[QUOTE="900fine, post: 633390, member: 6036"]There's a difference between "unethical" and "ridiculous". :rolleyes: The difference lies in [I]intent[/I], which I can't discern from the auction (it's been removed). If the seller honestly believes the coin is deserving of the high price, s/he isn't unethical. If the seller intentionally and knowingly listed a misleading high price, that starts to smell like an ethical issue. I think this one is a grey area. Except for one clear issue - [B]avoid this one[/B], and maybe all things by this seller. If this pattern repeated, even after pointing out the facts to the seller, it might suggest an ethics issue. Another indicating factor - what sort of "after the sale" support does the seller give ?[/QUOTE]
