<p>[QUOTE="jallengomez, post: 715001, member: 19748"]Great thread! I agree with almost everything except #4. I've gotten some of my best deals on items with no photos. These are definitely <i>caveat emptor </i>auctions and I would never buy a high-dollar coin in this manner, but I've found that a lot of the true "got these from my grandfather" end up being sold like this. The seller has no clue and figures why bother posting a photo of a few rolls of wheat pennies, or an old roll of nickels. I've found that if their selling history looks like a random online yard-sale then I can make away with some great prices for items precisely because most people aren't even giving them a second look because there is no photo. I've gotten items this way for less than half of what they typically sell for even if they do end up being a bunch of commons.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
