Message:: [QUOTE="MrCheeks, post: 1527992, member: 37257"]I had my first CL experience the other day, when I decided to see what people were selling. I saw an ad for over 150 coins, which the seller broke down by year and denomination and stated that "most were silver." So I did a little research and found that what he was advertising was worth almost $600 in melt and he was asking $350. So I contacted him and went to see what he had. He opens the binder and what do I see? I see pages of worn Buffalo Nickels, some nasty looking pennies and about $150 worth of Franklins and Dimes. Absolutely nothing like what he had advertised and broken down in his ad. So when I told him what he had and how much I'd be willing to pay, and that I really only wanted the silver, he quickly closed the binder and said, "oh, you know what you're talking about huh?" He then said he couldn't sell it and showed me the door. He's someone who is looking for the unsuspecting person who knows nothing about coins to sell his stuff too. I can't stand people like that, who like to take advantage of others. And before you say that I would've bought it for $350 all the while knowing it was worth almost $600 and would've taken advantage of him, I'd like to throw out there that I did go there with over $500 in my pocket and would've made him a fair offer.[/QUOTE]
