[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 24674312, member: 20480"]There is a very broad cross section of searching / buying habits in this marketplace. We all have different wants and needs: [LIST] [*]Some want the very finest coins, but will consider no more than published prices. [*]Some want coins to fill empty holes at lowest cost, no matter what they look like. [*]Others search only for the best available coins within the grade. [*]Some tire of seeing the same old coins going stale with no drop in prices over time. [*]Some have very little time to search, and go only to one source for their coins. [*]Some desire to look only at coins from specialists in a particular area. [*]Some leave no stone un-turned, in hopes of nailing that unexpected bargain. [*]For others, security, payment method or terms and conditions steer them away. [*]Other [/LIST] There are lots of places to search, and lots to ignore, the below being a list of some examples. [LIST] [*]eBay [*]Heritage Auctions [*]Facebook [*]David Lawrence RC [*]Local brick and mortar coin shops [*]Great Collections [*]Advertising pages in trade magazines (Coin World, etc) [*]MA Shops [*]USA Coin Book [*]Collectors.com (now no longer coin related?) [*]Stacks Bowers [*]US Mint [*]Collectors Corner [*]Local Auctioneers [*]Local coin shows [*]Regional coin shows [*]National coin shows [*]Other [/LIST] We all search some and not others . . . how about you, and why?[/QUOTE]
