[QUOTE="900fine, post: 585563, member: 6036"]One vital point to keep in mind : [B]E-Bay[/B] is a [B]technology company[/B]. They are [B]NOT [/B]an [B]auction house[/B]. E-bay is selling technology services and space on their servers - nothing more. They have no numismatic expertise, and make no claims in that area. Heritage, Stack's, Goldbergs... those are auction houses. I call up Heritage and I get a consummate professional. Class, knowledge, experience, top-notch customer service, and professionalism. They know coins in and out. They know their business, and they know it well. E-bay makes no such claim. It's comparing apples to oranges. Yes, E-bay has some responsibility. But it's never going to be like dealing with real coin peeps. Overall, I don't have a problem with e-bay (except final value fees seem a little high). I don't see some major downslide over the years.[/QUOTE]
