[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1642630, member: 112"]Polish - Sellers in Europe are little different from those in the US, there are good ones and there are bad ones. But, if you are in the US and buying from sellers in Europe there is an additional disadvantage & risk. That being that if something goes bad or you don't like the coin you get, then you have little to no recourse at all against somebody in another country. Bottom line the strategy is simple, rule #1 - don't buy from anybody, anywhere, that you don't know and trust. Unless that seller is recommended to you by somebody who you do know and trust. Now you don't know me from Adam, you probably don't know anybody on this forum. So you'd have no reason to trust any of us. And quite honestly, you'd ought to think about that. I will say this, if Christian (chrisild) told me that I could trust a particular seller, then that would be good enough for me. But then I have known Christian for over 10 years now. I guess what I am trying to say is that you are in kind of a predicament here. You're asking for advice on sellers, and that's smart. But you need to be careful about whose advice you listen to. Never forget rule #1.[/QUOTE]
