<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3133005, member: 19463&quot;]I am nothing but confused.&nbsp; By the time I came upon this thread, the first post showed a sale by a seller variana_museum at a price suspiciously low.&nbsp; Looking at other items in that seller&#039;s store, I see images that look like real coins at prices I would consider bargains.&nbsp; This is way too often the sign of a scam of some sort.&nbsp; Then I see our most respected poster vouching for the coin and later saying that the coin shown now and the coin shown before were different.&nbsp; IMO this situation makes it dangerous to post anything based on a link.&nbsp; If we are not all talking about the same coin, no good can come of the discussion.&nbsp; I know nothing about this seller and have not found the name in a fake seller list but remain hesitant due to the prices being too good to be true.&nbsp; I stopped buying from unknown European sellers a couple years ago after too many bad experiences but I know there are many of you that thrive on buying things and wondering if they will ever arrive.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If eBay has in fact made the change TIF described, they have made invalid all linking to any coin shown on their site.&nbsp; We all need to stop commenting on links but only posting photos we have taken ourselves to avoid confusion between coins and sellers.&nbsp; As it now stands, this thread strikes me as harmful to persons who come upon it as I did and see us vouching for coins we may have never intended.&nbsp; TIF may have explained the situation in later posts but by the time readers get to those clarifications, the damage could well have been done. I am seeing wisdom here in some of the rules over on Forvm that many here have considered excessive.&nbsp; If links are being substituted, how is that not bait and switch?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
