<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 352308, member: 112&quot;]I am not saying that you should never buy anything from ebay. I am saying that you should only buy from <u>trusted and reputable sellers</u> on ebay. There are plenty of them there. </p><p><br /></p><p>The problem is, most people buy coins on ebay from sellers they have never even heard of let alone know and trust. And they do this often based on the positive feedback rating. </p><p><br /></p><p>And you don&#039;t always need to use ebay either. There are lots of very good, trusted, respectable dealers out there that never even use ebay. They conduct their business at coin shows, at their shops, and by mail. <u>These</u> are the dealers you need to do business with ! </p><p><br /></p><p>Instead of spending countless hours searching for coins on ebay, what you should be doing is spending those same hours searching for trusted and reputable dealers. And once you find them - <u><b>then do business only with them.</b></u></p><p><br /></p><p>And how do you find them ? By asking others who you know and respect. By attending coins shows and looking at the coins certain dealers are offering; and when you find a good dealer by getting his contact information and staying in touch with him. And by setting up want lists with these dealers that you trust. You can establish relationships with dealers all over the country, the world, by using these methods. And never again will you have to say - but I can&#039;t find the coins I want anywhere but ebay. I say horsepuckey - you can find them. But it requires a little work and effort. </p><p><br /></p><p>While ebay may be easier and satisfy the instant gratification syndrome that so many seem to demand in today&#039;s world - it is seldom your best choice for finding coins for your collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
