[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 2699880, member: 76863"]They are a very real two way market place that the majority of collectors, especially younger collectors use. You can't just ignore real world sales that consistently occur because you don't like the venue. We all have our complaints about their policies but they absolutely are a legitimate market place and anyone not using them at this point is only limiting their selection. eBay sells thousands of coins a day if not 10s of thousands. Heritage gets the super collections like the Pogues which keeps them in the lead for total value, but in terms of volume eBay is the winner. Many dealers use eBay to source inventory for local sales. They certainly won't be selling those to their customers at cost. Like anything else, some things are cheaper in a local shop some are cheaper on eBay. A lot of any price difference can be accounted for by the fact that free shipping isn't fee. CAC does not charge collectors for coins that do not sticker.
