[QUOTE="Hommer, post: 2235345, member: 73266"]A little history of this coin. It was in an auction I was watching. I would probably have bid on it, but I had already committed my budget to another auction. When I saw how cheap this auction closed at I couldn't believe it. In observing alot of auctions and noticing that alot of the coins being won were later relisted. I just always assumed there were shill bidders involved and they got over zealous. After conversing with several sellers, I learned this wasn't the case most of the time. It seems there are people that get great thrill out of running up a bid with no intention or means to pay when they get caught. Having known this I sent a message to the seller that if the winner didn't pay, I would like to negotiate on the coin. I also told him that I had blew my budget and if he would be interested I could definitely pay for it in 2 weeks. Guess what, the guy sent me a message back saying that he had contacted the auction winner and that he returned a message that said he couldn't pay for it. He also said that he wasn't hungry and that if we could make a deal, he would wait on the payment. We made a deal and he and I both stuck to our agreement. He messaged me after he shipped it and said that I definitely wouldn't be disappointed. I never noticed the Vam until I got the coin in hand and he never mentioned it. He was right in that I am not disappointed. It goes to show that even in these virtual times, a handshake can still be honored.[/QUOTE]
