<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25875590, member: 101855&quot;]I am a want list collector who plans to buy some things years in advance. I hate eBay because of snipping. I refuse to participate there because of it. EBay is dead to me. When you follow a lot for number of days, end up ahead when it closes and then get outbid by a nominal amount (e.g. $5 on $3,000) with no recourse, it stinks. Life is too short to put up with that crap. It’s happened to me three times, and my response is “never again.”</p><p><br /></p><p>I have mostly used Heritage and Stacks. In both of those ventures, you run into bidders who will pay any price to get a lot. Previous results, price guides or anything else does not matter to them. They keep bidding until they get it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would much rather work with dealers to fill my want lists. I buy it, and I’m done.</p><p><br /></p><p>Auctions are much better for dealers than collectors. A dealer is prepared to buy a wide range of items. If the price is good, they pounce. As a collector, the list is much narrower.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
