If you do not like Ebay I recommend Wensy.com to buy coins/currency. They do not have as big a selection as Ebay but I have found some pretty good deals there. And if your selling, NO FEES!!
You weren't kidding about the tiny selection. 11 ancient coins, total. Of these three were identical fakes (or maybe an unfortunate stock photo?) and only one even remotely close to being properly attributed. I'll pass for now, thanks.
I've looked a few times. But sadly, this site has the problem of all the other "no fee" sites. They aren't auctions - whatever is listed as "opening bid" is the price you'll get it for. And since there are no fees, the same stuff gets listed again and again and again and again and again. What I would love to see is a site that charges very modest fees (really low) so sellers would have to put a little more thought into presentation and prices. But thaniks for the post. There maybe something for someone! You never know.

That's a 125% increase not 225%. The January figure is 225% of the Dec figure, but the INCREASE over Dec is only 125%
Good catch, Conder. I dislike seeing mathematics used incorrectly. The frequency with which I see it amazes me.
If the site owner is that sloppy with his math, how precise will he be with other things, like booting Chinese fakes? BTW - be still my beating heart. Four listings of Japanese coins:1 both overpriced and misattributed and 2 overpriced. CORRECTION: All three of the overpriced coins are misattributed!
