<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1352595, member: 19065&quot;]We do know, which is why we know to ask for the links so as to have something more precise to base judgements/comments on, rather than make generalized comments. Thanks for the links. Now lets see what we all think about the example you presented us with... but first, you&#039;ve already answered your own question about why they say a note should grade higher, the seller is &#039;just trying to sell something.&#039; No, the item will not sell to you, because you are more informed and have a differing opinion as well as recoil at their over-estimation. That keeps you safe from potential hacks misleading you, but someone else can be wooed by the claims when they cannot see the note in hand before bidding/buying or don&#039;t have the requisite skills to differ with a misleading sellers sales pitch. Less informed bidders wouldn&#039;t even understand how to contend with the price asked for the note, but all the pushy hype in the redundant bold colored text of the item description might get someone&#039;s heart in a panic to spend money on something else the seller likely has listed for less money. I doubt this note, even if in the possession of this seller would ever sell on eBay. It&#039;s more a piece of paid advertising to bolster their listings. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, with as many notes available as you found out there which interest you in higher grades, you can easily choose not to work with the sellers who misrepresent in their listings. I find on eBay that many in the numismatic categories, struggle to charm grades beyond what professional grading companies already stated. And this is based on grading widely accepted by most of the hobby, that usually tends to agree with grades assigned, outside of some rare mistaken grades of course. </p><p><br /></p><p>The better step to take is a step away from eBay and this trading environment entirely if it&#039;s as frustrating to you as it has become for me too. Elevate your collection and your relationship with sellers by following auctions on more premium services, such as Heritage Auctions, Teletrade, Bowers &amp; Merina, Lyn Knight, among others and kiss eBay goodbye. Say so long with the distress eBay sellers caused you when you find your time wasted by these listings you&#039;re mired in. </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with you, the misrepresentation by many sellers on eBay turns me off. </p><p><br /></p><p>Likewise, eBay policies turn me off, perhaps more so. The company&#039;s lack of action on fake errors as well as a recent decision to disallow eBucks certificates for purchasing bullion is discouraging. Unless I know a seller from a forum when it comes to a numismatic item, I hardly peruse eBay for much anymore than when someone brings up something here. </p><p><br /></p><p>The internet is full of resources from which to acquire premium notes and other things we may desire, have a look around. </p><p><br /></p><p>Again thanks for the links. Regards. :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
