<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 8318571, member: 77639&quot;]I’ve noticed that the registry of a major grading service can be used for directly selling coins.&nbsp; The seller sets up a custom set so they can list a variety of coins for sale, the coins not necessarily related to each other.&nbsp;&nbsp; The seller states in the set description to contact them if interested in buying any of the coins and gives an email address.&nbsp;&nbsp; The email address never has an @ symbol in it but uses something like “at” or (at).&nbsp; Presumably, this is to get by a bot that the grading service has to prevent this sort of thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I find this distasteful and potentially dangerous.&nbsp;&nbsp; I look at registry sets to see neat collections, not have coins hawked at me.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, if a grading service wants to have a for-sale section on their website, but not in the registry, that’s OK with me.&nbsp; But they should have a warning that anyone who buys directly from advertisers on the website may lose their money unless the method of payment allows redress.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
