[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 2073217, member: 73489"]Excellent point....the ease of Ebay -- and the Internet -- in making information available to the masses and facilitating the sales/purchases of coins and exchange of information can NOT be underestimated. I shudder to think about the state of coin collecting were it not for the Internet, Ebay, etc. I still get upset at people who scam on Ebay -- there are lots of frauds selling coins -- and Ebay won't do anything about them because they do too much business. Ditto for the TV shows that sell coins at 100-300% retail markups. I'll never understand how some people will research for weeks OR MONTHS a microwave oven, an HDTV, or some furniture that costs a few hundred dollars...but then buy something like coins costing thousands of dollars without doing any research whatsoever. I saw the same stuff in the investment world, too.[/QUOTE]
