<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2219931, member: 36230"]And there we have it (and I'm glad someone else brought it up)... While I commend the OP for making the effort to explain his position to the seller, I also assume the OP is a complete unknown to him, and therefore cannot blame him for not simply taking his word for it. This isn't to say that such a claim shouldn't be taken seriously, but just that a seller not jumping when told to do so doesn't automatically mean he's "dishonest". There have been other threads on this very forum when such a claim was made and only later was it discovered that the one pointing the finger was, in fact, also wrong. Put yourself in the seller's shoes... if someone you've never met before and have no idea how much knowledge or experience they may or may not have tells you, after returning, your item is fake, would you simply believe them, and in this case, toss a medal apparently valued in the upper hundreds? A little research may certainly be in order though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do understand that I'm not defending the seller's actions as I am not familiar enough with this item to say either way, plus I don't know what, if any, actions were taken by him to confirm or deny the OP's claim.
