<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinGal07, post: 677353, member: 8843&quot;]How about this thought?&nbsp; Maybe the reason buyers are bidding higher on Ebay is they are rationalizing the buying &#039;there&#039; instead of driving to a show?&nbsp; </p><p>I always try to get my coins from local dealers but even then that relies on what comes in their stores.</p><p>I rarely ever bid a coin on Ebay and if I do I place my max bid including shipping at CDN prices; if the bid exceeds that, then, well, I don&#039;t need the coin.&nbsp; </p><p>However, I always followed this philosophy in the past because I had the time and ability to go to at least 20-24 coin shows a year.&nbsp; </p><p>The past year my situation changed so without the ability to go to shows as often, I have wondered about pursuing a coin or two on Ebay knowing full well it may cost me more than it would at a show but I&#039;m saving the travel expense.</p><p>I don&#039;t have that much Ebay experience but I wonder if the buyers are exceeding reasonable bidding limits because they rationalize that extra few dollars for one or two coins is more economical than a tank of gas to drive to a show? </p><p>Just a thought.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
