planning to buy in ebay (2011-S)

Been eyeing and planning to own this beauty for months now. But it seems the price are way over my budget. Saw the prizes of PR70, set, etc.... I have to admit I can never afford them.
Now I found one that I think I can afford.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2011-S-Amer...746?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45fbe2889a

So simple yet unexplainably beautiful.


I have to post it here since i can't access the FAQ section. (Never bought a coin in ebay)
Now my question is, can I really trust this seller. Been reading negative stuff about e-bay sellers and I'm hoping someone here knows or have bought a coin with this seller.
Is $51 + $12.95 a good buy?
Thanks

What's the $12.95 for?

The listing says free shipping.

$51 isn't too bad price wise.

 

What's an acceptable limit for ASE's premium and slab premium? Silver closed at $27.27 on Friday.

 

It's for shipping

"Shipping:$12.95 US Postal Service Priority Mail International Small Flat Rate Box See more services See shipping discounts[TABLE="class: vi-is1-s9, width: 99%"]

Thanks

 

Sorry, 'still a newb and I'm not familiar about this term.

 

ASE = American Silver Eagle
Slab = Holder from the grading service

I understand that the coin is from the San Fransico mint, but does anyone know the exact numbers of mintage since there are no mint marks on either the S or W coins?

 

I see. Thanks. 'been checking the net. But no 2011 yet:

Here is one at Paradise with FREE shipping


http://www.paradisemint.com/2011-s-...cisco-Mint-PCGS-MS69-First-Strike_p_2281.html

 

Thanks!!!

 

The shipping is free in the listing.

Why would add any amount for expedited shipping on a 1 oz bullion you already paid $51 for?

I would take advantage of the free shipping.

PCGS lists the value at $47 so $51 is not bad, don't add shipping when it's free because by doing so, you'll completely overpay for this.

 

For those who don't know, Ozleck lives outside the United States. He would have to pay for international shipping.

 

Well here is trick you can use while bidding in ebay, on item you like (even if you don't have $$ to buy them) go in and make a low bid (or add them to watch list). Make sure ebay email notifications are enabled for outbids and items you didn't win. Make a email filter that tags all those emails and put them into specific folder because you will be getting emails with final sell price for those items. You now will have folder you can search thru for good min and max ebay prices for the items you want, advantage of this is ebay only has auction history available for view for 90 days where as i still have ebay emails' from 5 years ago..

 

Thanks for the help guys. I think I'll probably go for the coin in paradisemint. I'll just have to figure out first the procedures in buying online. Gonna check it out with my bro later.
