[QUOTE="KommisMar, post: 135322, member: 5692"]It seems to me that estate sales could be a potentially excellent way to find coins, perhaps whole collections, at reasonable prices. For those of you who have gone this route to purchase coins, could you share your experiences? I'm curious as to whether I could expect to find good deals, or overpriced garbage (I expect more of the latter, with enough possibility of the former to make the hunt worthwhile...), whether you have to be "connected" to find out about them, whether someone on an ordinary budget can find anything he can afford, or whether you'll be more likely to be up against large dealers with more capital than you could dream of playing with, etc. Tell me your stories. :) It strikes me that I live in an area (South Florida) where there must be a lot of estate sales, and yet I never hear about them. Do you just have to scour the newspapers for announcements?[/QUOTE]
