<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EyeEatWheaties, post: 978475, member: 26972&quot;]So wait!&nbsp; was that you?&nbsp;&nbsp; What number did you put in?&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with you 100% - the quality of the listing is everything.&nbsp; It blows me away how greatsouthern gets more for raw pennies than PCGS says they are worth certified. I have been told they are one of the biggest coin doctors out there. Yet, I have learned and have gotten the best deals on coins from people who didn&#039;t know or have the capability of doing a decent listing. I actually felt guilty last Xmas because I found a whole series in one night, of high grade (albeit dipped) listed as 19-- US One Cent.&nbsp; Properly listed and at a different time he should have gotten 4 to 10 times what I paid.&nbsp; anyways..</p><p><br /></p><p>It is pretty easy to tell (I think) which are the bogus sellers, people who purposely take blurry pics and who is selling grandmas collection using the feedback system&nbsp; etc etc..&nbsp; Plus, with the eBay policies biased against the seller, the buyer is very well protected on returns.&nbsp; Then factor in the &quot;if it is too good to be true&quot; because that really applies. In other words if there aren&#039;t many people bidding on a properly listed coin..&nbsp; For example; I logged on recently and found 4 rare IH 08 09s and 14d and 09s wheat closing within a few minutes of my login.&nbsp; I sniped them last seconds and then noticed after the close that this seller only sold those coins.&nbsp; OOOOPS!&nbsp; lol ah yep... counterfeits....&nbsp; contacted the seller, asked him some questions, told him I would take them and hope for the best..&nbsp; oh well..&nbsp; nothing ventured nothing gained??&nbsp; I got them, worst fakes I ever have seen - lol - he refunded the $600 and told me to keep them, now I have another/more fake example(s) and everything is cool.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am from the school of &quot;let the buyer beware&quot; or something like that. I don&#039;t get mad at people trying to make a buck, I get mad at me for being stupid.</p><p><br /></p><p>The few times I have looked at heritage, the buyer fees irk me.&nbsp; I guess I should look more often though.&nbsp; I recently saw a 14d penny on PCGS coinfacts previous Heritage auction from earlier this month.... that only had 2 other examples, valued at 125k - it sold for 27k!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
