<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bullionbound, post: 914, member: 79&quot;]I was wondering where most people get their coins. I have seen so many times that you should buy the coin not the holder. However, my collecting is very part-time and I don&#039;t see myself going to a coin show anytime soon. I could, however, check out some of the local shops.</p><p><br /></p><p>My collection has exclusively been from ebay. I only bid on auctions that have a return policy and I have taken advantage of it several times. I also have found that it is real important to email the seller with very specific questions. About half of the people lie and the other half are sometimes surprisingly honest. The ones to watch out for are the ones that don&#039;t answer all of your questions. It has been obvious without exception that that ignored question was intentional. Looking at the feedback has the obvious advantages. But one thing that I have found, if they have bad feedback, you can sometimes get great values as the bidding is not too intense. As long as they have a return policy and the feedback is somewhat forgivable, I&#039;ll go for it. This is what I like best about ebay. There seems to be more value potential. Everything that I buy is considerably under value. I do not see this happening at a coin show or store. </p><p><br /></p><p>What have I been missing out on?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
