<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bikergeek, post: 4986373, member: 112428&quot;]I usually try to assume the best of people until they prove otherwise. So, as a little experiment, I headed over to the &#039;bay and found this listing, and sent them a heads-up that this was a probable fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>Imagine my surprise to find that this is a local shop that I have frequented in the past. In fact, they were only a mile from my old house! The young guy that I deal with has ALWAYS acted with integrity and tells the truth. But I will concede: they are a big outfit, and coins seem to be a much smaller sideline of their jewelry business-they don&#039;t spend time holding my hand and letting me poke through bins of stuff (although I&#039;d love to look through bins! lol!) As a bigger outfit, I thought they tended to wholesale out stuff like this more often than listing it, but I didn&#039;t really follow their online listings ever so I can&#039;t say. When I bought from them I was buying and stacking bags of old junk silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>The speculation about whether they create their own feedback seems unwarranted to me and I&#039;m not sure our community should cast those kinds of aspersions without proof. I look critically at feedback on e-commerce sites, but my understanding of the &#039;bay says that a transaction must be made for a feedback-so it wouldn&#039;t even be easy to do if a seller were so inclined.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, like I said, I did my experiment and reported that this is probably a fake (and that it was being noticed by &quot;a forum I read!&quot;) I&#039;ll be interested to see if they reply, and what action they take next.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
