  I don;t want you to start getting the jitters.................

  I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

  Same here
  Have not listed much these days, and have found better places to buy as well. Still watch like a hawk tho for those special's that do appear.

  Summer is traditionally super slow for coin sales on ebay, however it can also be a great time to pick up bargains. Less buyers means lower prices and I think most veteran sellers know this and don't list as much so they aren't stuck with more listing fees that are already bad enough.

  My eBay activity, both buying and selling, has been very limited since Feb. 20. Right now I have no activity at all.

  All glory is fleeting.

  I haven't bought or sold on eBay for just over 2 years.
  
  When I found proxibid.com I started buying there. And found 2 auction houses (Level II) to consign also.
  
  SAN also has coins if you don't mind weeding through stamps.

  It's been two months since I sold anything on e-bay and about a month since my last purchase and it was not coin related.
  
  I hear that slow bell ringing too.

  Almost anything worth buying is overprotected by extremely high opening bids and reserves.

  i do not even bother look right now. i simply do not care to waste
  countless hours of time looking at widgets to find that one coin out
  of 1000s.
  
  i have better things to do, especially during the summer.

  Hmmmm. Shameless plug. Or you could go to my little items, too, under anita0550.
  
  You are right, though. It is seemingly extremely slowwwww. I'm losing my shirt, so this may be it for a while. I've also pretty much stopped buying, as well. It seems sellers are holding back better graded PCGS items.

  If it wasn't for the fact I'm buying for someone else my eBay activity would be close to zeerow.
