<p>[QUOTE="Curtis, post: 8464944, member: 26430"]I agree, though over time I've become more skeptical of the high-volume budget auctions on biddr. I've bought tons of Greek AR fractionals there, but have started to feel generally concerned about those. For most of the RPC and RIC I feel better, though i can easily pick out lots of tooled Greek/RPC AE in many auctions, so I wonder about the ones I don't recognize. There are also several that cut- and- paste their descriptions so completely and with so little editing that they leave in the provenances from the originals. (ACSearch listings now include those false provenances and erroneous descriptions for this reason. Occasionally I'll make note in the comments, but there are just too many.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I could be wrong, but I have the impression most of the dealers on VCoins & MA-Shops are giving a closer look/spending more time with the coins. Unfortunately I feel some sellers on biddr are barely a step above typical ebay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
