<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 1399169, member: 33176"]Yes, I know I mis-spelled mistake. With all the postings about e-bay, I thought I would share this. I logged onto e-bay and started a search on "silver bullion". The auction ending soonest was for what appeared to be a 1 oz silver bar. It was going for around $5, so I thought people must be asleep, I can get a great deal! I entered a bid quickly and won the item. Upon closer examination I saw that it was a silver plated copper bar!!! Oh well, I was stupid and have to suffer the consequences. Then I looked at the seller's 99.6% positive ratings. The negative ones were almost invariably about "Hey, this isn't silver" which gained a reply of "Read the auction details more closely". I also noted how there were many positive ones that just said things like "Wow, what a nice bar". Here is what I decided to do: 1) I paid for the item - I bought it, it is my responsibility 2) I sent an e-mail to the seller explaining that I goofed up and would be responsible for the mistake, but I would appreciate it if he would cancel the sale. He canceled the sale and saved me a few bucks and lots of bad feelings. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just posting this to help out anyone who might do such a bone-headed thing in a hurry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
