Message:: [QUOTE="Blissskr, post: 2803834, member: 34882"]Unfortunately as you've found out this hobby is full of crooks. They'll smile while taking your money and then laugh all the way to the bank when the transaction is done. Or they'll offer people a tiny fraction of what their coins are worth while keeping a straight face then once again laugh once the customer is gone at 'their score'. The one thing that is common in the stories of people getting taken though is ignorance on the part of the buyer/seller. These types of dealers hope for that level of consumer ignorance as it makes what they do that much easier. Really though in your situation there's nothing you can do except ask to return the coins for a refund. And as you've obviously experienced thus far crooks generally don't oblige requests to return/refund. The coins they sold you are real they just aren't worth anywhere near the valuation that was likely claimed in marketing them to you. If you don't know what you're doing it's best to stick with dealers with a good reputation. You may pay a little more with them than you could find things elsewhere to do so. But you'll be sure you're getting the coins they say you are and many reputable dealers will buy back coins they've sold you later on if you have to sell. You still may lose a little when considering their margins but you'd likely still come out much better than the situation you've experienced.[/QUOTE]
