<p>[QUOTE="iPen, post: 2330608, member: 69760"]Well... I get what you're saying, but technically one is seeing the product true to spirit and form when the seller has "good" photos (generally, eBay and people seem to understand what a good photo is by looking at it). If the photo is poor, very blurry, not of the actual coin, etc., then it's practically the same as not being able to see the coin. Sometimes, a buyer may come across a long awaited rare item that popped up and buy it now right on the spot without even looking at the photos let alone the description or even thinking twice about the price.</p><p><br /></p><p>And it's my understanding that "sight seen" in-person discrepancies would only hold up if it's not as described or as depicted in the photos. Usually if the seller has the most amazing photos, and the buyer claims that, e.g., it's a "toned" coin when the pictures clearly show a toned coin, then the seller wins that claim based primarily on those pictures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
