaties Ive come accross. Ive bought alot of coins from this seller, and alot turned out to be MS66 and even some higher. And not one coin so far has been much less, unless he stated so. If he says its a nice looking full red, I know Ill get a beautiful coin. Piercedl Ive bought just about ever single roll thats in my BU Memorial set, off this seller. He has never sent me any problem rolls. No spots, no toned coins, no finger prints, only the best. His prices also tend to be alot better than any other sellers. And from experience, if I buy a roll from another seller, they almost always are problem rolls, I end up having to upgrade the roll, and always buy the new upgraded roll from this seller. xp808 I want to agree with ArizonaJack. Although I havent done many transactions with this seller, I was very pleased with the ones I have. Great communication, and the coins I got were better than described. I knew exactly what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised when I realised the coin exceeded my expectations.
I appreciate you support guyw, but I cannot return the favor since I have bought from neither of you. As for good sellers: 618evan - see http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=30061 numiscent KKCCSMPB
Im going to have to say... myself! edited - you can name anybody you want EXCEPT yourself but also I'd like to add: HCC-inc (a member here, "budgood") Mel-ko (random guy/compnay I came across, but fair and honest) Coinsfromjack (another random guy, hes very nice) suncoins_liquidations (company, but they have nice lots, ive purchased a few of them)
Great thread. Thanks, Az. It's important to have balance on the E-Bay issue; we usually hear the bad news. There's good E-Bayers out there. Overall, I've been happy.
Ive bought several top quality PCGS gems from Ira Stein iras4 . He is a true gentleman and a scholar who brings the finest coins to ebay Ive ever seen.
antiquarica - good ancients, new ones almost weekly. Prices generally stay low, but theres a slight risk of misattribution (which usually works in your favor!) ancientauctionhouse.com - daily auctions, nice variety s*p*q*r - again, daily auctions. usually at least two or three sestertii in each. romandetector - a guy out of England. digs up all of his wares. I've gotten some very cheap Anglo-Saxon coins from him.
