[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3838247, member: 99642"]It looks like you wrote your reply inside the brackets. When you quote someone , it's all in the reply box until you hit the reply button. You'll notice the quote starts with a bracket ( [ ) then the capitalized word " QUOTE ". Then the quote ends with the same thing but reversed " QUOTE] " If you write your reply anywhere within those two brackets, it ends up as part of the quote. Don't worry about it. It happens to other people also. Whenever I quote someone, just to be safe, I skip a couple of lines down before I start typing my reply. Anyway, back to the question at hand. I don't know if this guy is for real or not. Hundreds of dollars in value for a comparatively low starting price. If no one else bids, someone gets one heck of a deal. That idea may be what the seller is counting on to get a bidder or bidders. Once this is won, and the winning bid is paid, how can anyone be sure the goods will be sent? I know this, there are two phrases that always give me pause : "....given to me by a family member." and " I am not a coin person. ". To me, those are scammer phrases that are meant to put potential bidders at ease, as if to say " Hey, I'm just a goober who don't know nothing so come on over and take advantage of my ignorance. ". This whole deal reminds me of an Etsy deal. I'm not saying Yay or Nay. I'm just saying it's not for me.[/QUOTE]
