<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 2502043, member: 32619&quot;]Managing expectations is important in this hobby. Realize you may never own the finest Lincoln cent or get that token from Panama that someone swiped from you at the last minute with a hydrogen bomb to your atom bomb bid...</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, if you want a seller to work with you you&#039;re going to have to establish a relationship. On eBay this can be hard but not impossible. There was one seller who always dumped a bunch of rare Air Force trade tokens at once and I could never compete on multiple high bids. One day I messaged him and just asked how he was doing this. Well we started talking and I found out he was a retiring Air Force trade token collector and he was trying to sell off his collection. He offered it to me, to buy at me leisure because he would rather sell to a dedicated collector than dealers. It worked out well for me, I&#039;m sorry I didn&#039;t ask sooner because I missed out on a lot of very rare tokens. Who knows when they&#039;ll come to market! So, if there&#039;s a shop in your area, or coin shows, or someone on the forum who deals - start talking and doing business with them and get a relationship going where you both trust another.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
