<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pog, post: 7835, member: 782&quot;]as a new collector i fell into the ebay craze of bidding on an auction. the first time i actually won an auction it was like a rush.&nbsp; i bid on a couple of proof eagles an 86 and 87 20 bux a shot. when i received the coins they were toned and i really didnt care for the eye appeal. next i got caught up in the wheatie pennys. buy a 1/2 pd for 8 bux. i thought this would be fun, not really a bad deal beacause i did have fun picking through them nothing but commom dates. i paid for enjoyment. then i started really looking at what people were paying for some of these coins and thought hey i could make money doing this myself. thats when i found this forum and started inquiring about doing business. thats when i really realized that it would not be fair to do this because i dont know enough to do this. my immediate thought was that i would actually be ripping people off because of this lack of knowledge. i think there is alot of people on ebay that do this and personally i do not agree with it. these are not the only items that i have bought from ebay sellers. i purchased some proof sets(that were cracked open) some proof rolls that i got a really good price on. mint sets that were picked apart. </p><p>my point is, i wish now that i didnt spend the money that i did because i could have gotten better coins from a reputable dealer. i thought i was getting these awesome deals because of my lack of knowledge. i will not spend anymore of my money on ebay.</p><p>&nbsp;i also think that their is dealers of integrity that do do business on ebay, but if you are a beginner and do not know what you are looking at, and basically know nothing about bid prices. stay away from ebay. it will take away some of the enjoyment that is to be had from this hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
