<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1999376, member: 112&quot;]Vic, there are still good deals on ebay. I&#039;ve never disputed that. BUt for every good deal you can find, there are a hundred, maybe a thousand, that are not even close to a good deal. In fact the majority of them are downright ripoffs. And most people who buy there don&#039;t have a clue about what they&#039;re doing and they overpay far, far, more often than not. That is the problem with ebay.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that&#039;s what other people are talking about. Think about it for a minute Vic, do you consider the coins you buy the average fare found on ebay ? Be honest, I&#039;m betting you&#039;ll have to say no. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now another question, these coins you buy on ebay, who exactly is it that you are buying them from ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Now this is the coin you bought and posted about - <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1881-1C-PCGS-PR65RD-Proof-Indian-Cent-Rare-Colorful-Proof-/281456203537?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%257CR40%257CR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D281456203537%26_rdc%3D1&amp;nma=true&amp;si=jGwoutWbDMjNlqrFzU6OP0zDM3s%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1881-1C-PCGS-PR65RD-Proof-Indian-Cent-Rare-Colorful-Proof-/281456203537?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%257CR40%257CR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D281456203537%26_rdc%3D1&amp;nma=true&amp;si=jGwoutWbDMjNlqrFzU6OP0zDM3s%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/1881-1C-PCGS-PR65RD-Proof-Indian-Cent-Rare-Colorful-Proof-/281456203537?ru=http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40%7CR40%7CR40&amp;_sacat=0&amp;_nkw=281456203537&amp;_rdc=1&amp;nma=true&amp;si=jGwoutWbDMjNlqrFzU6OP0zDM3s%3D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It was offered at $1200, you countered, and he accepted your offer. Not that it matters but that is what happened. But who is that guy ? I&#039;d bet ya $100 he&#039;s a coin dealer. Just looking at what he has for sale pretty much indicates that - <a href="http://www.ebay.com/usr/hcrv22?_trksid=p2047675.l2559" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/usr/hcrv22?_trksid=p2047675.l2559" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/usr/hcrv22?_trksid=p2047675.l2559</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And if that doesn&#039;t, looking at his feedback certainly does - <a href="http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&amp;userid=hcrv22&amp;&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2560&amp;rt=nc&amp;iid=281456203537&amp;sspagename=VIP:feedback&amp;ftab=FeedbackAsSeller" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&amp;userid=hcrv22&amp;&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2560&amp;rt=nc&amp;iid=281456203537&amp;sspagename=VIP:feedback&amp;ftab=FeedbackAsSeller" rel="nofollow">http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&amp;userid=hcrv22&amp;&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2560&amp;rt=nc&amp;iid=281456203537&amp;sspagename=VIP:feedback&amp;ftab=FeedbackAsSeller</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Not that it matters, because it apparently doesn&#039;t, but isn&#039;t the point of this thread that you can find better deals on ebay than you can from a coin dealer ? Or is it just from coin dealers at shows ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
