<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1477096, member: 26302&quot;]I agree. I read the OP post as simply saying too many only buy on Ebay. I agree with that. Just like everything in life a smart shopper always price compares. </p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I still buy group lots if its a deal, rarely an unusual coin I see, and a few sellers have good deals and access to coins I cannot find anywhere else. Ebay is great to find unusual items or have access to deals from non-collectors. However, I am finding prices of normal coins from dealers and the like to be much more expensive than most other sources of mine. Heck, I went to Harlan Berk last week and bought coins for well under Ebay prices, and they were higher quality to boot. For any &quot;normal&quot; collecting, where dealers will have access to the material, I never buy on Ebay anymore, finding dealers and other auctions to be cheaper ways to collect.</p><p><br /></p><p>I simply believe, like the OP, way too many collectors are forgetting this nowadays, and believing by definition Ebay will be cheapest. That is a dangerous assumption. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
