<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 761845, member: 13650"]Same here. If you can't take the time to re-read an auction for basic spelling errors, it's pretty sad. It just looks sloppy.

I have more time than most and I still don't have enough time to adequately search through all the junk. I've only been browsing there for less than two years for coins. My view from where I started to now has changed drastically, to say the least. If you do manage to find something half way decent, it gets bid up well past what it's worth, most of the time. On very, very, very rare occasions, a good quality deal comes along only because other people miss it. The term "deal" is thrown around here way too much when it comes to ebay, IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
