<p>[QUOTE="cmbdii, post: 3903, member: 655"]Hey, Will. My recommendation for ebay is to find another venue for buying. I've come to the conclusion that ebay is simply too full of thieves. I buy coins for resale and I don't like the phony "auction" setup. You're better off buying from online dealers who send out a monthy price list or who maintain an online catalog and send out a periodic flashlist.</p><p><br /></p><p> For me, buying coins is risky enough without having to trust amateur sellers who think that a few little dents or a small hole is no big deal in an "old coin". One of them told me that the undescribed damage to the coin I "won" in his auction was simply reasonable wear for a 100 year old coin.</p><p><br /></p><p> Ebay stinks, IMO. Why buy a coin at a time, taking days to even find out if you "won" it then wait while some seller finally gets around to mailing the coin and pay enough S&H to cover buying dozens of coins from a reputable dealer online?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
