<p>[QUOTE="NPCoin, post: 200748, member: 5629"]I buy lots once in a while for the fun of just going through someone else's junk (one man's junk is another man's treasure). But, I will always look at how truthful the seller seems about his lots. If a seller seems to be untruthful in his description or even puts restrictions that are illogical, then I stay away from the lot. I just noticed this thread today and took a look at the description and noticed that he restricts you to <b>ONLY</b> 15 lots. So, even at 30 lots available, that's only 50%, which leaves you in the red for <b>any</b> real chance at getting anything of value: Morgans, Peace, gold, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, in my opinion, this seller is being dishonest, as I have even recently sold and shipped a 45lb. lot of coins from Wyoming to Texas, and I had absolutely no problems with the packaging and shipping. Yet, this seller seems to have a problem with more than 15 1/2lb lots shipping together? There is no logic in that. The only <i>problem</i> I can see in selling more than 15 lots per buyer is the fact that he would be caught not having the number of Morgans, Peace, and gold that he claims to have in the lots. Thus, you cannot purchase <b>every</b> lot available and get every coin that he is claiming to have in these lots.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only reason I can think of why he would not allow someone to purchase every lot is because the claims he makes in his auction may be false and the "valuable" coins he claims are in the lots do not exist.
