<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1204700, member: 24633&quot;]Don&#039;t believe a word the guy said! Reputable dealers don&#039;t buy junk like this. Scam artists and (no offense) suckers&nbsp; do! If you see a lot of the same names winning the auctions, they are probably using shills to encourage suckers to bid higher, and the shills don&#039;t really buy the junk. You&#039;ll probably see some of the same stuff relisted a month later.</p><p><br /></p><p>Until you learn more about grading, problem, doctored &amp; counterfeit coins and doctored photos, don&#039;t buy any slabbed coins unless they are certified by NGC or PCGS. I don&#039;t even recommend that you consider slabs certified by ANACS, ICG or SEGS until you learn more about the hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>You also mentioned that you have placed $5 bids on a lot of Proof Sets (?) and you hope that you win them. Whatever you do, don&#039;t get the urge to increase any of your bids if someone outbids you. It will probably be the shill at work. Forget about them if you&#039;re outbid. There are plenty of reputable dealers on eBay where you can get sets like these for decent prices, but when you &quot;buy for cheap, you usually get cheap&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>One last point! ANY TIME you find an eBay dealer who sells &quot;third-world&quot; slabs or has offers &quot;too good to be true&quot;, you should avoid them completely even if they may seem to have some legitimate listings. They can&#039;t be trusted.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
