Message:: [QUOTE="Midas, post: 132958, member: 2761"]As I read through the posts (after 1,000 views), you can tell this subject hits a nerve with a bunch of people, including yours truly. Nobody likes to be cheated.  On the same side, us fellow numismatics who are passionate about our coins don't like to sit on the sidelines and watch other collectors get taken by these sellers.  I surely don't and I am not afraid to call a "duck a duck"...actually, that is an insult to ducks! At the F.U.N. show in Florida, I approached eBay's table and told them they should be ashamed of themselves and was politely asked to leave.  Their contention was that, "it is a free market and we can't monitor every sale". I replied, "B.S., especially when numbers of collectors contact you with SPECIFIC auctions and listings!" Still, I think they were looking for security after I made my point.  The point I am making here is that power comes in numbers.  If I succeeded in alerting 10 people not to waste their money on these "70" plastic housings...great!  Hopefully, they will tell 10 people who will tell 10 people and so forth. I would encourage the forum to pass the word because waiting for eBay or the ANA to do something is NOT going to happen!  Again, I want to thank all for their efforts. Pass the word...[/QUOTE]
