What should I do?

I won the bid on a BU set of Roosevelt dimes. 1946 P D and S.

Then I noticed she had 2 other lots of the same thing.

But all 3 lots had the same picture.

I hate stock photos. When I buy a coin, I want to get the one pictured, otherwise we may be dealing with carbon spots, unwanted toning, etc.

So I emailed the seller and informed him/her that I was putting together a set of Roosevelt dimes, and needed each coin to be flawless, as they were in the picture of the lot I won.

So I get a reply back:
Each picture is of the exact item listed.

The lot I won.

As you can see, they are all the same pictures.

If you are not happy with them, return them as snad.

 

I wouldn't do anything until you get the coins. If you're not happy with them,worry about it then.

 

I had this same kind of issue back in my franklin days. What really burned my butt is that a lot of eBay sellers were even using stock photos for SLABBED coins.

Seriously? How hard is it to take a picture of a coin? Even a cell phone camera can take a decent picture.

 

You got them for under melt. (right now, $7.39)

 

Not to worry you, but are you shure they will send unc. Coins?

 

Plus $3 shipping.

 

Man I hate looking at stock pic's for something I buy. F-that-sellers should send you what they list-I do not bid on that statrment-you will recieve one that looks like the one above----

 

Missed that.

 

I find it humorous that the seller replied right away to my 1st email (mobile phone), then I emailed her again explaining the pictures, and she has not replied since.

 

That's the only thing you can do. Keep them or return them. :thumb:

 

or neg them

 

Drop back 10 yards and punt!

Seriously, when you receive the coins and they are not what you expected or as described, then SNAD the transaction.

 

She has not responded yet. It would be too big of hassle to pay, wait for them to arrive, make a claim, ship them back, etc. All she has to do is tell me if the coins I bid on are in BU condition like the ones pictured.

 

Gee, I wonder what she will tell you?

 

Either way, it's a 3.00 loss, mabye less, so just take it, unless the time it takes you it worth 3.00, than mark it as a loss and keep going

 

Let me help you with that:

Item specifics

[TABLE="width: 100%"]

Ungraded
Business

Uncirculated
[/TABLE]


Now granted the seller does not state what level of uncirculated, so at the very least they would have to be BU.

Does it really make a difference about the photos as long as you receive 3 uncirculated, 1946 P,D,S Roosevelts?

 

"What Should I do?"

Start paying attanetion BEFORE bidding! ALWAYS check the sellers "other Listings" if you are that concerned.

 

That would be too easy and less stressful, and not give the OP topics for new threads.

 

Well the lady sent me an invoice this afternoon that contained "these coins do not have any spots or toning". So I went ahead and paid for them. I will see how things turn out.
