<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1239855, member: 13650"]This really isn't a shocker. Many coin buyers on ebay are not well informed, to put it nicely. I agree with your assessment that a sociology prof. could have a field day. Because I've seen people give positive feedback over fakes, planted rolls that they paid good money for but didn't pan out, and transactions gone bad. Some people are so afraid of controversy or of feeling guilty of being screwed, that they will leave a positive feedback regardless of the situation. Then there are many who just didn't know they got ripped off. The feedback system is a very, very basic guideline to let you know that a seller will most likely send you an item after you pay for it. You almost can't read much more in to it than that.</p><p><br /></p><p> Doug opened my eyes with some past Heritage auctions one time as to what true collectors are willing to bid coins up to. Even with 15% buyer premiums, prices on some coins were much less than they went for on ebay. Not all but some.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
