<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 107828, member: 4552&quot;]I believe most people forget that many individuals that use EBAY have no other source for items they wish to buy. In many locations there are few, if any, coin dealers. In some areas of our coutry and other countries there are people that have to travel 30, 40 or more miles just for croceries. My wife came from a place in Wisconsin where the nearest town with a traffic light was 30 miles away. Thererfore they have nothing to compare in person about coins conditions or prices. As for me I think EBAY is distroying the value line of coins. In my area ther are coin shows about 3 times a month within 10 to 12 miles. There are numerous coins dealers in stores or flea market invironments. Where I used to be able to get a coin for a decent price by hagling, the dealers nowadays just say pay what I ask or I&#039;ll just sell it on EBAY for even more. As an example I wanted to buy a Lincolh Cent, 1955DD, at a coin show for $800 about a year ago. The same dealer raised the price to $1400 at the next show and when I asked him why he said that&#039;s what I saw it on EBAY for so that&#039;s what I&#039;m now asking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
