<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2081848, member: 15309&quot;]As far as I know, the seller doesn&#039;t get to choose the reason for blocking a potential E-Bay bidder/buyer.&nbsp; The seller simply adds the name to the list and if the buyer tries to bid on their listing, the buyer gets a message that apparently contains the verbiage &quot;problematic buyer.&quot;&nbsp; Are you a problematic buyer?&nbsp; In the eyes of the gentleman with that listing, you are.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t matter that you think you are great, he has decided based on your previous bids and comments that you are a problem and does not want your business. </p><p><br /></p><p>You have provided us with your side of the story, but you have deliberately omitted all information about what coin it is.&nbsp; I find that strange since the only guy who has one has blocked you from buying his coins, meaning their seems no harm in divulging the information.&nbsp; You did however tell us that this is basically the only example of this coin that you can find over the last 6 months to a year.&nbsp; That begs the question, how old is the data regarding past sales?&nbsp; If your auction archive price is 2 years old, it is perfectly reasonable that price of this coin could be significantly higher than what these coins have sold for in the past.&nbsp; Furthermore, you are definitely dealing with a coin that has a marketplace availability problem.&nbsp; The price guides &amp; archives might support a price of $500, but are you willing to wait 2 years for another shot at the apple?&nbsp; The seller might know this an be counting on it to command a higher price.</p><p><br /></p><p>I routinely go through my listings and block bidders who lowball by listings.&nbsp; I don&#039;t want a guy who offers $100 on a $1500 coin buying anything from me.&nbsp; Furthermore, anyone who sends me comments/questions that are rude or stupid will also get blocked.</p><p><br /></p><p>The last blocked bidder is a guy who decided to inform me that the price guide for a 1944-D Jefferson Nickel MS67 is $75.&nbsp; The coin he was talking about has monster toning and the last sentence in the item description is &quot;Price guides simply don&#039;t apply to monster toned coins of this magnitude.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The fact is that E-Bay sellers get all kinds of nasty, rude, &amp; stupid comments thrown their way.&nbsp; I know it is hard to believe that E-Bay trolls exist, but they do.&nbsp; It becomes very difficult to separate the trolls from legitimate buyers sometimes.&nbsp; And while you may be right about the seller and this whole situation, without all of the relevant information including the coin and the seller&#039;s name, there is no way for us to determine who is right and who is wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That depends!&nbsp; Give us the coin and seller&#039;s name and I will get back to you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
