[QUOTE="d_lairson, post: 279373, member: 8441"]I think an important question is... What are we going to do, as a community, about this problem? As a community, do we have the time/resources/willpower to do anything about this? As it stands right now, we (the community) do a pretty decent job of scanning eBay for problems, and in many cases reporting those problems. We have had a pretty decent victory recently with the new eBay rules about TPG's and this shows that we can actually make a difference if we try hard enough. But are we really going to be able to check on all the new slabs that hit eBay? I think they said on the other forum that this is like 1000 NCG slabs a day! And there are reports of other companies out there that have fakes. The final question is, is this really any of our business? This is really a matter between eBay and the seller, and NGC, should we get involved? When you think about the problems we have with SGS and the actions we take against them (him) these could have repercussions on our cointalk community. We say and do alot of things that hamper SGS's business at times. We could potentially be opening ourselves up to a lawsuit, or open Peter up to a lawsuit. As a community do we have the resources to defend ourselves? I don't think that one of these fake slabbers will attack our community legally, but there are other forms of attack. Do we want to deal with this? Personally I think that it is in our best interest to at least try and do something about this. I have no clue what we should do. I am in no way an expert at finding fakes, but I will try. I will spend some of my free time looking at auctions, and questioning those that need it. I just hope that other people in this community feel the same way that I do.[/QUOTE]
