[QUOTE="EyeEatWheaties, post: 1077461, member: 26972"]I think it is the other way around. I think you are looking at it from a sellers perspective. In this discussion there has to be a control. I don't know if TT sells raw coins so lets only compare TPG coins. TT does not have seller performance standards that have to be adhered to. - no feedback TT images of coins are crappy - IMO another indicator that is eyebrow raising TT buries extra fees in fine print - IMO that alone is an unscrupulous indicator TT charges a minimum mark to the buyer up of $8 per lot and then adds shipping on top of that thats outrageous comparatively.

It didn't take long when learning FORTRAN AND COBOL to find out that computer created jobs. I trust the seller I can talk to about the coin they are selling not some third party with crappy pictures and hidden fees. SOunds like I am talking about eBay, doesn't it? The statistics don't lie. on the average a collector will do better buying certified examples on eBay than anywhere else.
