<p>[QUOTE=&quot;numist, post: 24566488, member: 35&quot;]I know that it&#039;s not a wise idea to buy coins on eek-bay these days but sometimes there are diamonds in the rough.&nbsp; I&#039;ve bought and sold there since 1998, lately only buying there every once in a while. </p><p>Generally I get what I expect.&nbsp; So far no real problems, coins arrive safely, in a timely manner and are exactly what is pictured and described.&nbsp; Unfortunately that recent record was broken today when I received what was advertised as a nearly uncirculated common date buffalo.&nbsp; What was pictured and described was not quite what I found.</p><p>The coin was certainly not the coin that was pictured.&nbsp; Although it had nearly a full horn and some traces of original luster all the high points were obviously rubbed and polished.&nbsp; </p><p>Of course there was a return policy and I&#039;ve already applied for a refund, repackaged and shipped it back to it&#039;s origin as of this post.&nbsp; I guess it&#039;s a new record for the amount of time the coin flip&nbsp; was on my desk.. about 2 minutes from their packaging to mine, LOL!&nbsp; </p><p>Sorry if this sounds like a rant but it&#039;s a reality of buying online these days.&nbsp; Kind of like playing a game of chance.&nbsp; The coin wasn&#039;t a big time rarity, didn&#039;t cost very much and the return process was easy.&nbsp; </p><p>I guess my point is that this was just a time waster (kind of like this post).&nbsp; Sure would be nice if the coin was what was described. Would&#039;ve saved me time, paper, an envelope, printer ink, tape, aggravation, teaching the cats new bad words and you having to read this long, drawn out mini-rant.&nbsp; I now take you back to your regularly scheduled forum perusal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
