<p>[QUOTE=&quot;okbustchaser, post: 2330565, member: 72642&quot;]Pictures--regardless of quality--have absolutely nothing to do with whether a purchase is &quot;sight unseen&quot;.&nbsp; A seller can have the greatest photos in existence but if a buyer must commit to a purchase prior to seeing the coin in person then it is a &quot;sight unseen&quot; purchase.&nbsp; If, on the other hand, one has the ability to physically examine the coin prior to committing to a final purchase then one is purchasing &quot;sight seen&#039; with no photos present at all, let alone bad ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, a Heritage auction specifically states that no returns are allowed.&nbsp; This--if one does not examine the lot prior to bidding--is a sight unseen purchase despite Heritage&#039;s pictures.&nbsp; On the other hand, any Ebay purchase where the buyer has the ability to return if unsatisfied is sight seen since he can personally examine the piece prior to deciding whether or not to keep it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit to add:&nbsp; In answer to the OP&#039;s question, yes I have often purchased sight unseen.&nbsp; My results have been mixed, but usually better than worse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
