<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Travlntiques, post: 2489088, member: 39129&quot;]I can honestly say I&#039;ve never bought anything back, but I have seen my coins getting resold a couple times. One was just a common AU Barber Dime with a few hints of toning.....it was one of my earlier sales and sometimes I would have time to check-up on my buyers to see what they were selling too. I remember buying the coin as an XF with bad photos for $11 or so, sold it as an AU with better photos for $35, which the new owner promptly resold as a BU for $55. Each middle man left a little meat on the bone, and the first guy was ....well, didn&#039;t do so well. ;-)</p><p><br /></p><p>Another one was pretty hilarious. I bought 2 MS-70 PCGS Mercanti Label ASE&#039;s with crazy rainbow toning. On both coins the &quot;Mercanti&quot; signature had faded to oblivion, which lets you know how they were so heavily toned, and I was very clear in my description about that. Paid $90 each on them. Sold 1 for $325, the other was less attractive and only brought $99 (lost a few bucks on it after fees), but #1 made up for it. As soon as the cheap one was listed I received a message from another eBayer saying he was laughing because he had seen it before, was a bidder several months earlier and congrats on the better photos. It sold....a few more months pass and I see a coin with similar toning sell for $90-ish....but it&#039;s in a new holder? Sure enough, I check my old photos and it is a MATCH! The buyer thought he could flip it by re-holdering the coin, only to take a bath on it. The Post Office, PCGS &amp; eBay did very well with it though![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
