After you send the money and discover you've been taken on a ride you complain from the rooftops that you've been ripped off! But.... you knew you weren't entitled to the money whether it existed or not.... Buying a coin that is potentially a valuable coin, say $100.00 for cheap , say for $3.00 (and taking advantage of the seller who you could have explained to that the coin might be much more valuable than his asking price) and then complaining when you find out you've been had because you didn't get away with a cheap valuable coin is your fault because you put yourself in that position.[/QUOTE]
