Message:: [QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1889153, member: 36230"]First of all, and no matter how you may wish to spin it, I am not complaining but pointing out fact. Now, is providing an "accurate" photo while intentionally avoiding any mention of a known problem with the hopes someone will overlook wrong? Is hiding behind "subjectivity" and "opinion"as an excuse a respectable and honest business practice? There are countless examples of questionable to less-than-honorable selling tactics regularly used and we could sit here all night discussing them. A coin is what it is no matter what so-called "plausible reasons" one may come up with as a way to justify such tactics. Just because someone may not have a shop or know of worthwhile dealer close by or "whatever reason" does not mean that all should rightly be fair on the bay. Even though someone who blindly buys has only themselves to blame, this does not make going out of one’s way to target such suckers okay. There is little worse than a budding collector later learning that someone likely took advantage of their novice in order to make a buck, and those willing to do just that represent the Candiru of this hobby. With all due respect, unless you somehow misunderstood my point, I cannot help to see much of the above nothing more than excuses. Considering that you speak of "being honest" in the first sentence of your post, I can only assume that you have indeed misunderstood.[/QUOTE]
