Message:: [QUOTE="lakebreeze, post: 81862, member: 2720"]I've only had dealings with 3 dealers in fifty years. The first one was a crook who they are probably still looking for, after he took in a partner and then ran off with all the holdings to a foreign country. The second was with a big name outfit in Calif., they were fine, and my third is with a small town dealer here in Wi. The only problem with him is he loves to talk and I have a hard time exiting the place, he is honest and a likeable guy and once some kids came in with some very expensive jewelery and coins they wanted to sell, well he proved his stature to me when I saw him go to the back room and call the cops, rather than make a pile off these kids. I've been collecting for 50 yrs. and still do a lot of buying, but now I am also selling, I began selling on ebay this week. I think that some dealers might be hurting as a lot of coins go out the door there. Some dealers I suspect make most of there money taking in jewelery and coins for metal content. I still buy on Ebay and have been very satisfied there. If your looking for coins some members here have them for sale and I would check out Ebay, you can get a feel for who you are buying from by reading thier feedback.[/QUOTE]
