[QUOTE="jeankay, post: 353113, member: 12159"]Actually, ACW, I have 'met' and become acquainted with a few of the sellers on ebay. We have struck up a good rapport and I can count on them to be fair and honest in the quality of their wares.This may well be the exception. But if I contact someone who is a smart-aleck or doesn't answer my query about a certain coin or numismatic supply then they go on my 'forget them' list. I don't care if they would want to sell me a perfect 1909s VDB for three dollars, they won't get my three dollars. The main thing about all of it is having as pleasant of an attitude as you are able to muster up. Saying 'please' and 'thank you' and 'I understand', etc., can still go a long ways in most situations. Yep, I've gotten stung on ebay like any beginner, and will likely get stung again. But like most of us I am using these events as learning tools. Yet, the face to face and hand to hand experience of the coin show was much better than most I have encountered on ebay. jeankay[/QUOTE]
