<p>[QUOTE="marid3, post: 1601259, member: 35968"]First, welcome. As I've started to consider how to sell the excess in my collection, and try to upgrade into some more valuable coins, I've asked myself the same thing. While I'm comfortable buying a lot of things from eBay - the reputable sellers - I've gotten burned on a couple of coins (they were cleaned<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). Buying relatively more expensive pieces has forced me to ask a similar question to the one you're posing. While I don't have a convient local coin shop and I like how convenient and competetive eBay can be from a price standpoint, for those coins I'm paying more for, I'll gladly take the time to travel to my nearest PNG dealer and place an order - pay him a reasonable fee for finding, acquiring and evaluating the coins for me. The travel time and distance alone doesn't make sense for the occasional album-filler I want, and would likely be annoying to him, but for the more expensive stuff, it sure makes sense. Then I can also look at the coin before actually taking posession.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
