<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1692881, member: 19463"]Seriously, the best place to buy would be from each other but that would require you to trust each other and to want something that another of us would be willing to let go. I know that half a dozen of you have coins I'd like but I also know you won't sell them. There is nothing wrong with eBay IF you are comfortable trusting the seller or your own abilities to protect yourself from fakes and overpriced junk. Shows have fakes and overpriced junk as well. That is why we say to find someone you trust and buy coins that make you comfortable. If you don't feel comfortable either in person or on eBay, you may be better off paying extra for coins from a seller that charges too much. When someone here asks me if they should pay $300 for a coin I would only pay $200 for, the answer is often yes. If the coin were worth $300 to me, one of us here probably would have bought it last week.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
