<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 415133, member: 15062&quot;]Well, of course, my figures were, in a way, the extreme of possibilities but, when we discuss ebay needing to police their listings, we have to realize that it&#039;s not just coins they provide access to.&nbsp; There are thefts of, and ebay listings of coins, stamps, cars, electronic equipment, hummel figurines, stained glass, etc., etc.&nbsp; Why would we expect them to limit their policing to coins only?</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a flaw in your logic regarding what you might expect ebay to actually look at.&nbsp; On the one hand you don&#039;t expect that they would pay much attention to the &quot;cheaper&quot; items [$1-$5000?].&nbsp; On the other hand, the number of high ticket items listed are very few and far between.&nbsp; When&#039;s the last time you saw a listing for an 1882 $20 Gold? Or an 1870S Dollar?&nbsp; The truth is, the higher value items won&#039;t show up on ebay; they&#039;ll go through the underground to people who wouldn&#039;t waste their time looking at ebay.</p><p><br /></p><p>If, in your example of a theft, ebay ignored the more common items and just concentrated on big ticket ones, nothing at all would get looked at.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
