[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2808712, member: 56859"]Despite what the listing says, you do not know what the coin was really sold for because of how the Make Offer listings are displayed when sold. When a seller accepts a lower offer, the listing changes to SOLD but the asking price still remains as the selling price. Here's a random example from the same seller (screen shot from the "sold" search results): [ATTACH=full]656604[/ATTACH] It was his usual schtick: post a tremendously inflated price, mark it 73% off (which is still a tremendously high price), and then entertain offers. Clicking on the coin to see the original listing: [ATTACH=full]656605[/ATTACH] This makes it appear as if the coin sold for his asking price (the "73% off" price), when in reality we do not know the amount he accepted. I have bought a couple of coins from him in the past which had the same BS 73% off/make offer. I made reasonable offers which were accepted and the original listing makes it look like I paid the asking price. eBay games. Yuck.[/QUOTE]
