<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 7827, member: 487&quot;]Hey stujoe.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I appreciate all of the input here. I am going to spend a little time learning about Ebay. I have never bought nor sold on that site, and probably never will. As I am often asked about it, I thought it would be nice to give informed answers. </p><p><br /></p><p>From a little looking around this morning, I see many certified coins from services we all stay away from. Some that appear to have serious cleanings, and two that I am pretty sure are fakes. I have seen many sellers who claim not to be dealers, yet all they do is sell coins. Now I know having coins for sale doesn&#039;t make you a dealer. I have seen many overpriced coins this morning. So far, I have not come across a single coin that is selling at bid or less. I did run across a handful of larger dealers that I have shared bourse space with over the years. So maybe I should spend some time directing my questions to them. It appeared that these larger dealers were selling stuff that they would not normally take to a show or sell at their shops. A little lower end than their normal inventory. </p><p><br /></p><p>So let me ask you all this....</p><p><br /></p><p>What is the averages for new collectors being ripped off?</p><p>I don&#039;t mean paying a little too much, because the seller doesn&#039;t control that. I mean over graded, bad slabbing company, harshly cleaned, fakes. These things the seller does control.</p><p>So what are the odds?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
