<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2221489, member: 36230&quot;]You damn well know that&#039;s not what I&#039;m saying, and I would very much appreciate you not putting words into my mouth. Perhaps I&#039;ve come to expect too much from you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it REALLY that hard to understand that the common sense course of action would be to at least try to provide INDEPENDENT PROOF when the issue at hand is between two parties that DO NOT KNOW EACHOTHER? Would you, Mark, if selling an item not familiar to you, simply take the word of someone completely unknown to you, or would you take their claim more seriously if they bothered to provide you with proof to back it up? Remember, Lea said that she doesn&#039;t believe the seller able to research for himself, so let&#039;s assume, for whatever reason, you were in the same boat here too. We are on a forum where proof is often provided to back up claims made and/or to educate others, so if good enough here, why not when it could benefit your fellow collector and possibly prevent a bad buy? Also, earlier in this thread submission was agreed as an option, but perhaps you just missed that part.</p><p><br /></p><p>And as for your PS; I couldn&#039;t agree more, yet our resident problem dreck crackout, ahem,&nbsp; &quot;artist&quot; is still here, even after being busted what, 3-4 times on this very board, all buddy-buddy with the membership. I&#039;m certainly not the only one who remembers this, so where are all the noble collectors looking out for their own? Does no one think that this guy uses his participation here, even if only in a roundabout way, to sell coins? Do they not think newbies who recognize him from the forum will think &quot;hey, I can trust this guy&quot;? Of course, yet it slides, as do those who, as you mentioned, abuse ebay&#039;s protection policies, but it&#039;s all part of the CT hypocrisy; it&#039;s always the other guy who is the problem. With that said, and if I may be so bold as to ask, what exactly are you trying to say by injecting this into the conversation?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
