<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coleguy, post: 286907, member: 9167&quot;]Unfortunately, due to a lack of coin shops in my area, I have to use Ebay a lot to satisfy my need for coins. I&#039;m lucky that I have been succesful in not getting ripped-off. My tips:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>*&nbsp;&nbsp; Look at the feedback. Once a bad seller...always a bad seller.</p><p>*&nbsp;&nbsp; Pictures. If a seller is serious about selling a nice coin, they should have the pics to back their descriptions. Never buy a bad pic, or a pic of just one side of a coin.</p><p>*&nbsp;&nbsp; Stay clear of Chinese sellers selling coins. Sorry if theres any Chinese sellers here, but the majority on Ebay are selling cheap fakes marked as real.</p><p>*&nbsp;&nbsp; Ignore slabbed coin prices and grades. I&#039;m not saying don&#039;t buy slabbed coins. I&#039;m saying, don&#039;t buy into the hyped-up price. Grade it yourself first. Slabbers are wrong more than they&#039;re right about a grade.</p><p>*&nbsp; &nbsp; My last and most important stategy....bid only as high as you think the coin is worth, and what you&#039;re willing to pay for it anywhere else. I see too many people get caught up in bidding frenzies and end up paying way more than they could have bought the coin some place else. Use restraint!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>These tips work for me. But, every collector is different.</p><p>Guy~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
