I took the plunge - first eBay purchase

Well, I finally decided to bid on eBay. I have been using Yahoo! Auctions for over a year, but have decided to check out eBay because it seems that is the site of choice. I did a little sniping, and won 2 auctions tonight from David Hall Rare Coins. Not big money, but I like what I got. It is pretty easy to spend way too much money; so I will have to be careful, and not upset the wife.
Check them out and tell me what you think...... Did I do "OK" for my first auctions?

Without even being close to the house authority on these coins, I really don't see how you could have gone too wrong. It's a no lose scenario, two beautiful coins for a reasonable price, from a company with a track record that insures you are a least dealing with professionals. Good job and congratulations. A good foray into the land of eBay.
Question though. Whats with the pics they look kind of odd, out of focus or played with a little?
But don't worry these proofs from late 70s - early 80s are very strong DCAMs
I did email them several days ago about shipping, and they stated they would combine shipping on the 2 coins for $8 total. I also reminded them of that in my email to them. So I hope it won't be a problem. The only other item of concern was it them saying these weren't actual pictures of the coins, but would be just like them. I was a little hesitate about that, but seeing their reputation, I decided for the price, I hardly could lose.
I only tell her about every third coin I buy.

Yea, I am a little worried about the coins. The auction stated "Please note that the coin in the photo isn't the actual coin you will be purchasing but an example of the coin." Normally, I won't buy something that you don't get the actual coin as pictured; but with the reputation of David Hall, the fact that is has been certified PF69DCAM by PCGS, and the price was low enough to chance it, it decided what the heck.
But no bet.
I'll post pics of the coins when I get them.
