I took your remarks to mean that you were saying <i>all</i> ebay sellers were guilty of these practices. Perhaps you really believe most are. I do not.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Of course there are way too many crooks on ebay. Some of the big powersellers virtually steal 5 figure incomes from the great masses of the uninformed/new collector. Feedback <i>can</i> play a big role in avoiding these guys. If you are a crook, a pattern <i>will</i> emerge in your feedback. To those here that are new to, or wary of ebay, you can use this to check on your potential sellers:&nbsp; <a href="http://toolhaus.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://toolhaus.org/" rel="nofollow">http://toolhaus.org/</a>. Check feedback left, as well as received.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don`t get to go to the big national or regional shows. I know it is a tight club. I would find it hard to believe that <i>all</i> 300 of those <i>BIG DOGS</i> on the bourse floor have never been guilty of shady practices. Face to face is always best, but I will wager many here have horror stories regarding deals at shows and with their local dealers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ebay is the great equalizer. It allows the collector to realize something near retail prices. This was never possible before ebay. Joe Collector can now sell his 16-D Merc, or his CC Morgan dollar, and get nearly the same price as the <i>big dogs</i>. And the big dogs hate this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
