<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 2815883, member: 78298&quot;]EBay is untrustworthy. Most of the things I have gotten I have been happy with. Two or three I have not. But it&#039;s my own fault. Caveat emptor. I stopped doing business with them. Even if there is &quot;buyer protection&quot; returns, blah blah blah it&#039;s just not worth the hassle.</p><p>Counterfeits, deceptive photography, shill bidders, sniping software, dishonest buyers/sellers, a parent company that doesn&#039;t do enough to ensure fair trade.</p><p>EBay is the reason that so many B and M LCS&#039;s have folded. </p><p>Coin shows are still an option, but in some areas attendance is dwindling and it may not be worth it to rent a booth/table if the sales aren&#039;t there. People come to the shows, look at the coins, talk to the dealers and get valuable information, and then try to buy the coin for less online.</p><p>There&#039;s another thread about the hobby. And while there are new young collectors, the hobby is in decline. (IMO)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
