[QUOTE="brassnautilus, post: 2128698, member: 74300"]You mean OCD was a vice Bing? Virtue or not, if James Clerk Maxwell was OCD, then his boundary equations wouldn't had been published, and we all be counting beans under whale oil lamps. Ebay charges 12.8% (including paypal fee), and certification costs $30, so that leaves a region where that $35 accounts for a significant % of total. I guess that's where it can get murky. Sellers didn't want to jack prices up by $35 (and make their item less attractive by 15 or 20%) , while buyers wouldn't feel comfortable enough with just words of guarantee. 10% is where I draw the line. If cert cost was less than 10% of total value, then I'd rather pay that to get a peace of mind. Lower than that then I'd rather go without a cert, and wait for it to pop on forvm's listings. I'd go as far as giving benefit of the doubt to sellers that had occasionally passed a fake trajan or c.fabius, so long as majority of their offerings were genuine. They take so little profit from those, could had be an innocent case of overlooking things?[/QUOTE]
