[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1338057, member: 112"]You can take anything to the extreme, especially if you are talking hypothetical. Your example for instance, I don't think anybody could even do that. Or would do that, the shipping alone would cost a fortune. What we are talking about in this thread is a guy who picks and chooses individual coins because he thinks they might grade higher than the seller has them described as. The only reason he is even buying the coin is because the picture makes him think that. He doesn't just buy coins at random in other words. Then, when he gets the coin, if his hunch was correct in his and/or his friends opinion he keeps the coin. He only returns those where an in hand inspection proves his opinion based on pictures to have been inaccurate. It's no different than you, or me, or anybody, buying a coin on-line based on the pictures. But when we get the coin we see something that the pictures did not show us, so we return that coin. Everybody is entitled to actually see a coin in hand before they make their decision to keep it or not. That is what return privileges are all about, that's why return privileges exist. Is it a scam or unethical for us to do that ? If your answer is no then it isn't a scam for him to do it either.[/QUOTE]
