chris0985 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I was wanting to know other thoughts about Purchasing /bidding on Iraqi dinar on Ebay? Is it a good or bad idea? And why or why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddieisme Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I have purchased a little from ebay. I only purchased smaller amounts. The larger amounts always seem to get bid up higher than I can purchase elsewhere. Some also have free shipping which keeps the overall cost down. The bills seem legit so I say go for it. Also I only purchased from ones with a return guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamm Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Chris I have purchased a little over two mill on ebay and never got burnt on any deal. Try to deal with the ones with free shipping. I have also bought from GID Associates on the larger amounts with no problems. Good luck Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris0985 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Thanks I have purchases some on ebay and have had good luck so far. Thanks for the positive feedback. Some of my family think I'll have hard time to cashing in since I didn't purchase them form a dealer or a bank. But i don't see why I would have a hard time.

EmilyJJJ Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I have purchased almost all of mine off E Bay. Not a Bad Experience yet. My Favorite seller is Rocknroll2002. He is the quickest to ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Has anyone heard about the 500 denominations not being accepted in the states? The interpreters over here are saying that they are easiest to counterfeit, just wondered – I have some of my own but not too many in the 500’s – I just recently purchased the 250’s over here – just to add to my stash. Ok so my question is – has anyone heard that the 500’s will be tougher to cash in when the times comes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungrytorv Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Go to Bing.com and open a microsoft live cashback account. Click on shopping and then click on cashback stores. Click on e and will open all stores srarting with letter e. Scroll to ebay and click. Right now you get 8% cashback on buy it now items. If you buy you have to start a new ebay session through bing to get 8% on next purchase. I have gotten over $2000 cashback from microsoft in the last year. You will see your casback within 60 days. Here is the link on ebay http://pages.ebay.com/cashbackoffer/terms.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tykeejoe Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I have done the bing cashback as well. As long as you "buy it now" and pay with paypal, you get the 8% back right away. No need to wait for a check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tykeejoe Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Also, if you are signed up for ebay bucks you get an additional 2% back to spend every three months. That 10% back is a lot better than the rates I was paying at 5/3 in Ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8cooker142 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Things to look at n: which the price it sometimes goes too high especially the smaller denominations, make sure it is free shipping, they screw you on the shipping cost and that's a way they make a ton of money, and the last thing check their feedback ratings to make sure they don't have negative feedback and only buy from people in the United States, buying from Jordan takes forever to get and you can get burned.

sos Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Just under 3 million of my Dinar was purchased via ebay. Never burned. The benefit is that you can bid an amount well under the best "purchase" prices you can get from dealers and some of your bids will survive the auction and you get it cheap. I keep all bills in the envelope and with the receipts that they were shipped with. Over the 2.925 million dinar purchased, I have a net investment of .893 dollars per dinar. That includes any shipping costs. The down side is that when i did win a bid at such a cheap price the seller would sometimes be reluctant to fulfill the transaction and the shipping can be slow. Other downside is that you have to spend the time to bid on everything and right when it comes on ebay, in order to increase your odds of winning the low ones . It took me 1.5 months to acquire that amount from ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dufrenne Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Don't...I'd stay with the "brokers" that have been selling for a few years. They use Delarue machines to confirm their currency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesearl Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Ebay is generally good. Use purchase protection through paypal and they secure the purchase price. I only had one issue and they came through for me and refunded the deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
