<p>[QUOTE="cncman, post: 535245, member: 17256"]I think ebay is a great place to get some deals if you know what you are doing, if you don't know what you are doing you should avoid large purchases on ebay, Im sorry, but if you are buying rubbed V nickels for the silver content that's your fault. I like poorly written ads with bad pictures, usually it happens on some sets, I download the photos and try to see what slots they have filled and take a chance on them having some keys or nicer coins, haven't gotten burned yet. If I were to buy something expensive like a variety or key coin I would only get it slabbed. The only problem I run into is finding one coin I need for a couple of bucks, then they dont' have other ones I need and end up getting one coin shipped where the shipping costs as much as the coin! Key is know your stuff, if you know your stuff and don't spend thousands on one trade you should do just fine, I have been buying coings off of ebay for years, gotten a few overgraded coins but I bid like it is 2 grades back of what they say it is anyways.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
