[QUOTE="mlov43, post: 1823021, member: 16729"]Agreed. [B]eBid[/B] and [B]Bidstart[/B] are good places for lower-grade coins. I've purchased common stuff from both, and they were both VERY good online stores, as far as getting what you bought and shipping costs. I've never seen LOTS at those auction sites, though. Something to check out. The biggest advantage of ebay: Lots of people will see your coins. I've sold on Ebay before, and the fees get to you. ...and then there's the scumbag buyers who engage in refund fraud (ie, they ask for a return, send you a lower-grade piece of crud than the one you actually sold them, oh, and ebay tells you to give them the refund!). Chances are, you probably won't meet up with those kind of buyers on your first try at ebay. Any buying or selling online is somewhat of a gamble. If you're selling lots, ebay does work. I've done it before... Bubble mailers work well, but I taped and sandwiched the 2X2s to two heavy pieces of cardstock and shoved 'em in the mailer. Worked everytime.[/QUOTE]
