<p>[QUOTE="Michael W. Bradley, post: 7843585, member: 114144"]My experience with a "not as described vendor" went on for nearly a year with my filing under state consumer protection. There was no ruling on the merits-as apparently local judges don't understand the coin hobby. But pulled an obscure case out of the blackhole stating that one has to essentially prove more than one sale IN OHIO to qualify. There are 93 pages of case law on the subject (with about 25 cases per page)! I purchased online one of the great roman emperors-an inexpensive coin-but features were clear enough to make out. (I was winning bidder of three). When I received it, it was covered in that thick black lacquer, which I naturally thought I would uncover what I bought, but turned out to be a non-identifiable cull/slug piece. When I contacted the seller he unleashed a barrage of vitriolic and profanity. Then the game was on with the seller and the (here very popular unnamed) internet company. What irritates me most of all is now I have to question perhaps others in may collection thanks to this one jerk. He put a dark cloud over what was beginning to be an enjoyable hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
