<p>[QUOTE="Hamhawk, post: 1346852, member: 31158"]IMHO what the seller is doing is wrong. He or she are in for some really bad Karma, somewhere down the road. But it all goes back to "Buyer Beware". Sure it might be an expensive lesson for a buyer to learn, but it's a priceless lesson they won't forget. People have gone through and read his feedback, looked at his ID history, all kinds of stuff. it's sort of obvious, he's a taking some liberties but this kind of "marketing" is everywhere, and people have to be on guard for it. Ebay has all of these tools and policies so people can make these calls on their own. Another poster mentioned the long winded descriptions designed so people would get bored and just skim them. Yeah I did just that, but I had no intention of bidding. The thing is if buyers are not going to read the description of what they're bidding on then chances are they also didn't follow the first rule of collecting. Buy and READ the book before you buy coin. They might have the book but chances are the only thing they've looked at are the pictures. So essentialy they are getting what they want. Something fun to look at and sort through. It might bring them many hours of joy to just look through.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
