<p>[QUOTE="Mac McDonald, post: 7717907, member: 117420"]Sellers are out there everywhere...incl on eBay if not mainly by sheer numbers...making their claims, assessments, and opinions about their raw coins for sale. That people...you/me, et al... disagree with their claims, etc., does not, in/of itself, make them "bad sellers" nor eBay a bad stage. But the reality is that it's much more incumbent on buyers to know what they're looking at and to ask questions, request more photos, do their research, ask for help, et al, before buying or if to buy, etc...but again, esp with raw coins. I wouldn't buy anything raw of any real value from anyone I didn't well know/trust or who didn't come highly recommended by someone I did...and well. Not defending eBay...they could/should absolutely do a better job policing their website for obvious issues of deliberate misrepresentation, fraud, and ultra-excessively inflated prices, and I don't like them anymore than many here on CT, if for different reasons than this, but the old tried/true advisory of "buyers beware" isn't about sellers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
