[QUOTE="sylvester, post: 33328, member: 708"]Well it truly is the buyers fault there for not knowing better really. On high floating coins like this it's not so much of an issue cos people should know better. But on the medium level and down it might be not as easy to spot a suspect auction. Especially when you get those that nick the pictures from a real dealer's website. The amount of negs don't always tell you everything. Some con men actually do some genuine auctions for a month or two, or sometimes a little longer, build up the good feedbacks on cheaper stuff, and then when they list the dearer stuff they take the cash and run. No this is not an exaggeration, i've had this happen to me when i was diddled out of about $40, some had it worse... the guy had had decent feedback, about 97/98% and then suddenly he turned around, took everyone's cash and ran off with it.
