Buying coins off CT

ok, Q: is it a good idea to buy coins under the "classifieds"? I would think its better thn e-bay but puting this out to you. I would enjoy any comments or experiences youve had.

For example? would it be a good idea to start a thread that dvertizes I am interested in a common dat Morgan, slabbed, MS 63or64 with good toning?

thanks for all input:yes:

Ive sold several coins on here in the past and have great experience with it. I have also bought a couple too. Nothing very high price like many listed but double digit coins. Again no problems.

It doesnt have the ebay exposure but it sure beats paying ebay fees!

 

I agree. I've had good experiences both buying and selling.

 

I think it would be pretty safe. Most of the members that advertise have been here for a while and some of them are long-term dealers. Besides, as a member posted on a contest thread also applies here...."Not sending you prize (product) to the winner (buyer) will result in everyone not liking you"

​

 

I've also both purchased and sold here and I thought everybody performed exactly as one would hope.

 

I have never had a problem. I have bought from several people on cointalk. Dealers and members both.

 

It's always nice to discover reputable coin buyers/sellers.

 

Welcome, and the 10 posts we require before buy/sell/trading does give us some experience with you. Posting a thread in the "introductions", is a good way to get started.

ok thanks all...will possibly look for "something "soon

 

Been there.
Done that.
Both ways and it worked great every time.

 

I have bought and sold and had positive experiences.

 

Are you kidding? I wouldn't trust anyone, here!

Wow, I was just about to say I'm crafting my first "Wanted" post to try it out...until I saw #13. Thanks for the heads-up, Chris!

 

Maybe if it was, say, 500-1000 posts to get into the classifieds, combined with being a member in good standing for 6 months, the classifieds would work better. As is, I can just sign up a new account, post in random threads 10 times, and viola! I'm in.

As a rule of hand, I'd have no problem buying from someone here who appears to be knowledgable, smart, and respected. Their reputation, which often extends far beyond this forum, is at stake.

 

Have you been burned with this site?

Ya wanna buy a duck?
