[QUOTE="Hommer, post: 2076307, member: 73266"]The other day, someone posted a thread about 99c eBay auctions and I believe the question was: have you ever won one. I feel the need to post this, mainly because of all the negativity that gets posted about the sellers of coins on eBay in these threads. A day or 2 after posting a comment or two on that thread, I ran across several Indian head cents with starting bids of 99c with combined shipping of $1.59. They weren't bad pictures or coins, all with full Liberty and though all the diamonds weren't there, there were several karots in the bunch. I bid them all, 19 of them total, and added a little to the bid for a little insurance. Well you guessed it I won all 19. The total shipping and all was $32. A few days later I got them in the mail, but it was the next evening before i got a chance to look them over. Before I had a chance to even open the envelope, I got an email form the seller stating that he had made a mistake and had failed to ship one of them, but it had been mailed separatly that day. I was thrilled with the coins but almost felt as If I stole them. The next day I got the missing one and he had paid another $3 bucks or so for the postage on a penny that was obviously worth a great deal more than I gave for it. I thanked him for his honesty and his response was that's the price he had to pay for a mistake and for me to enjoy the coins. I actually felt sorry for the guy. He is on top of my go to list for sure and I will give him the chance to make some money soon. I have no clue whether he is a member here, but if he is and reads this, I'd like to thank him again.[/QUOTE]
