<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 3100302, member: 76086"]As a dealer of over 30 years I have experienced plenty of remorse, both as a seller and buyer. I rarely go onto Ebay (for reasons which will soon be obvious), but today I browsed and found a coin I figured I would enter a bid on:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/SEPITIMUS-SEVERUS-25-MM-8-34-G-/223003617790?ul_noapp=true&nma=true&si=EKhBbEb%252BylaQGXmB2yqzGje%252B%252Fls%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/SEPITIMUS-SEVERUS-25-MM-8-34-G-/223003617790?ul_noapp=true&nma=true&si=EKhBbEb%252BylaQGXmB2yqzGje%252B%252Fls%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/SEPITIMUS-SEVERUS-25-MM-8-34-G-/223003617790?ul_noapp=true&nma=true&si=EKhBbEb%2BylaQGXmB2yqzGje%2B%2Fls%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]784539[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I figured, what the heck?

While some people may wish to give him a pass, he knew exactly what he was doing.
