<p>[QUOTE="vincent2920, post: 146789, member: 5138"]I guess I'll throw my 2 cents into this discussuion. I have never bought coins through Teletrade but I often will check their past auctions to compare the final prices with the prices on Ebay. If you want to find the " bargains" then Ebay is without a doubt the place to go. Sure , you have to be careful with the sellers and the "sometimes" high shipping etc. , but I've never had any problems. I've been buying on Ebay for 2+ years. I think Teletrade is 100% in their service and I don't believe there would ever be any problems. I just think there are too many folks bidding on Teletrade to get any real deals , maybe once in a blue moon , but that's about it. On the other hand if you use patience , know what to look for and check out the sellers you can come up with some real steals / deals on Ebay. If I were to ever sell I would take a hard look at Teletrade since they do most of the work for a fee instead of myself doing all the work on Ebay , but I hope that's down the road a ways. Hope this helps. If you would like I can list a few coins I picked up through Ebay just as examples. I'm not the big spender either. Most of my puchases are $75 or less.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
