<p>[QUOTE="Steve E, post: 69615, member: 2147"]I'm mad at the seller but I'm mostly mad at myself! I have been trying to get a pristine WWII commem proof set for some time and I finally got one on ebay. Whenever I bid on a set of any kind I ALWAYS ask to make sure everything is there. I did ask if the set was pristine but for some strange reason I never asked if all packaging was included. The seller was a little tricky and made the lot appear in his photo that all boxes were present so I guess I looked at the photos and fell for it as he was hoping. When I received the set, yes the coins were indeed pristine but to my disgust the box that holds the velvet case was missing. The velvet case was just sliding around inside the outer sleeve. I emailed the seller to see if he had accidently shipped the set and forgot the box and he replied that there never was an inner box. Now, I know it was my fault, I never asked to confirm that all packaging was there but I just wish sellers would be more honest and state in their listings when a set is not complete. I guess the moral of the story is, you can never ask a seller enough questions and make sure you know exactly what you are buying. Now I have to try and somehow find the missing box to protect the coins and case. With all the slabbed WWII commem proofs I see listed, there should be a lot of empty boxes laying around. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
