<p>[QUOTE="MorganFred, post: 39865, member: 1779"]Ain't gonna happen. These new coin buyers are jumping out of the plane feet first with no idea how far down it is to the ground. By the time they realize that their 'chute isn't gonna open, it's too late and they splatter all over the pavement. Most newbies know very little about coins in general nor coin auctions, especially eBay, in particular and there is nobody out there to mentor them. Maybe only a very, very few even know that there are such things as coin forums and seek advice therein; these are the ones who strap on their 'chute before jumping and avoid landing in swamps. Unfortunately, there is no mechanism in place to guide new eBay coin buyers toward rational and knowledgeable choices and I couldn't even begin to speculate how such a mechanism might be implemented.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
