<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 2048373, member: 22331&quot;]Since I acted as the conduit for removal of the &quot;suspected&quot; copy, as others have asked of CoinTalk, without reliable proof of non-authenticity, I received a differing response from the seller.</p><p><br /></p><p>The seller response requested reliable proof that the coin isn&#039;t authentic. This response could be anticipated if a seller had their auction removed, or was forced/coerced into an &quot;action&quot; deemed unpalatable by the seller.</p><p><br /></p><p>I knew that the immediate liability upon sending my e-mail was the cost of purchasing the coin, and expenses associated with the coin listing. Further potential liability would be that of submission to TPGs, only to receive a response of &quot;questionable authenticity&quot;. Further potential liability is that of a litigious action, where a lay-jury could not be absolutely convinced of a fraudulent action. The jury could return a favorable verdict for the seller with punitive damages.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe this is the possible &quot;Pandoras Box&quot; scenario that is to be avoided when stating that an item isn&#039;t authentic.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will ask the seller for a direct e-mail address to forward this thread (that often can&#039;t/won&#039;t be forwarded through eBay messaging) which precipitated the auction deletion process. I also believe that eBay has not allowed e-mail address transmissions without a court subpoena.</p><p><br /></p><p>To Be Continued!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Rich[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
