<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 8659097, member: 104064"]I assume a raw ebay coin is details and will bid/buy accordingly, if I don't see an obvious problem. I don't worry about resale value because I'm not a flipper, but figure if it's good enough for me, it'll be good enough for somebody else down the road. I also don't buy into the "if it's raw, it's been submitted and rejected" stuff. Early on I fell into the sniping trap a couple times, but now I just bid what I'm willing to pay and forget about it. If I get an outbid notice, I might reevaluate, but I'm not on there thinking I'm going to steal something with a lowball bid and then fight over it at the last second with everybody else doing that. You're just asking to get screwed by shill bids. That said, I rarely buy there anymore. There's very few true auctions for the coins I'm interested in, and the buy it now prices are stupid high. Occasionally a make offer satisfies both me and seller, but rarely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
