I do also agree Ebay is getting pricey, (especially BIN's), but OTOH just bought two groups there, each eight silver coins, at what I consider an excellent price, (one has a bashlik Parthian). True auctions, and bargains, still happen there. Its so bad I never even look at BIN offers on Ebay anymore, and limit myself to my predefined searches.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ancients CAN be cheap, it just takes knowledge and work. I would say to not pay more than $15 or $20 for any coin until you have 6 months or more collecting ancients under you belt.
