<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1932653, member: 19463"]It is a sad fact that sellers of coins need to apply some common sense if they are to make more profit on a coin than the post office does. I rarely look at Forvm Auctions simply because most coins are not worth the effort. When someone posts a decent coin (I would have paid $4.50 + $5 post for Martin's coin but not $25) I am likely to miss it. That is why eBay succeeds. Every day I look there, I see one coin that I would have in my collection. Usually it is overpriced already but at least I saw it. I buy most of my coins from shows. When I start coming home empty handed, perhaps I will spend more time looking at Forvm. Perhaps I should just write to Martin and ask him what he is seeking to unload but since he is 'over there' I'd really rather adopt things from members on this side of the pond simply because of demon postage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
