<p>[QUOTE=&quot;omahaorange, post: 1346347, member: 28199&quot;]Most of these guys know how to get around the rules.&nbsp; I believe the eBay policy states when listing a &quot;certified&quot; coin they mean in the listing title.&nbsp; I do not think you can list &quot;a coin&quot;, show a picture in a slab, and violate eBay&#039;s regulation on &quot;listing certified coins&quot;.&nbsp; By that I mean I can&#039;t title a listing as &quot;OCG (Omahaorange Coin Guaranty) MS-70 quarter.&nbsp; I can list the coin as a quarter, and showing a photo of that coin in a slab with an OCG label does not violate the policy.&nbsp; As long as I don&#039;t mention the OCG or assigned grade, I am in compliance.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;re also walking on thin ice by this statement:</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="color: #333333"><font face="arial">They are not&nbsp; collections, they are not old &quot;hoards&quot;, they are not even&nbsp; found!</font></span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: #333333"></span> </b><span style="color: #333333"><font face="arial"></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><font face="arial">&nbsp;<b><span style="color: #333333"><font face="arial">These&nbsp; are ALL collections put together by the seller themselves.</font></span></b></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><font face="arial"><b><br /></b></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><font face="arial">&nbsp;<span style="color: #333333"><font face="arial"><b>They purchase old&nbsp; treasure chests, cigar boxes, etc, and fill them with their &quot;self-slabbed&quot;&nbsp; coins, and several other common ones.</b></font></span></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><font face="arial">&nbsp;<b><span style="color: #333333"><font face="arial">Then they photograph it making it look like an old&nbsp; coin collection, to dupe people into checking out their listing.</font></span></b></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><font face="arial"><b><br /></b></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><font face="arial">Can you <b>prove</b> these statements?&nbsp; I know what they look like, and I&#039;m not saying they&#039;re not valid assumptions, but you&#039;ve made an accusation without concrete proof (opinions do not count as proof).&nbsp; This is the same as &quot;unsearched rolls&quot;.&nbsp; We all know those don&#039;t really exist, but can you truely prove that the seller didn&#039;t pull the keys?&nbsp; Can you really prove the seller did place the gold piece on the end of the roll?&nbsp; Did I really get ripped off if I bought the roll for around the going rate?&nbsp; Even if I didn&#039;t score a key date?&nbsp; Is it the seller&#039;s fault if I pay an exhoritant amount for common date coins in an &quot;unsearched roll&quot;, or is my greed at finding a key date for dirt cheap to blame?</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><font face="arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><font face="arial">It&#039;s one thing to discuss among ourselves the pros and cons of falling for these ads.&nbsp; It&#039;s also okay to educate your family and friends.&nbsp; But when you make an open call to &quot;shut down&quot; someone, you best be able to back it up with facts, not opinions.</font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
