<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 946925, member: 112"]Alright guys let's not get too far off topic here. Yes, it's a crime to sell a fake watch. Getting something done about it is another matter entirely though. If you call the cops they'll tell you it's a civil matter and to call a lawyer. But that's not the point. I merely used it an example as to who is to blame. And I'll never change my mind that if you are stupid enough to buy a watch off a guy on the street then you deserve what you get - it's your own fault.</p><p><br /></p><p>But to the point - a dealer selling a coin as BU, only to have a TPG say the coin is AU - is not a crime. There is absolutely nothing illegal about it. Sure you can try and sue them for it, but good luck collecting even 1 cent. And better luck with paying your lawyer because that's gonna cost ya more than the coin did.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will say it again - if you don't know what you are doing when buying raw coins, then you have no business doing it. And if you get taken, it's your own fault for doing it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
