<p>[QUOTE="10gary22, post: 1027370, member: 23626"]OK, I gotta go back to what I said earlier about it not being the right marketplace for everyone. I have sold some junk quarters and dimes to beginners and others as well as some proof coins, Not much, but some to get some activity in my collection. Every junk coin I sold was well received by the buyers ! Perhaps I auctioned them at a low price or whatever, but I got a better return than a local dealer would pay, if he were even considering buying them. I mean how many AU40 1952 S Roosies does a dealer want ? lol BUT, someone looking to fill a hole in the Dansco, it was a great deal ! There are thousands of collectors who fill books with junk coins, who would never get graded stuff.</p><p> </p><p>Where else can the more casual hobbyist go to conduct trade ? Not everyone wants to pay the dealer's mark up and not all of these are easily found in circulation. Personally, perhaps because I am not dependent on income from it, I think eBay is Fantastic ! I allows me to participate once again in the hobby where I could not before.</p><p> </p><p>Gary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
