[QUOTE="hontonai, post: 659127, member: 4703"]Over the years I've bought many coins on eBay, at prices from <$1 to >$5,000. My very few bad experiences all involved transactions under $20. Of course I only buy from sellers with clear photos, decent return policies, no ridiculous hype, not on my personal "bad seller list", and Toolhaus records that may not be perfect, but are acceptable after careful analysis. I have lists of sellers I won't consider dealing with, and sellers I've had good experiences with, both of which I try to maintain as information comes my way. Probably my best deal overall is the one a few months ago, where I obtained a Meiji 6 (1873) bronze 2 sen in F/XF condition from Singapore to complete my 2 sen collection. I paid quite a bit under the Krause and JNDA catalog values, possibly in part due to other bidders' fear of the source. The pictures were excellent, and clear enough to carefully compare with coins in my collection already known to be genuine. Right now it's on its way back from NGC, with its genuineness confirmed.[/QUOTE]
