<p>[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 1536406, member: 27832"]If I win an auction and the item turns out to be significantly not as described, I haven't "lost a gamble", I've been <b>cheated</b>.

If this half-dollar seller had just shown a photo without specifically calling out the 38-D, I wouldn't have bid quite as high, and if I'd won, I wouldn't have groused when I found the slot mis-filled.</p><p><br /></p><p>PM sent.
