[QUOTE="BUncirculated, post: 1328909, member: 29581"]I think you should post the case(s) in which you speak of. You have to remember it's a buyer beware market, especially in collectibles, i.e. coins. No one's arm is being twisted forcing them to buy. It's not as easy to prove a dealer acted in violation of any fraud statutes, and the buyer always has the option to walk away. Most sales, especially coins, are as is, meaning the condition with which the item is in at the time of the sale is accepted by the buyer when purchasing it, with no guarantees. The only exceptions that would have a chance of winning in court would be: 1.) One party is a minor under the age of 18 and cannot be held to the same level of responsibility as a person 18 years or older. 2.) The complaining party can prove mental defect, or capacity that would prevent them from acting in the same manner as a person without such defect or lower capacity. 3.) Obvious fraud.[/QUOTE]
