[QUOTE="oval_man, post: 1151225, member: 22602"]I had two bad experiences with GS, a couple of years ago when he had 4,000 feedback. He now has over 40,000. His photos are juiced and his descriptions exaggerated. I won a good-looking raw Barber dime ("MS64+++!") that, in hand, had been over-dipped into lifelessness; then an NGC-slabbed V-nickel that looked gorgeous in the listing and nothing like it in hand: stains on Liberty's face and neck were concealed in the pics. He's (or they are) making a fortune on people who don't know what they're getting or are too afraid to leave bad feedback if they're displeased. That's my sense anyway. He gives the appearance of integrity in his listings; sure, you can return things, as I did, but I'll bet very few do. And he's counting on exactly what you wrote: "the potential that you could score a substantial discount." Is it really worth it?[/QUOTE]
