<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 745991, member: 3726"]No my experiences do not match up with yours. You can get good deals at both sites if you show patience. The difference is the client base is more experienced on Heritage. So they know the better coins. Now the difference between heritage and ebay is that heritage has auctions where the coins are graded in slabs with the issues. Which makes it easier. Now on Ebay the sellers crack them out of the problems slabs and say something like "you grade them". So since most people do not know what they are doing they overpay for them.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I don't think you mean mis-priced, but maybe priced lower or an auction you win at a lower rate. Mis-priced to me means you are looking for someone to make a mistake like a typo. That I would not do on purpose. But Cherrypicking or varieties are fair game. I would love to find an R-6, R-7 or R-8 coin in an auction to win. Those are out there, but they take a lot of work to find. Not only can you do that on ebay, but dealers also - since they do not attribute everything.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
