[QUOTE="omahaorange, post: 1093168, member: 28199"]I dunno, this sounds kinda like buyer's remorse Why is it this guy's fault that you got "taken"? I read through the description and checked the photos. Yeah, the story was a little on the embellished side. I buy box and bag lots of foreign coins at live auctions all the time. I will only bid up to what I think the lot is worth to me. Did you pay too much for this lot? Absolutely. At 6 cents apiece, 250 coins would run you about $15.00. But how hard did you look at this lot before you bid? Did you get caught up in "Auction Fever"? There are thousands upon thousands of posts regarding eBay scams just like this one. One reason why I don't use eBay to purchase. Was the seller morally right? No, but free enterprise makes descriptions like this possible (ever buy a car?). The fact that this auction attracted 21 bids means you are not alone. But I saw nothing in the description that could be termed "fraud". Keep in mind you continued to bid until you won the auction. How is this the seller's fault? Sorry to be so negative, but a little closer look at the pictures, taking the description with grain of salt, and limiting your bids to what you thought the lot was worth, all would have prevented the situation you find yourself in now.[/QUOTE]
