<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 1989445, member: 37839&quot;]You are completely WRONG, as a neophyte, and are using ipso-facto logic to justify your position.&nbsp; In general, coins are much more expensive on Ebay--fact of life, for anybody who has purchased them for years and years.&nbsp; Not to say there aren&#039;t bargains, but given your obvious bias for looking at various sources, go right ahead, and pay inflated prices to cover the dealer fees.&nbsp; Moreover, coins are sometimes misrepresented by inaccurate photos online, so it takes really good experience to purchase quality coins on Ebay--years of experience gleaned from study and trial and error by collecting &quot;in the trenches.&quot;&nbsp; Any fool can purchase an exclusive Ebay collection, and never see a single coin in advance of purchase, but that is no challenge.&nbsp;&nbsp; Discernment is one of the keys of experienced collection, and it sounds like you could care less about the ability to discern the quality of a coin in advance of purchase.&nbsp; A wee bit of arrogance is demonstrated on this thread. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>When I have sold coins on Ebay, and that is rare, the price has been significantly adjusted to cover my expenses--if one were to deal with me directly, the&#039;d get a much better price.&nbsp; I have had hundreds of transactions on Ebay, and know the game as well as anybody, so have fun with your theory of avoiding shows, dealers, and other face-to-face sources.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
