Ramon Jr. has composed a black list of traders trading on ebay. One can conclude from this list that ebay is definitely not the place to randomly buy stuff. imho, Steve is from another planet when he states that ebay is no worse than other sites. Vcoins is also another good site. Their Vauctions offer some good buys. For myself, there are only several dealers on ebay I would buy with the absolute confidence: Sue's antiquites, tuppennyblue, and helios gallery. Once in a while, I recall Bron lists some cool stuff and Bron also highlights some good sellers when they occasionally offer some authentic stuff. Nabors, forgot his ebay name, also offers authentic ancient artifacts. Unfortunately, these guys are not "regulars" in ebay. I apologize in advance if I did not list some other sellers who also list authentic stuff on ebay.
sincerely,
wesley
