<p>[QUOTE="torontokuba, post: 1815337, member: 56793"]<b>ck1of2</b>, I can see your point. Ebay is and will continue to be a serious source for coins, for many of us here. The deals on US coins through other auction houses will always have cheaper trends because their popularity will never reach ebay status. Many US sellers on this website confirm, that being closed to international bidders and international shipping equals less interest and less profit. I've seen US coins sell on EU auctions for double over what I can get them for through my US connections or ebay. It comes down to location, location, location...</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't know, maybe <b>GDJMSP</b> has never purchased anything with a real passion for the hobby?

I'm sure it's easier to sit back, not collect any more and write rational explanation to explain situations like bidding, where a new collector, full of passion, youth, energy, etc. overpays for a coin he really wants. I wouldn't dare categorize such an individual as an idiot or uneducated, but, that's just me.:oops: Unfortunately, the more I read some opinions here, the more the words passionless and uninspired come to mind.:([/QUOTE]
