They will eventually slip up and get taken down. I would hope to see it sooner than later. EBay seems to protect them &#039;cause they generate a lot of money for eBay. So they are responsible too.

I can. True. and would be able to sell hundreds of coins to unsuspecting naïve collectors at $10-$30 dollars a piece. Coins that are valued at only a few cents apiece.</p><p><br /></p><p>That does not make it right.</p><p><br /></p><p>No one looks out for the inexperienced collector and they get taken.</p><p>And another collector bites the dust.
