<p>[QUOTE="Collectorofcoin, post: 348320, member: 13209"]I don't think you are giving enough credit to the buyers. People are smart, and there are plenty of resources out there to educate beginners. My nephew bought a quarter from a dealer last week for $4 when it wasn't worth half that. I asked him why he bought that one and he told me it was because he liked it and it was silver and who knows how high silver is going. I said well in that case I think you made a good purchase. Now I could have called the dealer an accused him of taking advantage of a 10 year old because the grade on the holder (Proof 70) was clearly not right, but it didn't matter because he didn't buy it thinking it was a PF70. He bought it because it looked nice to him and he wanted something silver. You have heard my explanation of it. I think if you are going to bad mouth anyone on eBay stick to the phony grading companies and people that do actually tell you that you can make millions buying their coins. I agree with bonedigger people are intelligent enough to read how to grade coins, especially if someone is looking to buy something on eBay. And IF you had listed an 87 Porsche on eBay and used the letters BMW in the title do you think people would buy it expecting to get a Porsche, or do you think people would want to open it up and see the pictures to see what’s going on. EBay has stood behind our listings numerous times and furthermore the listings will be changed so even a fifth grader can understand them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
