<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 315743, member: 11521&quot;]Recently I was high bidder on a cheap coin on eBay. The reason I bought it is the coin is a semi-scarce (not rare) variety listed in the Cherrypicker&#039;s Guide. The coin is in AG to G condition and would be worth $12 to $15 to a variety collector. I outbid the only other bidder and got the coin for $1.50. Shipping was about double what the coin cost but I was pleased with my purchase. That is I was pleased until I received the coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The coin I received is not the coin shown in the auction photos. That coin is from a completely different die than the one I received. Naturally, the coin I received is the common variety and worth about what I paid for it (not counting the shipping). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I e-mailed the seller and told him that I did not receive the coin depicted in the auction and pointed out the difference in dies. I asked him to exchange the coin he shipped me for the one shown in the auction photos or refund my money. I e-mailed him tonight so I haven&#039;t gotten a response yet. I don&#039;t know if he will be a man of honor or if he will try to cause me grief. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I don&#039;t like this kind of deception but I don&#039;t want to get in a pi$$ing match over less than $5 or risk getting my first negative feedback by giving him a negative if he refuses to send me the coin I bought. How would you handle this situation?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
