<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2216912, member: 112"]I don't think he's talking about the sticker Mark. I think he's talking about only buying sight seen coins, whether they have a CAC sticker on them or not. And since any coin you buy on ebay you buy sight unseen - then you simply don't buy coins in ebay. That's how you miss them.</p><p><br /></p><p>But fish there's an answer to that. And it applies to buying coins sight unseen from a dealer, a private individual, or ebay. As long as the seller has a no questions asked return policy then you can buy the coins sight unseen because eventually you will have the coin in your hands and can see it. And it is only then when it becomes sight seen that you decide to keep it or return it. </p><p><br /></p><p>The downside of that method is that you risk having to shipping and insurance twice if you decide you want to return the coin. And of course with ebay you run the additional risk of the seller refusing to honor his return policy and refund your money and then having to go through the Paypal nightmare.

Buying coins on ebay has several conditions that should be met, before you ever buy the coin. The first of those is that you know the coins well. The next is that you know how to grade. The next is that you know the market - what real values are, not ebay values. The next is that you know the seller, and no you cannot know someone based on ebay feedback. You have to know them by reputation and personal references from others you trust.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if all of those conditions are met, then buy on ebay, but only then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
