Message:: [QUOTE="clembo, post: 588173, member: 8033"]Figure out what you want to buy, how much you want to pay for it then start doing some digging. Ebay has changed SO much in the past few years that one really has to be careful. On the rare occasion I bid I ask A LOT of questions to a seller unless it is CLEARLY stated in the auction. If I don't get answers I don't bid. Period. At times I come off as very anti-ebay and will admit I am to an extent. Too many rip offs but there are still quite a few legit and honest sellers. As for "unsearched wheats" let me tell you this. I work in a coin shop. Presently we have about 80,000 wheats in stock and all are unsearched - BY ME. I don't have the time is what it boils down to and my boss isn't going to pay me for several days work to sort them. So technically they have NOT been searched. Now as for the people we buy them from chances are they were searched.Key date Lincolns are rare for a reason. I"ve found a few "better" ones just by noticing wear patterns and taking a look. Don't get sucked into the game though. "Salted" lots are very common. Helps the feedback and gets more suckers in line.[/QUOTE]
