<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1699382, member: 26302"]Less and less I am seeing Ebay as a true market nowadays. Maybe a true market for people unwilling to find any other source, but for the quality the prices are just too high nowadays. I put tother about 45 bids a few days ago, and might win one or two. This is not sour apples, simply an observation. When a coin in lesser condition goes for $650 versus a better one from a reputable dealer going for 350, someone is not doing their homework. Heck, something as simple as a woodworking drawer slide i found online for $8, Ebay price? $35. Same manufacturer, same sku. For some reason, i think there is a large group of people who assume Ebay is the cheapest for everytthing. There was a time that was almost true, but not today.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still buy when i find price-quality to be n line, but its getting rarer and rarer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
