I'm thinking not. Doesn't take over a week to roll search one roll.

 

yeah but i don't understand, is he afraid to say he made a mistake a lost, or did he hit the motherload and doesn't want to share i'm so confused :rollling:

 

Likely salted, especially if a first-time buyer. Let someone think they will get something good and they will likely come back to get bit in the behind next time.

Actually, there were some, even smaller banks (in our neck of the woods too) that did crimp rolls at least back to the early 50's.

Such a thing is not necessary. Some of the guys who do this can crimp by hand much better than any cheapie machine or a String and Sons twister. There used to be a local college kid who was always looking to buy so-called "better dates" on the cheap, and who openly admitted to selling salted rolls on the bay. He wrapped and crimped by hand with very impressive results. While there are truly original rolls still out there, ebay is not the wisest place to look for them IMO.

 

There are 4 big lies in this world:

1) One size fits all
2) No purchase necessary
3) He's just a friend
AND
4) Unsearched rolls

 

I don't think anyone in their right mind would ever sell an actual "unsearched roll," much less dozens of them, unless they really didn't know what they were doing. Loopholes exist around the term "unsearched" that help keep such claims from false advertising. After all, how does one prove that a roll really is unsearched? Or if it's not "unsearched?" The burden of proof falls on the accuser. One would have to obtain video of the seller actually searching a specific roll, then wrapping it up again and selling the exact same roll, beyond a reasonable doubt, as "unsearched." It would take a well planned inside sting job to obtain such footage, but even then how would one ever prove that the roll in the video is the exact same roll that was sold as "unsearched?" Short of a direct confession, that's a nearly impossible burden to take on. The only way one could get caught is by claiming that an "unsearched" roll dated to a specific year and then that roll contained specimens more recent than that year. Yet, even then, one would need to prove intent.

I will only say that I have no plans to ever purchase "unsearched" rolls, because I highly doubt, though I admittedly can't definitely prove, their existence.

 

God save me, why are we doing this? Necro........
