<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gao, post: 1008048, member: 19409&quot;]How about selling mistakes as well?&nbsp; I once really lucked out on a coin due to the seller not really knowing what he was doing.&nbsp; He listed a double sestertius of Postumus (a Roman coin from the mid 3rd century), but the only picture he has was really zoomed out and you could barely make out what it was.&nbsp; He also called it an &quot;ancient Christian artifact&quot; in the title despite the fact that this coin had absolutely nothing to do with Christianity, and his description was pretty bare.&nbsp; In addition to this, his feedback was 0, and this is a rare enough coin that you want to know that the guy you buy it from hasn&#039;t sold any fakes.&nbsp; These things are all red flags for fake coins, but I figured that I might be willing to chance $10 on it, and I asked the guy if he could email me better pics.&nbsp; He did, and it turns out that he just had no idea how to crop an image, and Ebay just shrank down his gigantic photo.&nbsp; The coin looked very real, and I managed to snatch it for $10.50.&nbsp; The guy later revealed to me that he&#039;d payed $90 for it (or something like that) and was considering not sending it, though I did end up getting it.</p><p><br /></p><p>So when selling, make sure your picture is clear, your description accurate, and that you don&#039;t put odd phrases like &quot;ancient Christian artifact&quot; that make it look like you don&#039;t know what you have.&nbsp; In addition, if you have no feedback, try to build some up with less valuable items before you try to sell something expensive, or you may be in for a large loss.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
