<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alhas, post: 278380, member: 6275&quot;]I have never bid on eBay before. Except for the American Silver Eagle Proof and Uncirculated coins purchased from the US Mint, I do not have any of our old coins. Today I saw Walking Liberty Half Dollars on eBay, and made a bid which instantly was outbid on item # 300151924835. Now I understand the reason for the &quot;instant outbid&quot;. My questions are as follows:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>- What would be a reasonable bid for this set?</p><p>- What should I be careful of (on this item)?</p><p>- What do you see, or do not see, which will raise a red flag in your mind, etc.</p><p>- Can I collect a similar set from a local dealer? I have never purchased any coins from coin dealers either. In other words, I am pretty naive when it comes to collecting coins...</p><p>- What other questions should I ask which I have not asked regarding bidding on eBay? I will read up on &quot;learning how to bid&quot; at eBay&#039;s site soon.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Is it appropriate to ask the above questions on this forum? I have been a member of CoinTalk for about a year now and have learned a lot just by visiting 10-15 minutes daily. If I am out of line, please redirect this query to an appropriate forum, or please advise as to who would be able to help.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
