I'd be happy to be pointed to other threads, but I am curious to hear what on line vendors you all use and have found offer the right combination of 'good deal' and 'fair dealing'. After all, I am always looking for something better than full retail... but also want to know that the dealer is honest, has a good website, good inventory levels, and is willing to bargain a little time to time. Anyone? And don't say ebay... I use it, and sell there, but its definately not the answer to me for the long run of my collecting needs.
I've ordered a bumber of times from cheapslabs.com. Not a huge inventory, but a pretty good web site and good prices on most of the stuff (some things are more expensive than competitors). Fast shipping and good customer service. I've also ordered a couple of times from coastcoin.com, and they have always been quick to send the things. The prices aren't always the lowest, but the quality of the things I've bought have been good (unlike eBay where people "forget" to mention toning on new coins...)
ive dealt a number of times with mintproducts.com they are not the fastest to ship however the have a good inventory that cycles regularly and have a great selection of both domestic and forgin coins,
Northeast Coin www.northeastcoin.com is excellent. I have used a number of dealers and they are by far the best I;ve used yet. They: ship same day with credit card payment sell coins that meet all expectations provided in their description and are the exact coints photographed sell for reasonable prices have a large inventory allow bargaining on most of their coins are very friendly and pesonable if you telephone them. All in all, I highly recommend them.
I will check each of those out. I am in the slow process of moving from large buys of lots to individual coins, and I want to deal with a reputable dealer for those purchases. thanks.
I sent an email with some business questions regarding payment types etc to northeastcoin and they were really fast at getting back and answering questions... nice to have good service up front. I've shopped around a bit, and see some nice toned coins (special section for those) and a great selection on good quality slabbed buffalo nickels, which I've been looking for.
