[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1391004, member: 75105"]I don't think there is anything with wrong with selling problem coins or cleaned coins without divulging the facts. It's up to the buyers to learn. Very few listings point out flaws on a coin. Some sellers do not even grade. They basically photograph the coin and say "it up to you to grade it". Where the line is crossed however is when sellers lie. Taking an obviously cleaned coin and selling it as uncleaned, or taking a coin with a bunch of nicks and selling it as "gem proof". Although, again, its up to the buyer to be educated, lying is plain wrong, no matter who you do it to. Now I don't have any power on what eBay does, but I don't like "made you look" listings. I want something sweet and to the point. A lot of experienced people (well I wouldn't call myself that), will see that ad, get turned off, and never shop with that seller again. But the straw that broke the camel's back is when they change their ad. So not only do you fall for it once, you fall for it again and again. They photograph things differently and such. It kind of makes you have a hatred for the seller, and just makes them look like a present day carnie at a show.[/QUOTE]
