[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2389697, member: 1892"]I wasn't; I was only referring to the efficiency and capability with which they acted upon my reporting, and I was probably one of the....more enthusiastic reporters of bad auctions. Nothing I ever reported went without action, and I never saw a hint of other than complete efficiency from them. I reported [B]lots[/B] of auctions. Then again, I provided proof of my point with every report. I explained the specific problem, and offered links when necessary. It didn't take an "expert" to determine the accuracy of what I reported. If they do it again - [B]when[/B] they do it again, if I get my way - they need to build it right the first time, with a realistic view of what's possible and necessary. I believe that a sufficiently-efficient system, populated by people who know numismatics, the Ebay system and most importantly how to acquire the information needed for an accurate adjudication, could make enough of a dent in the problem to reduce the number of people willing to test them in the first place. That would reduce the amount of manpower. They just have to accept the idea of paid experts, given incentive via compensation to devote sufficient hours to the task to make it work. And other experts - like Colonial John, for instance - who cold be on-call for email questions. You don't have to cover every_single_coin in expert fashion; there would obviously have to be some difficult cost/benefit analysis for the more arcane problems. Doug, do you have a feel for the volume of reports CCW used to receive?[/QUOTE]
