<p>[QUOTE="princeofwaldo, post: 1553968, member: 24091"]In some ways eBay was more fun when I got to be in a lawsuit. Only happened once, the seller was doing a ponzi scheme selling gold and platinum bullion coins. Which worked great for him until the market moved against him in a big way. He then resorted to mailing empty packages via registered mail and claiming they must have been pilfered in the mail. I was one of the guys who didn't get his coin, a 1999 quarter ounce platinum eagle that I had paid $119 to the seller via check. Really didn't think I would ever see my money or the coin when word spread that one of the other buyers who got ripped-off was a Georgia State Trooper. Those guys take getting ripped-off rather personal, and said trooper took a week of vacation to head up-state New York to tesitfy against the seller. fast forward nearly 2 years after the transaction, I go to my mailbox and lo and hehold a check for my $119 from some victims restitution fund. Of course by then the same coin was a $200 coin (now a $450 coin). But at least I got my money back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
