Message:: [QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2891487, member: 36230"]I have to wholeheartedly agree regarding the holder issue alone. As you stated, it is a longstanding norm, and for very good reason. Anyone who has ever sold a coin, had the buyer screw around with it or simply drop/damage it, and then demand a return will surely understand why. Ideally, buyers should be able to remove a coin from its holder for proper viewing, but as with many things in life, the abuses of a few ruin it for the majority. I also agree regarding the ridiculous return windows pressed by eBay that are also often expected to be followed outside the venue. No honest buyer with a clue should need more than a few days tops. The main thing accomplished by such a window is to promote abuse imo. There's nothing wrong with using a 2x2 after properly imaging the coin outside of it (although with dollars I think it preferable to use a 2.5x2.5 with a larger window size for what should be obvious reasons) but this aside I agree. The "unreturnable" thing? Absolutely... at least as written. If a buyer wishes to submit a coin they're interested in purchasing, and doesn't wish to accept the obvious associated risks of doing so, the onus is on them to speak to the seller beforehand. More often than not, at least with honorable sellers, and as long as buyer expectations are reasonable, it isn't likely to be a great problem.[/QUOTE]
