[QUOTE="Blaubart, post: 1470013, member: 37498"]I have used it and have never had a problem outside of the occasional scammer trying to get me to accept a third party check for more than the amount of the coins and send the coins together with the difference, etc. So far I have primarily been buying on craigslist, but selling would actually be safer because you don't have to worry about counterfeits. My strategy is to meet the person at my bank where I examine the coins and we discuss price. I then withdraw as much money as I need and I buy the coins. It works the same when you're selling, except that they bring cash or you meet at their bank where they can withdraw cash. When selling locally on craigslist, cash is king. Do not accept any checks or money orders unless you know and trust the person.
