[QUOTE="asciibaron, post: 364221, member: 8566"]there is a glaring difference between threads that use an eBay auction to teach about that coin type and those that are finger pointing and snickering at the auction or what they feel is an overgrading of the coin, or heaven forbid, it is just an SGS labeled plastic holdered coin. threads that use an eBay auction to educate typically don't have the title "OMGZ, LOOK AT THIS EBAY RIPOFF!!!11!!!!" or words to that effect. the content of the thread is not filled with subjective drivel like "this seller is ripping everyone who buys this crap." Typically the thread exists to show what a specific grade looks like, how to detect a counterfeit, some common problems found with that coin etc. the problem is, most of those types of thread degrade into a discussion of the specific auction and lose sight of the point the OP was making regarding the coin. that's my beef with the eBay auction threads and simply jumping up and down waving your arms at every auction is fruitless at best. thus the reason to point out the obvious. -Steve[/QUOTE]
