<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 3007262, member: 36230&quot;]The OP has shown himself to be both a thoughtful and reasonable individual, so I want to be clear that the below is not directed at him.</p><p><br /></p><p>From a buyer&#039;s perspective, opening sealed flips may seem perfectly reasonable, and is why this must be looked at from a seller&#039;s POV. The policy of opening the flip/holder voiding return privileges isn&#039;t new, and the entire purpose was in a small way to help protect against the many unscrupulous &quot;collectors&quot; out there. Aside from the obvious games that can stem from allowing unknown buyers to remove coins, just think of the near countless ways coins can be damaged, accidentally, intentionally, or through ignorance. Why should a seller have to shoulder <i>full</i> responsibility for a coin in someone else&#039;s possession?</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone who has been so unfortunate to be on the receiving end of the even the more innocuous games buyers play should well understand why it&#039;s a perfectly fair and intelligent policy. There is also a very easy way around it: just ask. Respectful discourse is generally a good thing, and is much more likely to help result in favorable outcomes for all involved.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a general rule though, I firmly believe an opened flip should automatically nullify any and all reasons for return other than authenticity, and is particularly true for in-person transactions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
