<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Steelers72, post: 7550712, member: 112504&quot;]I agree 100%. Something is truly wrong in the kingdom if collectors need to hire people to do checks on online listing accuracies.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is just a fun hobby of mine. I try to collect the best based on what I can afford. For most, coin collecting is a hobby to escape from reality a bit &amp; submerge into the history.</p><p><br /></p><p>The “if you dont like it, hire a representative” is a ludicrous statement. How about we hold auction houses accountable and demand better?&nbsp; Imo, it’s laughable. Paying a finders fee for someone to look for particular coins for me at shows is one thing (I’ve done this often). Paying for someone to do a check on an auction listing’s accuracy is another (and is absurd imo).</p><p><br /></p><p>If a seller is going to offer products online, they had better take the best quality pictures. If they insist on employing the same decades old photography methods (current iPhones &amp; a few interns could do a heck of a better job for some auction houses imo), the cataloguers should be sure to accurately note conditions. All coins, and especially higher end coins should be properly described.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did not need a phD with 60 years experience in the hobby to have seen those field abrasions in hand[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
