<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1586360, member: 36230&quot;]Above is your original post (one you later deleted for what are likely obvious reasons), so please do not play the innocent “new” victim here.</p><p>&nbsp; &quot;Grossly taking advantage&quot; how? Until called out, you admitted that you would have lied and sent the wrong coin. I hate to break it to you, but this is not taking the high road. The coin was offered in a seven day auction and no one put a gun to your head, so stop acting as if it would have been the buyer cheating and taking advantage you. Is it really that difficult to check your coins for a mintmark <i>[FONT=&amp;amp]before[/FONT]</i> offering them for sale? Also, I never said anything about what they buyer should have done had this coin actually been an S. The only thing I questioned was the way you initially planned on handling the situation (the post you later deleted). What I would do in this situation does not really matter, but for what it is worth, I would not have expected you to follow through had you been honest. However, had you instead followed through with lying and/or sending a different coin, this may have changed. Regardless, the point is that you need to be responsible for your actions, mistakes, etc instead of claiming to be new and acting as if this gives you some sort of responsibility pass. Why do you think the one gentleman asked for your seller ID? Backing out of a sale by giving excuses and/or lying is unacceptable and most will not want to deal with someone who thinks this type of behavior okay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most with any experience selling coins can tell stories of a time when they ate a loss in order to do the right thing. It is part of the business and is an excellent way of learning not to make the same mistake again. Had you initially said what you later did in post #15, this would not be an issue. The better person will admit to and/or pay for their mistakes instead of trying to position themselves as a victim.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Umm.. you already did, but I digress. </p><p><br /></p><p>Please&nbsp; refresh my memory because I cannot recall ever saying that $3 for a&nbsp; stamp was okay. Seriously, please show me where I said this and unless&nbsp; taken out of context, I will happily apologize. Actually, the only&nbsp; discussion with you that I do recall was over your insistence that a&nbsp; damaged, low end LS quarter was something special. Even though&nbsp; experienced opinions were given by a few members, you ranted on and on&nbsp; demanding that we show you an identical junk quarter at melt. You&#039;re right... it is none of my business and I could not care less what you do, but when you ask for opinions, there is no reason to become upset when you get exactly what you asked for.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Why start threads then? The last I checked this was a discussion forum and not a support group.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
