[QUOTE="tradernick, post: 12425, member: 648"]I want to add to something that ND said. "Most people flock to the auction services because they are instilled with the belief that "deals" are out there. Sellers also flock to the auction services because "High prices" are out there." It should also be said that many collectors live in rural areas where there are very few (or zero) coin shops and shows. Ebay and the 'net in general help to provide items that may not be available in your town. Even if you're town has 10 coin dealers, if none of them have that 16-d mercury dime in pcgs g4 that you're looking for, you may be able to find it on ebay. Of course you should ALWAYS invest some time in learning about the seller. Sellers who own stores look at ebay as a way of getting their material in front of xx million of buyers, rather than gathering dust in the shop if the regular local customers dont' want it. Just another persons perspective :) Nick[/QUOTE]
