[QUOTE="900fine, post: 839225, member: 6036"]I think e-bay is an enormous positive to the hobby, and possibly the single biggest positive influence in the last 15 years. I have no idea how many more collectors are around thanks to e-bay, but I bet it's tens of thousands. Maybe more. Maybe a LOT more. The vast majority of Americans and Canadians have little access to a really good coin store. For many who do, it's the "same ole same ole" thing; the inventory is stale. Even for those who live in LA, New York, or Toronto, hitting every store in town would be extremely time consuming and come well short of the variety of internet coin shopping. [B]E-Bay + Teletrade + Heritage = the most amazing selection of coins imaginable [/B]- literally everything from a roll of "unsearched" wheaties to 1804 Dollars. Where is the negative in that ?[/QUOTE]
