<p>[QUOTE="Vegas Vic, post: 1863860, member: 58810"]Don't hate eBay. The best purchases I have ever made were on ebay. You can't just buy any coin and get an ok deal. Over 95% are way overpriced. But there are usually 120,000 pcgs and ngc lots at any one time. Statistically speaking there must exist good deals. You can adjust your eBay filter to manage the possibilities. I also set filters for toned coins. All together eBay can be a good place to lurk for deals. As for shows I love going to flip my latest round of purchases and will take the day off work. Ironically I would have made more money just going to work but I like to stop and smell the roses sometimes. And for the last few years I've had pretty good results. Not making bank but it really is fun. Just because dealers mark their coins up doesn't mean there is no fun to be had. Just be creative. How can you not have fun in a room filled with thousands of coins? I'll be at the palace station April 4th and have already arranged for someone to cover me for the day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
