<p>[QUOTE="mynamespat, post: 2828056, member: 83738"]I got truly curious one day about a seller with 90% of listings stated "estate find" So i spent about a week hunting thru listings for a few coins in my wheelhouse. I won't name the seller, but they are located in Texas... I found three varieties (all unlabeled in tpgs) of nominal interest and bought them a la "buy it now". Of the three, he swapped out the most well known (a '55 Franklin) for a plain Jane of the same date, different slab. He took the return no questions asked. (.. which would have been hard to dispute unless I somehow magically purchased a coin he had listed elsewhere.. but I digress) </p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate, when making a purchase on ebay you also become privy to more private information of the seller.
