<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 7871772, member: 75937&quot;]I don&#039;t know about the market for modern coins on eBay, but the days of the good deal on raw (but genuine) ancients on eBay are long gone. Instead, the buyer has five options:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Buy a <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/274920304103?hash=item400286ede7:g:bBIAAOSw0lVhJjzL" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/274920304103?hash=item400286ede7:g:bBIAAOSw0lVhJjzL" rel="nofollow">fake at a low price</a>.</p><p>2. Buy a genuine raw<a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/113131165366?hash=item1a572496b6%3Ag%3AmG0AAOSwkE9bPf6i&amp;LH_BIN=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/113131165366?hash=item1a572496b6%3Ag%3AmG0AAOSwkE9bPf6i&amp;LH_BIN=1" rel="nofollow"> coin at a price quadruple or more of that it would sell for elsewhere</a> through the &quot;buy it now&quot; or &quot;make an offer&quot; options. </p><p>3. Buy a <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/403114708515?hash=item5ddb824e23:g:YN8AAOSwxJJgV3Bw" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/403114708515?hash=item5ddb824e23:g:YN8AAOSwxJJgV3Bw" rel="nofollow">$45 coin in a $50 slab for $250</a>.</p><p>4. The particularly egregious <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/234094347099?hash=item36811c435b:g:s8wAAOSwuYdg9DkX" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/234094347099?hash=item36811c435b:g:s8wAAOSwuYdg9DkX" rel="nofollow">combination of an outrageously priced coin and a slab</a>. That&#039;s a coin that might bring 36 Euro at a Savoca Blue or Zeus Numismatics auction, btw.</p><p>5. Wade through thousands of listings looking to cherry-pick an unrecognized rarity among the job lots and junk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
