[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 208394, member: 669"]The toolhaus link has been posted many, many times at CoinTalk. I myself have posted it at least a half dozen times.Again, there have been many, many posts concerning specific dealers. However, CoinTalk does not maintain a database of those dealers, especially as doing so could result in legal problems for Peter. Bottom line - [indent]First, before buying from any seller on EBay for the first time, always run him/her/it through toolhaus. Even if the feedback is 100%, toolhause will show you any neutrals that have been posted, and many people give neutrals on the (sometimes incorrect) assumption that they won't get a retaliatory neg. Some positives, when read, turn out to be negs, but the only way to find those is to read every feedback entry. :eek: Second, before buying from any seller, EBay or otherwise, for the first time, use the forum search function (top of every page) to look for old threads regarding the seller. Finally, if those steps haven't decided you either for or against doing the deal, ask for help in deciding by posting a query in Coin Chat, US Coins, or World & Ancient, whichever one you feel is appropriate. ;)[/indent][/QUOTE]
