The saame thing happened to me several years ago not with coins but with a Dewalt Drill NIB free shipping winning bid was less than $10 because of the way it was listed. I accidentally found just minutes before the auction ended and was excited to get it for that price. Within minutes of winning the drill I received an email from the seller and Ebay stating the Item was out of stock and the auction was invalid. Less than an hour later the seller had over a dozen more listed properly I contacted Ebay and was told that if an item was out of stock I had no recourse the seller even threaten to report me to ebay for complaining and left me negative feedback as a buyer and I was unable to even leave feedback on the seller because by the time I was through with Ebay the auction had been pulled. Now that is a POWER SELLER.

 

When I sold stuff on fleeceBay I had some items sell at ridiculous prices, one way or the other. In the end it all seemed to even out, which is why I did not fret when stuff sold for a pittance. I sold other items at three times what they were worth to me, because someone or a group of someones really wanted them. Those profits balanced out the losses on other stuff.

Buying stuff, I have bought stuff for a pittance also and the seller not only honoured the sale, but packed the items well, and sent them quickly. I bought a set of Irish banknotes last year from Centurial Collectables and the auction closed at about 20% of catalogue value. They sent the banknotes quickly, securely and gave a quick feedback even though they could have been like the OP's seller. As a result, I have looked at their website and bought quite a bit more stuff from them since then.

So in summary, sellers should honour the sale make someone's day and take a short loss. It all evens out in the end, and unlike the "Don't get mad, get even" types that threaten lawsuits and want to go to the trouble of going to someone's home and shoot up the place because their personal lives are a miserable sort, the rest of us try to get along and treat our fellow people as we expect to be treated.

 

a little push and shove never hurts

my ebay experience as a buyer and seller shows when I have a deadbeat a FEW PHONE CALLS TO THE HOME OR OFFICE SEEMS TO GET THEM TO PAY UP, YOU CAN GOOGLE ALMOST ANYTHING NOW!! also LET THEM KNOW YOU HAVE A BROTHER WHO LIVES NEAR BUY WHOS LOOKING FOR A JOB, YOU WON'T BELIEVE HOW QUICK THEY FOLD. ONLY HAD TO SHOW UP AT SOMEONE HOUSE ONCE, REALLY BRATTY KID WHO WE HAD LONG TALK WITH PARENTS, HE DIDN'T PAY BUT LEARNED HIS LESSON WHEN MESSING WITH THE MOB!! A DEAL IS A DEAL PAY UP DUDE!! DEMAND YOUR NOTE FROM THIS SELLER OR ELSE!!

 

You're a scary guy, Mr. Hillbillyricky... it seems you have the internet version of "road rage"...

 

would this have happened if the auction was in person?

no way, this seller is coward who is hiding behind the internet, they will produce the note when push comes to shove!!

 

Dude, it's just eBay. If it doesn't work out it's best to just get your money back and leave a negative. Showing up at someone's house with threats might have worked with that kid...but in the end it will be a mistake and possibly a big one.

 

oh you so smart dude

ho ho ho

 

Dude has serious issues.

 

My oh my what a senseless bout of rhetoric this has caused.
Has anyone given consideration that this seller was a 3rd party to this note?
Even Heritage has a Bourse section that private sellers list items on Flea-Bay.

While in my own opinion it is the worst possible place for truth, justice and the Greedy American way! It brings a little sadness to my heart to see contention among members, especially when it is such a senseless event.

Knowing of Saor Alba as a person, I will attest to his integrity and virtues, he is a fine human being. Hillbillyricky, you remind me of some of my former "Grunt Friends" (former Marines) who think kill,kill,kill is the only way.

I assure you good sir that events as benign as this are but trivial and not worth the sweat upon your brow. Worry not, many $100 Chicago notes Series 1928 exist, in what condition is yet another story, however, the OP should look for a well respected dealer, one that deals in integrity, honor and truth.

Regards to all and Happy Holidays to everyone.

Negative or Neutral feedback is the sole choice of the OP.

E-bay equals E- _ _ _ _ I will let you fill in the blanks!!

Karma has a way of evening things out.

 

Cool it guys - I don't want to remove ONE more post from this thread. If you can't post without calling names, or bickering, then take a few min, and DON'T post.

I would give the seller a neutral and be done with it. You got your money back. Since you can't prove that she did anything intentional to screw the deal over, you shouldn't give a negative.

 

Thanks for the advice, but I'll pass on your suggestion. :secret:Let me tell you a little secret: In my 53 yrs on this planet, I've had one gun in my face - it was a Remington 870 shotgun. And you know what? I quickly found out that I wasn't nearly as tough as I thought I was.

The best solution at that time (as now) was to fold and just walk away.:whistle:

I admire your bravery though.:bow:
