<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1010068, member: 26302&quot;]I for one love hearing people bash Ebay and I hope they all stop buying there. Yes, there are sharks, yes there are forgeries that can and do turn innocent buyers against the hobby. I wish Ebay would do more about Chinese fakes and make it easier to flag fakes and copyright violations. However, I buy some good stuff there cheaply and I will continue to buy there as long as people continue to post. I only shop the auctions, not the BIN, and still get good deals. Basically its buying without the safety net of a dealer, which is not advised for new collectors, but profitable for someone who knows what they are doing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: One other great plus is you can actually find stuff you want to Buy on Ebay. Try being an ancient collector in the Midwest sometime, not a lot of options. Even coin shows may have one dealer with ancients, but the prices are very high and I do not like negotiating downward. I would rather participate in an auction and set my maximum price, and many times get it even cheaper. I do participate in US and overseas auctions as well, but Ebay lets me buy continuously and search out the esoteric coins I am interested in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
