<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 678661, member: 19065"]I'm glad to see that you are offering a Return Policy and you <i>do</i> know that you can go back and Revise your listing and fix those grammatical errors if they bother you or affect your description.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not think you should have listed the price you paid for this coin in this thread in the event that someone, members here or elsewhere, sees the last price paid prior to bidding in your auction on eBay.

How will you answer questions you may receive from more knowledgeable buyers than yourself? Will you ask the CT members so you can use that information to reply to them? I think regardless of your glowing item description language you may loose prospective buyers if you can't meet/match their inquiries to your actual experience level and they will sense it in your replies, especially if its huckstering or flowery and lacks the correct sophistication. I know this is a learning thing for you, so don't get upset with me please. These are just my thoughts based on the OP, item description and are some of the things that turn me away from such auction language as I prefer less hype to the plain facts: mintage for that year and clear pics = good info to see. Saying PCGS is the best, that's rather subjective and an unnecessary detail to impart.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
