<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 107852, member: 3726"]I like Ebay - I make plenty of money for sellers and it doesn't cost me a cent. I lose plenty of auctions by bidding what I think a coin is worth. And if I really want it I do bid more - still lose but that is the breaks. Recently I did bid $100 over what a coin was worth (in my opinion) and still lost the auction. I like one of my local dealers - the other has to mark off his coins before they compete. The best part is I get to see the coin in hand. The problem being that both places usually only have common coins - at least what I am looking for. So I average 1/2 my coins from ebay and 1/2 from the dealers. I think the competition is good - plus I do not think the local dealers sell a whole lot on Ebay. Also I think Ebay has helped raise the value of a few of my sets - my 4 coin smithonian 6 months ago was only worth 850, now I was told 1150. Cool![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
