Someone was looking for a raw Saint?

Just the other day here I saw a thread where somebody asked a question about getting some raw Saints.
What does someone look for in this instance, specifically on ebay? the coin, the terms, the seller's rep? What about this one currently out there?

Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

To resist the power of the temptation to buy a widget like that raw instead of from a trusted dealer or at a show for about the same price (maybe even less).
Something's wrong with it.

I disagree. If you lose, you still get to play again and if you win, you win. I believe I saw an 1839 half posted this morning that looked like a sweet ebay purchase. --Jerry

My point was that you may win a few times but eventually you will lose. Good luck with that raw 1839 half.

Whatever its grade, I sure like how it looks though.
