Message:: [QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2748700, member: 71723"]I don't want to mislead ANYBODY here about how I use GSC's listings, and it MAY be material to my experience with them. I don't right now recall what my first purchase was with them, but when I get home from this road trip, I will check. From that purchase onward, I get their seemingly daily (lately) email with what they consider the most interesting pieces they have closing that night. I scan it quickly to see if there are any coins from series I'm working on. Most days there are none and it ends there. When I do see a coin that might interest me, I check my budget first to see if I might be able to play. Sometimes not s'much. Sometimes, let's roll. Sometimes, I see a coin in the right series, but I might have a different date at the top of my want list. Since they tend to run material of a given type a lot, that's not a stretch. If that is the case, I have a stock "search" on eBay set to them as a seller. I set the sort for "closing soonest" and thumb through them closing THAT NIGHT; I think it's a "slide right". I have never even paid attention to any title line. I'm quickly flipping through images hoping one of them might pique my interest. It's like an 8-year-old flipping through a friend's baseball cards. "Got it, got it, got it, don't want it, got it," etc. Most days I do this, there's nothing I want. Some days there is. I examine each photo like a ninja, zooming in, moving it around. I come up with my best price I'll pay, type it in, and never look at the auction again. Sometimes, the next morning on the train, there's an email. Most times, there's not.[/QUOTE]
