<p>[QUOTE="Obone, post: 4598836, member: 79892"]Whats great about this hobby is that you get to meet many new people, and share the love of numismatics all around. Thats one area that I enjoy a lot being a smalltime dealer, being able to handle lots of nice coins. An overwhelming majority of my sales go as planned, with no issues whatsoever. But now let me tell you about this one transaction, and your opinions on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>On facebook, I sold a farthing, for around 20 pounds. (I was hoping to get 50 but thats beside the point lol). Buyer just received coin, and apparently he was hit with a 26 pound custom fee. (Which doesn't even make sense to me, because I've never heard of custom fees being greater than the value itself). He wants me to refund him cost of coin, and hes not even picking up the coin from customs. I told him no way I'm shipping a coin, giving a refund and not even getting the coin back.</p><p><br /></p><p>Would you have done something different.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
