<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 16507, member: 487&quot;]Haven&#039;t any of you heard of the missing 6th 1913 Liberty Nickel? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Okay, so all the information states that only 5 were made. But with the credentials of this seller, obviously a 6th coin must have been minted, hidden from public knowledge for 91 years only to surface on Ebay. Luckily, this seller isn&#039;t greedy like the other 3 owners. They are asking 2 to 5 million respectively for their coins. At 10 grand, such a bargain shouldn&#039;t be passed up <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Now if I could only find my checkbook.................</p><p><br /></p><p>Okay, a serious note. Many of you know that my firm does not use Ebay, and sometimes it may seem that I bash it a bit. Of course, sellers like TRADERNICK, stand out in that group. This is one of many reasons that keep me from even considering using such a site. Now some will say, that this particular auction has no chance of fooling a collector, and you are right, but how many do get fooled by cheap prices? </p><p>Anybody ever hear the saying that &quot;If are not with me, you are against me&quot;? Does Ebay help or hurt the hobby? I know that it allows many good things, and allows many people to buy and sell coins. Maybe I am just too critical. I don&#039;t claim that all dealers are good for the hobby either. </p><p>In my very humble opinion, any avenue that allows customers to be blatantly ripped off, is one to avoid. </p><p>The ANA is working this weekend to provide some answers and tips about Ebay and is trying to implement their rules of conduct. While I hope for the best, Ebay has a good reputation for not getting involved. </p><p>Here is one parting thought.</p><p><br /></p><p>Everyone I know that uses Ebay as buyer or seller uses the same quote:</p><p><br /></p><p>BUYER BEWARE</p><p><br /></p><p>Might just be some wisdom in those words <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
