[QUOTE="al lover, post: 865874, member: 24782"]Sorry, I'm too new to the hobby these days... what is bad about the photos you posted? Thanks, just spent an hour+ reading those. The egregious scammers are irritating but seem to prey on the less-knowledgeable bidder. Amazing about the suing guy. (coinmadz or something?) No, I have a couple coin-related sites and link to eBay coin auctions. Visitors like it but I was curious about the problem for that reason. I hope they are informed enough about coins they want to cast a suspicious eye toward them. I wonder if there are some coins that are 'safer' than others? Personally I'm more interested in world coins than American ones, and wouldn't be buying anything expensive anyway (not into values so much), but it would still be nice to have authentic ones. Though with that approach I guess it doesn't truly matter. Forgeries can be collectible themselves with the right attitude ;) Anyway I am very impressed by the users of this board (and other people) who reported scammers and got eBay to pull their listings. It's like a giant whack-a-mole game, and I know people have been frustrated by eBay, but there is a sliver of hope in the system.[/QUOTE]
