<p>[QUOTE="Phil Ham, post: 676736, member: 5787"]I've been buying coins off ebay for the past 8 years. I was able to get much better deals from 2002-2005 than the last four years. It is true that ebay has problems with sellers overstating the grade, selling fakes, etc. There are also a lot of buyers that often push up the price of coins beyond their book value. I always try to know the coin that I'm buying and be patient. I've taken a couple of years of bidding on different auctions to buy certain coins in my collection. On the good side of ebay, it is a great reference for getting an idea on the market value of your coins. Also, it is a great place to find coins that aren't always easily found at coin shows or coin shops. If the pictures are good (and I don't usually bid on coins without good pics), you have a few days to analyze the coin before the end of the auction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
