<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 8413684, member: 25270"]One time I remember doing really well on a "collection" of eBay coins was one that was legitimately being sold by a non-collector. It was coins his father had picked up during various travels. I don't remember if the photos were bad or what but for whatever reason it didn't get a lot of bids. I got it for about $7. It turned out to have maybe four or five silver, but the real prize was it was full of early coins from Myanmar, like late 1940s and early 1950s. At the time I don't know if I had any coins from there so it really gave me a nice, instant collection. And for the coins I had doubles of, I sold them back on eBay individually and a few sold for in the range of $15 apiece. Needless to say I was quite pleased. But a deal like that comes once in a great while, and I don't know how it slipped past everyone else because usually someone else notices and bids stuff up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
