<p>[QUOTE="fretboard, post: 658826, member: 19765"]Yes I consider almost all my buys on ebay good otherwise I wouldn't keep going back. It's fair for me to say that the most I ever spent on a coin was $259 for a gold Liberty and I very seldom spend more than $100 dollars. There has been a couple of buys that weren't that good and a couple more which were my fault for not sticking to my high bid in the first place. </p><p><br /></p><p>The two that were the sellers fault were these. One was for a token and I got my money back and the other was a coin that was cleaned. Alot of cleaned coins you can tell right off even from a pic but some of them you need to hold in your hand. Especially true when bidding on an older foreign coin. I got a cleaned peso but I decided to keep it. I wrote in the small comments that the coin was cleaned. This may happen alot I would think. If you choose to go on ebay you just need to be very careful and never, never buy on impulse. If you do your homework on the coin, and you name your price as high as you will go, then stay there and don't go up that should increase your results. If you get anything that is different from what was said then its up to you what you do about it. as always, start out small and work your way up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh my first choice would always be to buy in person and not even go on ebay, but that's just not always possible. good luck if you roam on the bay[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
