<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NoviceCoinSeller, post: 3437201, member: 102522&quot;]I&#039;m the seller.&nbsp; Thanks Hookman for letting me know about this thread.&nbsp; The reason I mention PCGS catalog numbers is so people know exactly what coin they&#039;re bidding for in case they want to easily look it up.&nbsp; That&#039;s all.&nbsp; There was no attempt by me to somehow defraud the public.&nbsp; I am new to the hobby and selling because my 102 year old grandmother&#039;s hospice care is about $6k a month and needs the extra income.&nbsp; I guess she didn&#039;t figure on living this long.&nbsp; I used &quot;not proof like&quot; because I wanted to assure potential buyers that my judgement of the coin was that it would not be PL or DMPL at all.&nbsp; That was my only intent.&nbsp; I did a few and then realized that it was probably not worth it to mention because I had already stated that I was not an expert.&nbsp; I simply didn&#039;t want people buying the coins and returning them because of something I wrote in the auction.&nbsp; My intent was not to draw in more bidders by using the word proof.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Three of the auctions were automatically taken down by eBay for &quot;keyword spamming&quot;.&nbsp; I figured it was the &quot;proof like&quot; wording, so I took that out and re-listed.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And Mr. johnmilton, I&#039;ll let my grandmother know that the collection she started for her son who later died at 17 in a car accident isn&#039;t up to snuff.&nbsp; She grew up poor in northeastern Louisiana, went to nursing school in Shreveport, and saved to be able to care for her children.&nbsp; The coins are listed as &quot;uncertified&quot; in the area where more details are given, so I assumed this was all on the up and up, but again, such a huge disappointment to some.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have had a couple people get mad at me because I clearly stated in my terms that I do not ship to PO Boxes because of fraud I&#039;ve had to endure when selling other items before.&nbsp; But, they didn&#039;t read the terms, bid, and won anyway.&nbsp; It wouldn&#039;t surprise me if the young lady who posted was one of those people.&nbsp; To some, when the world doesn&#039;t bend to your liking, it&#039;s always someone else&#039;s fault.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s funny to me that I&#039;ve listed so many coins starting well below value but some people have to imagine that there is some malicious intent in the way I&#039;ve posted on eBay.&nbsp; I&#039;m trying to help the woman who took care of me when I was younger by not overvaluing the coins and getting &quot;fair market value&quot;.&nbsp; That&#039;s all.&nbsp; I did not go to the &quot;how to post coins&quot; eBay class.&nbsp; Sorry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
