<p>[QUOTE="talkcoin, post: 1690836, member: 38842"]IMO, all though good for other tangible items, I stay away from Craigslist when dealing in numismatic coinage and/or bullion. I've found many good deals on their site, but never a coin worth over melt and if I'm going to deal in the street; I have other sources. It just seems too easy for any goon who shy's away from the juice (tax, commission, dealers' cut, eBay fee, JUICE) in order to make a sale is a goon indeed. For bullion, worry about the spot-price and when it looks good to you, any reputable B&M joint will do fine at little cost added. Yeah, you might have to wait a couple weeks to get your goods, but you don't have to risk getting shot on the spot. From what I have gathered, all though as stated, Craigslist is good for things sometimes; it ultimately is the same as cash on cash dealings in the street. I heard PCGS's David Hall say to "stay away from Craigslist," at the last LB Show, and I feel he is correct. Whenever someone sells something and doesn't need to be held accountable following the sale; that person should be avoided. </p><p><br /></p><p>Good Luck to you and whatever you decide, just be safe <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
