<p>[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 2852284, member: 76863"]I disagree there. They're a lot more knowledgeable in coins than forums like to give them credit for. It isn't any different than anywhere else, a percentage are clueless but the same goes for a LCS buyers or show buyer ect. Even a lot of the "bad" purchases you can find a percentage of those are by knowledgeable buyers who let greed cloud their judgement hoping to hit it big. Not to mention a lot of "bad" buys are really called that because people don't think a market for such things should exist. </p><p><br /></p><p>We definitely have a big separation at the moment between the classic collector who grew up going to shows and the new age internet only type collector where as been pointed out in other threads you can find a rather large following on social media and have turned things like YouTube and Instagram into their version of coin forums. They're a sizeable percentage of the eBay buyer base and they aren't clueless. I really don't blame them for avoiding coin forums given how negative people can be about how and what they buy especially towards moderns[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
