<p>[QUOTE="10gary22, post: 1024522, member: 23626"]You know, eBay may not be the best place for dealers and hard core numismatists to conduct business. But for the more casual collector like myself, it allows me to sell some duplicate items and get money to buy other things I may want or just want to look at. I mean, if I sell some junk Silver like 52 Roosie to a Y/N or someone who wants to fill a hole, then buy some "unsearched Wheaties" where else am I going to go ? eBay creates a great trading house for people like myself, roll searchers and beginners. Although it might not be the best venue for high grade coins and rarities, it definitely serves a great number of collectors. And, honestly, the fees are very reasonable for the amount of viewing you get for your stuff coupled with the huge number of items you can shop. </p><p> </p><p>I pay a commission to my grocery store that I believe is way more than 9% for the priviledge of buying food. 10-12% seems very low for something that is fun.
