<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2760683, member: 1892&quot;]I abandoned Proxibid years ago for the same reasons you don&#039;t like Ebay, and a majority of my purchasing happens on Ebay these days. The key lies in learning how to evaluate what you&#039;re seeing. Whether intentional or not, most images of coins online have &quot;spin&quot; attached - they present the coin in imperfect fashion and it&#039;s up to the buyer to figure out what they&#039;re getting based on the limited information they&#039;re getting.</p><p><br /></p><p>This isn&#039;t a skill you&#039;re going to develop overnight, and until you hone it you&#039;re going to be regularly disappointed by <i>anything</i> you purchase without holding it in your hands first. It would be stupid of me to tell you not to buy online at all, but if you&#039;re going to be making online purchases it&#039;s <b>imperative</b> to develop that second set of skills. There&#039;s a difference between evaluating coins, and evaluating coins from online images. Sometimes the methods disagree with each other.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
