<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WriterIN, post: 1428701, member: 35620&quot;]I posted a winning bid on a &quot;1921-D ANACS Graded AU50 VAM-1L&quot; coin on eBay ($29.99+shipping). What I got in the mail was a &quot;1921-D VAM-1L DETAILS CLEANED AU50&quot;. I was furious. Contacted the seller, was told in essence &quot;too bad, so sad&quot;. In successive e-mails he told me I was &quot;stupid&quot;, &quot;an *******&quot; and a &quot;nut job&quot; never once acknowledging he&#039;s done anything wrong. So I opened a case with eBay, who immediately refunded my money. I&#039;m still trying to decide whether to contact the Georgia Governor&#039;s Office of Consumer Protetction about this guy. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m really of two minds. On the one hand he clearly left out important information about the coin. The &quot;DETAILS CLEANED&quot; information is smack in the middle of the full grade, so he didn&#039;t accidentally leave it out. On the other hand he has a good feedback score on Ebay, with no mention of any issues like this before. Of course he&#039;s sold very few coins, he seems to be mostly a junk dealer. I am obvoiusly irate over my treatment and want to land on him with both feet and an anvil, so a rational decision is not possible at this junction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the initial e-mail exchange. It only gets worse from there.</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="2"><b>Dear [Redacted],</b></font></p><p><font size="2"><b><br /></b></font></p><p><font size="2"><b></b>Boy, am I ****ed off at you. You didn&#039;t put a picture up of the coin so I had to take what you said in the decription as fact. What you said in the description was correct, but missing the all important &quot;DETAILS CLEANED&quot;. You saw fit to skip right over that and note the Variety.</font></p><p><font size="2"><br /></font></p><p><font size="2">If I had known that I would NEVER have bid on that coin. If you&#039;re going to quote an ANACS grade, you have to quote the COMPLETE grade. Failing to disclose a salient fact is dishonest and illegal. </font></p><p><font size="2"><br /></font></p><p><font size="2">You need to resolve this, and you need to resolve it in my favor, before I report you to eBay, The Georgia State Prosecutor&#039;s Office and the Postal Service&#039;s Mail Fraud unit.</font></p><p><font size="2"><br /></font></p><p><font size="2">&quot;In my favor&quot; means that you take the coin back and refund shipping BOTH ways along with a letter of apology. If I lose a single penny on this puchase I will be extraordinarily displeased and in the least hesitant to let everyone I can think of know it.</font></p><p><font size="2"><br /></font></p><p><font size="2">Sincerely,</font></p><p><br /></p><p><b>[Redacted]</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>and the response:</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><font size="2">Dear [Redacted]</font></b></p><p><b><font size="2"></font></b><font size="2"></font></p><p><font size="2">I cant help stupid.. If you had any question you should have asked.. What Grade did you think you were getting???. I usually have no problem refunding both product + shipping but in your case you I will stick to stated policy.. Return the coin for refund YOU PAY SHIPPING</font></p><p><font size="2"></font><span style="color: #000"><font face="arial"><b>[Redacted]</b></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000"><font face="arial"><b><br /></b></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000"><font face="arial"><b>So what would you do if something like this happened to you?</b></font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
