<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2306941, member: 19463"]A problem as I see it is that a fake coin on eBay is most likely going to sell to a person who will not realize it or be suspicious of why other people did not outbid him. A seller who does or does not know the coin was fake has more to gain by refunding the money and acting surprised when challenged. Few of us will go after a fake seller with a vengeance when they refunded our money and let us keep the coin. I feel like part of the problem here since the last fake I bought and received refund while being allowed to keep the coin was just put aside but not cataloged so I can't tell you who sold it. Have I bought from that seller again? I do not know. I lost $11 on a fake from a major dealer who joked later that the fake was worth that much. When he went out of the coin business, I celebrated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
