[QUOTE="sunshineium, post: 1211080, member: 31150"]I bought a series of teen pennies from a seller on ebay. A couple of them looked nicer then what I have in my collection, so I figured for $2, why not? Being a good buyer (or so I thought), I saw they had 100% positive feedback, were a 'powerseller', and had lots of other pennies listed with people bidding on them. I got my pennies today. They were TAPED to paper. I went back and looked at the auction, knowing that I didn't bid on coins taped to paper. Upon looking closer at the feedback, there were more than 20 people in the 12 month+ range that gave this person NEUTRAL feedback who said theit coins were taped as well. Shame on me for not going in and reading feedback I guess. That being said, ebay won't let me leave neutral or negative feedback yet and I don't see the point in returning them, I would still end up in the hole by having to pay return shipping. So, two questions: 1. Will acetone take the tape residue off? (And please don't turn this into a cleaning/conserving thread - no one wants a coin with packing tape wrapped around it or packing tape goo all over it!) 2. Am I justified in leaving this seller negative feedback? Why in the wouldn't other people leave the seller negative feedback for taped coins?? Ugh!!![/QUOTE]
