<p>[QUOTE="Victor_Clark, post: 26230231, member: 10613"]Maybe because it's actually a good deal...maybe it's a rare type that infrequently shows up...maybe you collect specific things and have to buy when they are available. If you are a generalist and not looking for specific things; then sure, only buy from auctions-- of course in many high end auctions you can easily overpay for something that a dealer may have priced at a more reasonable price. If you are an advanced collector, you will buy from wherever the coins are that fit your collecting focus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
