[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 198898, member: 669"]There are several explanations, and the simplest one is the luck of the draw.. Out of a large group getting coins with a particular one in one-third of the lots, there are going to be a few who beat the odds, just as there will be a few who don't do as well as the odds, so some folks will get their prizes in more than one lot, and others will get no prizes in more than three lots. The big winners will almost always post their testimonials, while the big losers will either post negs, or keep their mouths shut. That skews the feedback to the good side. The question each potential purchaser must answer for him/herself is whether the [u]chance[/u] of getting more than the purchase price back is worth the risk of getting virtually nothing. Just as there are folks who will risk hundreds of dollars on the millions-to-one chance of hitting the lottery, there are folks who will risk their money on this type of junk. I'm not one of them. ;)[/QUOTE]
