<p>[QUOTE="Jim M, post: 490679, member: 4791"]Well, time to chime in here. I have been on ebay since Dec 1997 so I have seen the changes through the years. Yes, ebay does have some fault in whats going on in the coin industry. They are mentioned at EVERY coin show that I have ever attended at least once by somebody. If they were to pull the replica crap off the site that market would dry up and bew gone in a week. Is ebay buying a gamble? yes it sure is, so is buying at most shows if you think about it. How is the lighting at the shows you attend? Most dealers have $9.99 swing arm lamps that don't show alot of things on the coins. Gambling on ebay has netted me some cherrypicks through the years so I can't really complain about that portion, I have also been ripped off more than once out there as a seller and a buyer. It buyer beware out there. There are some honest dealers out there however after hearing some of the stuff here in CT I kinda question myself even on the honest sellers. Purchasing a Morgan for 10 bucks is not a gamble, buying an UNC Barber quarter from a picture is a gamble. </p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck gambling, keep in mind that you will loose more than you win in gambling.
