<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 282835, member: 6370&quot;]without doubt you need to be the one watching out for yourself there, no one at ebay is looking out for you. I wonder how many people who got scammed did so because they were not careful or didnt know what they were doing yet. Not to say its in any way their fault, just that one needs to know what they are doing because its a fact there are people who are looking to rip you off....like the guy selling old zapped ancient roman copper cheapies as gold. If it looks fishy, too good to be true... I just wont bid, rather pass up a good deal than get ripped. I might get advice from people in the know if I want it bad enough.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just real quick I will mention the only things bad that have happened to me:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. Guy selling Indian Annas...I buy one, the one in his listing isnt the one I received...I write him telling him I want one just like the one pictured...he sends another that is. Never use him again but got what I paid for plus a lesser quality Anna.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2. Bid on a coin, later think it is fake. I do not confront him on it being fake but instead tell him my financial situation has changed and I wish to back out of the bid. He allows it...possible problem solved.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3. Had never bought uncleaned before. Bought some and got them and there weren&#039;t many good ones in my opinion. So I say this to the seller and he sends more that were better. I then later find out that compared to many ucleaned sellers, the guy was well above average...felt bad <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>4. Way over paid for a few items either because I didnt know the worth of the item or just wanted it bad, allowed myself to over pay...or I didnt read shipping and realized I was paying 6 dollars for a coin I could get cheaper elsewhere with far less shipping. But these were my fault.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/stadtduren.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When I saw this coin I was slobbering for it. I looked around for more examples and most I found at the time were in far worse shape for far less than what I ended up paying. Not knowing much about notgeld I paid well over what I eventually found similar quality coins for sale elsewhere...just didnt know the right places to go. I STILL maintain that this coin, in this condition is still not that terribly easy to come by cheap but have found it for sale for far less than what I paid....not broken up though as it is an outstanding coin and estimated book values dont often reflect the market..Still havent found what I think is an equal quality pilot version of this coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In fact I think the only time I was ever truly taken was when I bought a coin in person in Rome. I was still very new, saw a Domitian sestersius and bought it, find later that it is, without doubt, a fake and I should have known it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
