    Including shipping total is $66.5 AUD. Is that reasonable? I'm new to panda collecting :)

    Yeah you cant see in pics and they also don't always use the real pic... so send a message to the seller and ask if it has any white spots or toning.

    I think that's fine with those spots, at least they are MS69, same price with MS69 panda without spots. people purchase with graded coin as they just need that 'MS' or 'PF'

    WOW!!! the prices look so good...but from what I read on the forums, fee-bay has a lot of panda fakes and even the PGCS and NGC coin cases have been copied...

    so for me, I would like to stay away from ebay......

    what are the experts views ?.....

    petercamperdown, yennus, fishball.......your views

    Stay away from eBay unless you know what you're doing...

    Just ask peter or yennus to get you some pandas, usually cheaper and safer.

    Hi Ebenezer, yep, that's very very very cheap for a graded Panda.

    But I have some suspicions:

    1. Ebay... immediate suspicion...
    2. Price ... too cheap (less than $80AUD)
    E.g. A 2010 Panda is worth $60AUD, then grading is about +$30AUD = $90AUD.... so someone is losing at least $10 on this deal.
    3. There is so much demand for Pandas worldwide, no one is likely to sell for a loss.

    But I also have some suggestions...
    1. ChinaMint Forums - these guys are very active in hunting down fake sellers, maybe ask someone to double check the seller (but that might kill your bargain).
    2. I don't recommend using Ebay for Pandas... I don't use Ebay for Pandas (historically Ebay hasn't been a Panda friendly place for buyers or sellers... but then again things might be changing)
    3. If you do use Ebay... you can score some fantastic bargains... but be careful/aware.

    Hope this helps,
    Yennus :)

    2010 MS69s are going for between US $68-72 on FeeBay. I know, I've been trying to get one <70. Now that silver has spiked I may just have to pay >70
