<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bob Keller, post: 21142, member: 908&quot;]After I got burned --</p><p>1.&nbsp; I ask each seller whether the raw coin has been cleaned, polished or toned.</p><p>2.&nbsp; If seller does not respond - I don&#039;t bid.</p><p>3.&nbsp; If seller indicates that he/she doesn&#039;t know, I ask what is the refund policy if the raw coin has been cleaned, polished or toned.</p><p>4.&nbsp; If the coin is expensive I just ask the seller if he/she is willing to use Escrow.com for payment protection.&nbsp; If no answer or a negative respond-forget that seller.&nbsp; Escrow.com has already save me from one liar.</p><p>5.&nbsp; Ebay has a &quot;Code of Conduct for Selling Coins&quot; and one of the sections deals with false or misleading information about the perceived condition of the coin.&nbsp; Of course, that in itself doesn&#039;t hold much water but it did when I bought the Dealer&#039;s hype MS-65 and PCGS said it was a AU-58. Dealer was honest enough to refund difference -- after some discussion about the &quot;Code.&quot;</p><p>6.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think that we&#039;ll ever get rid of the seller&#039;s hype.&nbsp; I just ask the seller if the coin doesn&#039;t grade MS-63 by PCGS as indicated in the listing can it be returned for a refund.&nbsp; I find that about one out of five sellers respond positively.&nbsp; The rest go on my S___list. And, that list is getting larger.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What do they say -- &quot;If it sounds to be too good to be true_________.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Good Shopping CHRIS!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Bob[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
