<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 25938707, member: 4626"]I have only ever bought one thankfully, strangely one that would only have been worth the $15 I paid for it, were it real (always wondered why someone would bother to fake it, unless it was practice before they moved on to fake more valuable coins). Coveat emptor and all that. I wish eBay would have better enforcement policies and procedures, but what are you going to do. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund (by the time I found out it was fake it was long past the point I could demand a refund, and refunds were a lot harder to get back then. It was actually ANACS that figured out it was fake, when I submitted it for grading.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I wouldn't worry about the hobby dying though. It's been around almost as long as coins and it isn't going anywhere soon. As long as coins exist, someone will want to collect them. Besides if there's less people in the hobby, that just means demand for coins will go down, and they'll be cheaper to buy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
