<p>[QUOTE="Roger Sosnowski, post: 2082075, member: 73139"]Here's a quick story about the benefits of knowing sellers on ebay. Last year I noticed one of my favorite sellers was selling a 1937 Washington proof(pr66). It was the last proof I needed to complete my collection. I was getting ready to bid when the site shut down. I emailed the seller to find out he had a major family crisis going on. Well it took 6 months but he emailed me back and said he was willing to sell the proof if I was still interested. He made a onetime entry on ebay with a specific amount for a best buy offer(not sure how you do that) I put in the offer and the deal went through. The coin is awesome and I'm glad I waited. I'm even more glad the seller followed up with me because I had not seen that particular proof at any coin show I had been at. Getting to know reliable sellers is a key. Also there's one other rule--if a coin seems way too cheap--it's probably has something wrong with it,lol. Any person that has an expensive genuine coin for sale is not going to give it away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
