[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1310740, member: 112"]Simply put, it's because they sell to idiots. People who know absolutely nothing about coins. I don't even know if he's still on ebay, probably is, but the guy who owned and operated SGS had the best ebay rating there was. Thousands upon thousands upon thousands of positive feedback ratings. And there were many, many more ebay sellers just like him. Positive feedback on ebay is just like a post here on this forum. Unless you know the person making that post and have good reason to trust and respect what he has to say - should you pay attention to it ? How do you know he knows what he's talking about ? It's the same thing with feedback. Do you know any of those people leaving that feedback ? No, you don't. So how do you know [U]they[/U] know what they are talking about ? It's like walking up to a total stranger on the street and asking - hey, is this guy a good one to buy coins from ? Would you trust what the stranger had to say ? That's why feedback is worthless. Worse than worthless even, it is downright harmful because it is so very, very, misleading.[/QUOTE]
