<p>[QUOTE="Phil Ham, post: 558469, member: 5787"]It use to be a lot easier to cherry pick on ebay. I was able to get some pretty good ones in the early days (2001-2004). It has gotten a lot harder these days. Everyone seems to know many of the tricks. I use to be able to search for error names of coins and get coins because of the spelling error of the seller (eg. nickle instead of nickel). As the buyers became smarter, it became timing that was more important. I would last minute bid at odd hours on weekdays. Later, the skypers would out do me on that one. ebay now promotes the skyping function. I'm now looking for error coins or coins that seem to be getting little attention but I kind of like. I will sometimes take a leap on a grouping of coins if the moment seems right. My experience on ebay has been pretty good. I've had worse luck lately at coin auctions. It is hard to remember every coin at an auction and bid correctly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
