<p>[QUOTE="Silvergmen, post: 4851439, member: 114357"]Hello all! I have been buying a good amount of morgans on ebay and i have learned a few new things that i think may help some of you buyers and wanted to pass it along. I searched the forum, and i dont believe these same tips have been listed recently (but im sure i could have missed it). </p><p><br /></p><p>#1 - A lot of people cant take good pictures and therefore don't attract as many potential buyers. I LOVE that NGC takes pictures of the coins they grade, as i have been able to look them up and see what the coin really looks like. I would not have bought the coin otherwise, and i got a couple of great deals because the seller put up some bad pictures. Bad pictures on NGC coins can equal a great deal! </p><p><br /></p><p>#2 - Make an offer listings. This has worked for me a bunch of times now. Wait and see if the coin has been sitting a long while, and make an offer you feel really good about if they accept. I combine this with #1 above, and have scored a few nice deals. </p><p><br /></p><p> - Variation: dont be afraid to make multiple offers even when rejected..wait a few days to see if the coin is still there and make another offer. You get 5 offers, so patience can pay off. </p><p><br /></p><p>#3 - Bad rated sellers. I used to stay away like the plague. But i noticed most of the poor feedback was either not coin related or was on raw coins where people didn't like the coin in hand. These dealers tend to list the coins cheaper, and as long as its graded by the top two companies i have had no problems and scored some good deals. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Have any good tips & tricks that are not widely known that you can share?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
