<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1586162, member: 36230&quot;]Hypocritical? No its not, and welcome to&nbsp; the real world. Do you understand the concept of cherrypicking? Be it&nbsp; varieties, under graded coins, mislabeled coins, whatever, it is part of&nbsp; the game so anyone wishing to play dealer (or ebay coin seller) needs&nbsp; to accept this reality. Let me give you an example: some months back I&nbsp; stopped at a local B&amp;M while killing time and noticed a 1945-P 5C&nbsp; TDR in a low value miscellaneous book. The coin was in a flip labeled by&nbsp; the man&#039;s long-deceased father, and surely had been looked at by&nbsp; hundreds of customers over the years. I ended up paying $5 for a coin&nbsp; that is worth substantially more, but&nbsp; I guess I should have pointed out his (and everyone else&#039;s) oversight&nbsp; or lack of knowledge instead of using my experience for my benefit,&nbsp; right? Nonsense. When a coin is offered in a retail or auction setting,&nbsp; picking is fair game and it is as simple as that.</p><p><br /></p><p>The OP&#039;s coin was offered in a seven day auction, so&nbsp; it was not like this was a BIN with an obviously wrong buy price listed and was&nbsp; snapped up before the mistake was noticed. Also, and as for taking&nbsp; advantage of a listing error, IMO there is a big difference&nbsp; between someone&nbsp; who obvious does not handle coins and someone (such as&nbsp; the OP) who&nbsp; offers only coins. I would not take advantage of anyone ill informed who came to me to sell, but when someone is playing dealer, it is a whole different ballgame. Maybe you should put a little more thought into this before making such assumptions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
