<p>[QUOTE="TCBBK, post: 243663, member: 8810"]I'm new around here, but I do know eBay very well. I don't know how to post this without it seeming as if I intend offense, (which I do not) so I guess I'll just say it. I think the pics posted in the auction were intended to create the exact bidding response as it occurred. We all know that issue probably has the most PL/DMPL examples of any other Morgan. I have 4 or 5 myself. The final value of that coin is higher than it might (should) be due solely to the pics, which in my opinion was clearly the intent. Now, I'm not saying you don't have the right to post pics that show your coin in the best light, and to illicit the most bids...but I have to say that would feel the same way as the OP if I had bid on that auction and received the coin now shown much more clearly in the pics posted to this thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you didn't intend to slightly deceive with those pics...then why didn't you also include the pics that you posted here? They show the coin's flaws much better. It brings up some ethical issues, as to what you're obligated to post, and what you aren't...but I cannot agree with previous posters that the coin shows mirrors in both sets of pics.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't know either poster, as some do here...so I'm not letting friendship or previous interaction potentially cloud my judgment. </p><p><br /></p><p>That being said...the e-mail the OP sent is completely out of line.

I'm not perfect, and certainly can't say exactly how I would handle it...other than I know I’d be mad...but $160+ is a lot of money, and the OP overreacted.</p><p><br /></p><p>My other thought is...why is your feedback so low? You obviously know a lot about selling on eBay...so, what happened to your other account? I might not be entitled to those answers, which I can certainly understand...but my cynical mind wonders if you had similar problems with your previous account.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm definitely not trying to start a flame war and I know you may be angry with my opinion.
