What are your favorite online coin buying spots?

Stork

I'm currently feeling put out because I tried to buy a coin at Heritage and lost out.



I toyed with the idea of hopping on the train and hitting NYINC...until I realized just how much of a coin budget buster that would've been. Instead I opted to use the proxy bidding and watch live and bid if necessary. There were three lots in a row that fit my criteria and my budget only allowed for one buy.



So, I dropped a solid bid with the 'bid protection' feature set at +1 on the first lot.



Unfortunately the website closed that lot down very quickly (and for a price I thought my bid protection would have made me a winner) but noooooo, it was not to be. I was not sure if I'd won or lost and trying to flip to the 'your bids' to show winning/losing bids took just long enough I'd missed both the following lots...so no bids and it looks like mine was the underbid.



Sigh, I should have taken the train and bid in person. Grumble Grumble. Or, is that whine, whine?



So, I still want to buy SOMETHING (not just anything, but something key to one of my core collecting interests) and my usual spots don't have anything close to the 'wow' coin I was after.



Help me out and tell me your favorite online haunts....



Mine are:



Heritage

Stacks

Goldberg

Great Collections

Ebay



Civitas

Northeast Numismatics

Atlas Numismatics

Clark Smith

Steinbergs

VCoins



edited to add: I never should have done that silly bid protection thing. Never used it before, and if I hadn't then it would have been clear to me that I'd lost. Poop.

I would search MA-Shops also. Also search the individual dealers own web sites.

I have found some interesting stuff at times.

You name many of my favorite haunts. I certainly would agree with YQQ that MA-Shops is worth your while. On occasion, I have had issues, but some of my favorite purchases have been made from some of that site's dealers.

Stephen Album's site may also be worthwhile.

Well you listed most of the ones I use. I'm still waiting patiently for the British to come up, there's still hope!
