[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1293824, member: 22585"]Ok, so I won an auction (over melt value) for a complete set of Roosevelt silver dimes, most of them toned nicely. That all looks great. Then I notice the seller has the [B]EXACT [/B]same images and description in another listing. So I ask them if I will be recieving the item in the pictures and notify them that they have the duplicate listing. They say yes, I will get the item in the picture. Before I pay, I check to see if the duplicate auction is still up. Well, it is and it now has bidders. So I message them again asking if they could explain to me how this is possible, and why the listing hasn't been removed yet. This was their response: "We have two of the exact same coins, the pictures were taken of the first one, the one you purchased, and that is the one you will get, we actually wanted to put as quantity available 2 but forgot to so we just re-listed it. Thanks" [B]Am I crazy by thinking this is weird[/B]? First of all, it's a whole set of coins, and they are described as toned. It's not like you can have an exact duplicate of a toned set of coins. So myself or the other winning bidder of the duplicate auction is not going to get what is pictured. I am hesitant to pay for this item. Any thoughts? Should I just walk away from this? Should I just go for it and see what happens? They do have a 3 day return policy and 100% feedback.[/QUOTE]
