<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2905592, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;d word it differently; only buy coins from sellers that you know, trust, and respect. This is the only protection that anyone ever really has.</p><p><br /></p><p>I used to say only buy from trusted and respected dealers. But I&#039;ve changed that because there are also some private individuals who are worthy of your trust and respect. And if you only buy from these people then you have nothing to worry about because they will always stand behind what they sell you. Buy a fake, they&#039;ll give you your money back; buy a coin in a fake slab, they&#039;ll give your money back; buy anything that turns out to be bad for any reason and they&#039;ll give you your money back.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Feedback on ebay, or anyplace else, is worse than worthless - for several reasons. Primary among them - how do you know if the person leaving that feedback knows anything at all about what they are talking about ? In other words, if the person leaving the feedback doesn&#039;t know the coin they bought is a fake, grossly over-graded, damaged, harshly cleaned, or whatever - then what can they tell you about anything and how can you possibly believe what they do tell you ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Ten thousand people can leave positive feedback and every single one of them say something along the lines of - it&#039;s a great coin, I&#039;m very happy - but not a one of them realized that the coin they bought was fake, grossly over-graded, damaged, harshly cleaned, or whatever.</p><p><br /></p><p>And if you think that idea is far fetched and could never happen - DON&#039;T !&nbsp; Because it has already happened, several times. The biggest scam artist there ever was on ebay, abon.com, had over 100,000 positive feedbacks - and he was just one of them !</p><p><br /></p><p>The point I&#039;m trying to make folks is that before feedback can have any meaning - the person leaving it has to know what they are talking about ! And the vast, vast, majority of them do not ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
