[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1337778, member: 112"]I think you miss my point. When I was still collecting I would search for hours, daily, for coins that I might be interested in, or coins that I thought I could sell for a profit. And if I found one that I thought was under-graded or a variety that I wanted, then I would buy that coin. However, all of my purchases were based on pictures and/or written descriptions. And buying coins based on pictures and written descriptions is buying coins [U]sight unseen[/U]. And when you buy coins sight unseen, you have a right to return that coin if it does not meet or live up to your expectations once you get to see it in hand. So when I would receive that coin that I thought might be under-graded or a variety and could examine it in hand, if I found that it was not what I thought it might be, then I had the right to return that coin. That is what a return privilege is all about. That is not scamming or unethical. That is standard industry practice. And every reputable and respectable dealer there is lives by that practice. And you should never buy a coin from anybody that does not live by that practice. Now just because this guy is using somebody else with more experience to look the coins he buys and add their opinion, that does not mean that his return privilege just goes away. It only means he's smart enough to do that. I'm sorry, but that is not unethical at all. And no dealer that I know of would find that unethical. You are of course free to disagree.[/QUOTE]
