<p>[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 370912, member: 12965"]My latest counterfeit was from such a dealer so that isn't absolute. Even the so called good ones (high feedback rate/good return policy) can manage to have those stats by keeping the buyers from ever reporting them or leaving negative feedback or coning you into getting second and third opinions until the time has lapsed for returning the item. All of this has been discussed in other threads on here so the only item left is education and that's the only true safeguard but with so many coins, it takes a while to learn what to look for and to have to wait to learn before buying, restricts my collecting. So I will keep collecting and try to educate myself as I go and when I get another counterfeit, that will fit right into my educational plans. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Ps: Another thing is, you and I are probably different in our collecting ways.
