Anyone ever have any luck with these?

But it takes two to tango. You can't tell me that Anthony's wasn't trying to rope in someone exactly like the buyer of that lot - someone who thought they could make a quick, substantial profit. They knew exactly what they were doing by presenting a bunch of junk silver as a bona fide collection. They were hoping someone would be duped into thinking the lot wasn't cherry-picked and there might be something of real value among the slag.

Forgive me if I don't feel sorry for anyone here.

@John Anthony, I agree with you completely. Seller looking for the uninformed, buyer looking for a lottery ticket.

What I don't care for at all, is the buyer wanting to take a chance, but when it doesn't pay off, he doesn't want to "pay the price".

 

It will be interesting to see if they take it back or how much of a hassle it is or it becomes. Never bought a bulk lot from anybody.

 

I got $7,000.00 sitting around let me go buy some slugs.

 

What happens if the dealer refuses the shipment on the return? Or, could the dealer seek a restocking fee to cover his expenses? Would the second scenario satisfy eBay's return policy? All this does is confirms to me another reason why I don't even bother to read the ads for stuff like this.

 

Also there are so many pieces to this lot, who's to say the "buyer" didn't cherry pick a few non photographed items before returning it. It would be a nightmare trying to ascertain whether it was all there

 

If the seller refuses to agree to a return, the buyer can ask eBay to step in. eBay can force a refund if they rule in favor of the buyer.

As a seller of such a lot, you would be wise to have a restocking fee included in a return. Between postage, shipping supplies (in this shipment the seller even used buckets to ship), time spent checking each item, etc, you definitely need to have a restocking fee to prevent taking a big loss.

As someone else mentioned earlier, it's hard to have sympathy for either party involved since they were only looking out for themselves. With that said, I think the dealer gets the shorter end of the stick.

For this reason the dealer gets shafted the most. Both sides have to eat shipping, but dealer has to go through everything and check it all. I suppose the buyer could take a chance and try to switch something out, but if the dealer has a photo then the buyer risks losing his entire case. Definitely something to think about.

 

Would not even consider without seeing it in person.

 

The dealer was looking for a sucker. He found one in the mirror. Absolutely no sympathy for the dealer. He got exactly what he deserved.

 

Put a NEW lid on and they are impossible to pry off without cutting,great for keeping the truckers from "presorting" your goods for you.....

 

Yea, but there might have been an original pic of Billy the Kid hidden somewhere in there worth millions.
