[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1110596, member: 112"]Are you sure about that ? I mean I know what you are saying - you've always received your coins and you liked the coins. But what often happens with ebay buyers is that they get a problem coin, and they don't even know that it is a problem coin. And they never find that out until they go to sell the coin. Of course the very same thing happens when you buy from some dealers. But there are many good, quality dealers out there that you can buy from in other towns, other countries even since you live in Canada. Like I said, you don't need to see the dealer in person. You don't see the ebay coins in person either. The advantage of dealing with a good quality dealer is that the good quality dealer is not going to sell you a problem coin. At least not unless he tells you that it is a problem coin before you buy it. Not many folks on ebay do that. Most sellers on ebay can't even tell if it's a problem coin or it isn't. Of course there are sonme good quality dealers on ebay. But like I said, if you buy from them on ebay - you will pay more than if you buy from them directly. Almost any coin there is, you can buy it for less directly from the dealer than you can on ebay. Just because a coin is on ebay does not mean it is a bargain ![/QUOTE]
