Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1496314, member: 112"]I'll gladly respond to your comments. It has been my experience, (and that is experience that has been garnered over a great many years), that "feedback" is not only one of the most useless things there is, it is also one of most harmful things there is - when it pertains to the buying and selling of coins. I say that for several reasons. First and foremost because I have watched it in action, and I have participated in it, been a part of it. At first glance "feedback" seems like a good thing, a positive thing. But with a little reflection and and a little examination the exact opposite proves to be the case. You see, "feedback" is much like buying the coins is. For "feedback" really has no meaning unless you know and trust the person who is providing that "feedback". But very few people realize that, even fewer ever even consider the idea. And that is the danger of "feedback", for you end up trusting the word, be it good or bad, of somebody you don't know from Adam. So what good could it possibly be ? But the danger, the risk of trusting the word (the feedback) of someone you know nothing about - is patently obvious. You want a perfect example ? Look at ebay, they use feedback. Yet some of the worst scumbags that have ever been are among those with the very best feedback ratings that ebay has. That kind of says it all about feedback.[/QUOTE]
