<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Anteater, post: 2518689, member: 81878&quot;]To be fair, it&#039;s not that I bought a counterfeit on eBay, though they are there and eBay never once has removed a counterfeit item that I reported.&nbsp; It&#039;s that I was outright ripped off.&nbsp; Spent $400 on a coin that the 900+ positive feedback seller never even put in the mail.&nbsp; The guy ripped off a couple dozen other people besides based on his sudden rash of negative feedback, and eBay never made me whole on the transaction.&nbsp; After weeks of trying to get my money back and getting nothing but hassle from them I just gave up as it wasn&#039;t worth my time anymore.&nbsp; Years later I tried coming back to eBay and made a perfectly reasonable bid on a coin which was then shill-bid up to an incredible price.&nbsp; I must have been the highest legit bidder among a swarm of shills because the 3 people above me on the coin were bypassed and I got a second-chance offer which I declined shortly before reporting the seller with over 10K positive feedback for shilling.&nbsp; It will be a cold, cold day in Hell when I go back to scamBay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aside:&nbsp; What&#039;s up with eBay&#039;s second-chance offers?&nbsp; You get the second chance offer at your highest bid price, when you should get it at the price of the next-higher bidder below you.&nbsp; It should work as if the highest bidder never even bid.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know this wasn&#039;t the actual point of your question, but I collect for the artistry, not for the thrill of hunting down some particularly rare date or mint-mark.&nbsp; With a few exceptions, I only do non-bullion, non-commemorative US coins, and only care to have one beautiful example of each type of US coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
