<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clavdivs, post: 3018675, member: 93702&quot;]I am a rookie and buy inexpensive ancient coins that interest me and help me to learn about and enjoy my new hobby/obsession. eBay scares me and I stay away.. but I do like searching for deals (like anyone else) and the auction process is enjoyable so it is frustrating that this large resource is pretty much off limits. I just do not have the experience at this point to determine real from fake in most cases.</p><p>I really love the Forvm members auction as I believe enough experienced eyes are on it to keep it clean. But the volume/turnover isn&#039;t huge.</p><p>I know Forvm and other sites keep up to date &quot;Fake eBay Seller&quot; lists and these are useful to a point but it only takes a few minutes to change an eBay name and post again.</p><p>So why not a list of reliable eBay sellers for us newbies? I see hints all over this site with titles or comments like &quot;still good deals to be found on eBay&quot; or &quot;got it from that seller again&quot; and responses to these comments can be &quot;he has great stuff &quot;, etc.. but the sellers name is never mentioned. I don&#039;t know if it is fear of praising one seller while not mentioning another? No idea.</p><p>Being new to Ancient Coin collecting is very daunting.. in many cases that is what makes it a great and enjoyable challenge. eBay on the other hand is a minefield for newbies and I think this can turn off potential collectors from the hobby in general. Am I way off base here? That is entirely possible lol .... cheers and Happy Friday![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
