<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Heliodromus, post: 7883296, member: 120820&quot;]Overall for fakes I&#039;d say more like 1%, or less, but of course it depends on the seller. From some professional sellers (who also have presence on VCoins and/or MA Shops) it&#039;s the same as on those alternate venues - close to zero. For some other &quot;professional&quot; fake sellers it&#039;s very high!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure how you&#039;d define &quot;junk&quot; but there&#039;s certainly a pretty low signal-to-noise ratio if you are looking for higher end coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are two things that make eBay useful:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Because of the fakes, junk, and amount of time needed to sift through it all, many collectors stay away, so there are bargains to be had. From time to time you see nice quality rarities get bought and flipped at high end auction houses for many multiples of the price.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) For uber-rarities, you can&#039;t be fussy where you buy from. If a coin is only showing up for sale once in 10 years and it&#039;s on eBay, then you&#039;d better be on eBay to get it! This isn&#039;t theoretical - a number of my rarest coins have come from eBay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
