<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 2825809, member: 82549"]Thanks, Alegandron. One more thought about eBay: Bid on auctions (but keep your bids under $15, and consider the shipping costs in your bid). This way, you'll begin to learn the value of different coins, because eBay will let you know the final selling price of anything you bid on. </p><p><br /></p><p>Keep in mind when you bid that most of the bidding takes place within the last hour of the auction, so eBay may show you as having the highest bid for most of the time, and you might think that you are going to win that dupondius of Nero for $12.50, but then you get an email from eBay informing you that the final selling price was $65. That's valuable information for a beginner, and over time you'll develop a sense of what different coins sell for in different conditions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
