<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Art, post: 7832, member: 568&quot;]I have been using ebay for quite a while. Mostly for purchases. I did sell off part of my camera &quot;hoard&quot; using ebay and am very pleased with the results. I believe that I received far more for my equipment while the buyers still saved considerably over what they would have paid to dealers. I don&#039;t have the overhead that a professional dealer would have and so can be happy with a lower sale price.</p><p><br /></p><p>The same is true for coins. I believe that one of the major advantages of online auctions - ebay being the prime site -- is the widespread availability of material. My primary collection is ANA Convention Badges and Medals. Let me assure you that you don&#039;t find these sitting around at your local dealer&#039;s shop (if you have a local dealer). You also do not find them at the auctions at your local coin club. On ebay they run in spurts. Right now there&#039;s a huge offering by on person. Most weeks there&#039;ll be one or two items to consider.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have also been purchasing some ANACS Indian Head Cents for a date/grading set I&#039;m working on. A far greater choice of material is available via Ebay. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think that I have to be any more careful on Ebay than I have to be at my local coin show or even at the coin club auction. Know your material. Know your sources. Take risks when appropriate.</p><p><br /></p><p>I enjoy it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
