<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Endeavor, post: 1985673, member: 60292&quot;]Sometimes you come across a listing (or listings) that have an error in them. The error could be misleading to the sellers benefit. However it&#039;s not quite clear whether the error is intentional or not. I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread on this topic. This way we can learn what to look for in order to prevent us from making a mistake. It would also call out the seller to correct the mistake, and if not, risk their reputation and being blocked or banned.</p><p><br /></p><p>Okay so here&#039;s my first one...</p><p><br /></p><p>Seller has multiple proof Eisenhower dollars listed for sale. The years vary, but in item specifics each one is marked &quot;1973&quot;. The significance of this is that 1973&#039;s clearly sell for more money. Since year in item specifics is incorrectly marked 1973, search results for 1973 include the seller&#039;s listings of non-1973 coins (1971, 1972, 1974, etc). The title description and photos are correct, so it&#039;s possible they are using a template and forgetting to change the year in specifics (although most conveniently the priciest one).</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Ike" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Ike" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Ike</a> Dollar&amp;_in_kw=1&amp;_ex_kw=&amp;_sacat=0&amp;_udlo=&amp;_udhi=&amp;_ftrt=901&amp;_ftrv=1&amp;_sabdlo=&amp;_sabdhi=&amp;_samilow=&amp;_samihi=&amp;_sadis=15&amp;_stpos=&amp;_sargn=-1&amp;saslc=1&amp;_salic=1&amp;_sanli=1&amp;_fss=1&amp;_fsradio=&amp;LH_SpecificSeller=1&amp;_saslop=1&amp;_sasl=tuckermooney2010&amp;_sop=15&amp;_dmd=1&amp;_ipg=200</p><p><br /></p><p>So... honest mistake or scam? What&#039;s your opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless, lesson is never assume search results are accurate. I know it sounds simple and obvious, but check all descriptions, specifics and photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you spot one, please post it here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
