<p>[QUOTE="HawkeEye, post: 2746281, member: 86305"]I have sellers on eBay I deal with and I know their habits. I would say that 90%+ of the coins I get from GSC are buffed or cleaned in some fashion. So I bid with that in mind and know when I get the coin it will probably have to be a "pocket piece" for a few months. I also limit any purchases to specific VAMs I am trying to hit. They don't VAM Morgans, so there are overlooked and underpriced bargains. But for those who are outside of Morgans I can understand that there can be real issues with their coins. My advice is to go into the transaction with your eyes open. </p><p><br /></p><p>It seems to me that they have a business model that works for them and they are unlikely to change until it no longer works.
