<p>[QUOTE="ReaperRuler, post: 1775893, member: 38320"]For me, if a dealer is going to have a website, the dealer has to be reputable. At the same time, if he/she is also going to have a B&M shop, their website should have quality pictures. I currently don't purchase coins online because I've been burned too many times by not receiving what was in the picture.</p><p> </p><p>I prefer a dealer site that has an easily navigable page and quality pics. One B&M shop I visit has a website but it hasn't been updated in 3 years, so it's worthless. His store has a multitude of stuff once you get there, but the website doesn't help. The other coin shop I frequent has a comprehensive website, but has no pictures of the coins they're selling even though they tout that they will and are in the process of uploading them (and have been for 3 years).</p><p> </p><p>Basically, if I'm going to buy coins, I don't buy them online.
