<p>[QUOTE="claycad, post: 1158496, member: 17987"]Hmm, that's never crossed my mind actually, my brother buys and sells on craigslist a lot. I am going to try ebay out for a while and see how that goes. At least that way I can let the market determine the sell value by having many people bid. Besides, right now I am selling low grade inexpensive coins that I doubt people would be willing to go out and meet someone to buy. The only concern I have is somebody saying they didn't receive one of their coins. I sold a lot of 24 IHC for instance and plan to sell other lots like that, but I'm concerned that a buyer might receive the package and make a claim that "I received all but the 1909 coin, send me another or give me a partial refund". I actually got what I thought was a brilliant idea and video taped my placing each coin into mailer and sealing it with the shipping label already on it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Not recieving a coin is frustrating too. I ordered a few from a guy and didn't receive a Sacajawea proof that I paid ~$10 for in my package. I contacted the seller and he swore he put it in the package, well I swear that he didn't. Now I don't think the guy was trying to rip me off. I think it may have been an honest mistake and he probably thought I was scamming him trying to get an extra $10 coin. Finnally after many email correspondences he agreed to send me another coin, BUT HE NEVER DID. It actually slipped my mind for a while, by the time I ever thought of it again the 45 days or so to file a paypal claim was long over. Atleast it was only $10 and not a lot more. And hey, everyone makes a mistake. I may mistakenly forget to put a coin in a package too, I figure my video taping it, If I ever get a complaint about a missing coin I will have proof that either they lost the coin when opening the package (I try to package in such a way that this is unlikely though) or they are flat out trying to scam me or perhaps I did make an honest mistake and forget to place a coin in the package. It would be on video no matter the case.</p><p><br /></p><p>I tape me counting out the coins out for order, then I show the mailer to the camera with the address label already on it I show each coin to the camera and place it in the mailer and seal it once all the coins are in. I suppose somebody could claim that I simply opened the mailer after the filming, removed a coin and reprinted the address label and put them in a new mailer, but first, I have a little faith that most people are honest and this will never be an issue, and second if it ever was, the person would know they're lying about it and own up to their lie if I sent them a tape of me packaging the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>This may be a little paranoid and overkill though, what do you think?
