<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 2423351, member: 20480&quot;]I think several tips can save you lots of heartache, if not money too:</p><ul> <li>Avoid sellers with less than 99% positive feedback (generally, pains in the neck to deal with)</li> <li>Avoid coins listed with blurry photos, or request that better photos be posted<br /> </li> <li>Avoid sellers using an entirely different background for most every coin being offered (almost certainly &quot;borrowed&quot; photos)</li> <li>Avoid &quot;Chance&quot; lots (rolls, bags or chests of unsearched coins were probably not searched by the eBay seller, but bought in very large lots at steep discounts from other wholesalers who had already scraped off the good coins)<br /> </li> <li>View skeptically those sellers of expensive items, having little or no feedback for the past year (likely long dormant accounts that have recently been hijacked)</li> <li>Try to avoid coins without a return privilege (every coin is different, and even the best photos cannot reveal all detail)</li> <li>If you want to buy a coin listed without a return privilege, try to convince the seller to add one (In my experience, whenever a seller refused to offer a return privilege, and I bought the coin anyway, I learned afterward that there was something the seller was hiding)<br /> </li> <li>If it looks too good to be true, it probably is . . .</li> </ul><p>eBay is not the same fertile treasure trove that it once was . . . but for those with great instincts and a tolerance for risk, it still works.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
