[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 8397285, member: 4373"]I've seen quite a fair bit of changes and this year has been quite different now that interest rates are going up. Global logistics have been a real mess not just due to covid as well as the re-route avoiding Russia. Few things that I noted: 1) Some scarcer coins that I have been looking for are just popping up out of nowhere. These are coins that I have been looking for more than 5 years! Maybe some sellers think it's the right time to cash out and / or the interest rate is playing a role? 2) I was at a coin show recently and people were just throwing money like there's no tomorrow. That also relates to the previous point that I found some coins that are uncommon today. 3) Some sneaky buyers are abusing what they can. Had 3 claims on ebay this year alone that they did not receive the items. Global shipping can take more than a month and a couple are delusional that they should receive it within days. These are small items that are worth less than 10 dollars and not worth tracking. You bet I no longer ship to a few countries after this. Never had any claims for the last 3 - 5 years before the start of this year! Amazing 4) Buyers think it's ok to haggle after purchases. ebay taxes, expensive shipping prices, want a better deal, etc. All of this happening this year too. What other behaviors have you noticed?[/QUOTE]
