<p>[QUOTE="Prophet, post: 281295, member: 9127"]I think that if I were about to spend a good bit o' dollars on a single coin I would ask questions too, and find out as much as possible before even hitting the "bid" button. Lets just face it; internet buying/selling is risky, and people get cheated all the time. Its not anything personal against the seller himself. If I were a seller and was selling authentic stuff, I would not mind people questioning my honesty or my products, because I know that every other seller on ebay is getting his/her stuff questioned too. The buyer is simply being careful, and I would expect him/her to be. Also, I know that I am selling authentic stuff, right?
