I've gotten burned by Yahoo Auctions before. Never had it happen on ebay, and I've had 500+ transactions there.
Thanks, I'll get that one :)
Anybody have any recommendations for a good magnifying glass that I can carry with me to flea markets, coin shops, etc.?
I've also heard about the bake-in-a-potato thing too. Has anybody ever tried it?
