Message:: [QUOTE="DANIEL HENRIQUEZ, post: 7872475, member: 76821"]I have read the arguments above for and against Ebay yet, many seem to forget that Ebay is NOT a retail selling platform, on the contrary, it was, is and will always be a "discount" platform. No one ever goes shopping on Ebay with intent of paying retail meaning, the sellers shouldn't be expecting this either. That said, the abusive nature of some sellers where they don't answer questions or Block people when they do ask has driven the base clientele away and although they have been replaced by others, they are not the same. In regards to coins as this forum is devoted, this is a more specific and worse area of expertise where the masses either buy or don't and pay market price for trends or over rated comments then, realize the loss later. Personally, I do not pay more than 65% of value for a coin regardless of what others bid or believe as I require equity in my investment, bar none. This is evident as many coin sellers are buying on Ebay and reselling (or attempting to resell) back to the same clientele above they buying price and in some cases double or triple and wonder why they keep relisting. so, for those seeking a better platform for buying or selling coins, there are some but, they cost money, take profits and require high end coins not typically found on Ebay. There are deals on Ebay and in some cases retail market purchases so, good luck with whichever side you are on.[/QUOTE]
