<p>[QUOTE="longarm, post: 2719391, member: 76717"]That way of thinking actually benefits people like me who do buy from folks on craigslist. In fact, the last deal I made with a guy for a bunch of <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1878-s-morgan.295078/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1878-s-morgan.295078/">Morgans</a> off craigslist said that I was the only one out of all that contacted him that actually showed up to do a deal. Gee, I wonder why? Let me offer a few tips to the newbies out there, when you first contact someone ask for detailed pictures, if they're unable or unwilling then blow them off. If their pics are good and you're fairly certain they're not trying to peddle fakes then set a meeting at your bank. The Chase bank right up the road has a sitting area with a coffee table and chairs where you can inspect whatever you need and be sure to bring everything you might need with you. I carry a earth magnet, a loupe and even sometimes my usb microscope. If after examining the coins you're absolutely certain they're real then you negotiate the deal and don't be afraid to be aggressive to get the best price, because some folks fold easy and accept losses (developing good negotiation skills takes time and effort) then go to the teller and withdraw the cash and pay.
