[QUOTE="TheNickelGuy, post: 1614420, member: 20201"]Me, I would have put the seller in my favorite sellers because you may have found a less than knowledgeable seller when it comes to coins and you may have a shot at getting a real bargain and yes I would have left a positive feedback if the service was fast and shipping was reasonable, if the coin is up to snuff and came clean with the acetone and distilled water cleaning. I would ask next time, that he at least wraps the coins individually in enough paper to protect the coins from moving and getting damaged in the future and tape the outside makeshift envelopes shut. This guy might list something down the road that would be a real bargain that is incorrectly identified, has poor images or in the wrong category. IMO there's nothing wrong with getting a bargain since YOU earned the knowledge studying numismatics and did the searching, and the advantage is yours when buying since you did the work and paid your dues learning about coins. If somebody sells coins cheap, it is not dishonest to not educate them so they will do better in their sales. [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]On the other hand, I am not saying that you should take advantage of an 85 year old grandma and rob her blind but if somebody can list an item on eBay, they can do their homework and educate themselves about what it is and how to sell it.[/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE]
