[QUOTE="Chuck47, post: 2145964, member: 72634"]Thanks for your input. I agree with your comments also. Most of the pictures leave a lot to be desire. I try to only bid on the graded coins and even with them, a sharper photo would be helpful. I think the estimated value listed is usually about twice of the real value for most lots. I am a suspicious person by nature, and I wonder where the opening bid really comes from. Is it a hidden reserve? If so, tell me and it will be ok. One particular item I was interested in opened above my high limit amount. The "floor" bidder opened and was the only bidder and won the lot. Six weeks later, I see the same lot, with identical picture offered again. Now I guess it could be an identical coin and using a stock picture which again is ok if you say that's the case. It just make me think about that opening bidder when it opened the first time around. I also think the prices of most lots seem to be rather high. Maybe I'm just cheap and hate to pay retail but I do pick up a coin every now and then at a good deal. The lots I have won are shipped out within 24 hours and arrive safely, and well packed. Thanks to all of you for your responses,[/QUOTE]
