lakebreeze, This is a marketing gimic that quite a few eBay Sellers of coins use to lure people into viewing and possibly to bid on the item! They are not saying that the grades MS-65, just that it would be worth $92 at MS-65 and they can use this in their defense in case of disputs. I wish that eBay would make a policy requiring Sellers to either state the grade whether it is actual or their opinion or to not state a grade whatsoever. They should bar the practice of stating that the coin would be worth $X,XXX @ MS-68, because it is not only misleading but it also lures some people that have no idea about grades of coins into bidding on the coin.

Yea I find a lot of auctions are atleast partially mis leading... Especially the Lots... I've bought a few and what I got looked nothing like the pics.... But after reading the details again, I see how they worded it to make you make assumptions and bid more for it than its worth...
Keyword spamming is expressly forbidden in the listing policies, so I reported his auction, I recommend that you guy do the same. This clown is just making those of us who are legitimate sellers look bad.
The one neg is from a jerk who saw pictures of the garbage he bought, and is surprised that he didn't get thousands of dollars worth of coins for his $113. Sorry folks, his ability to judge sellers doesn't impress me at all. If you read the two auctions involved carefully, there is absolutely no claim that the coins being sold are high grade, only that high grade examples are worth a lot. The legal term for that kind of advertising is "puffery", which is not illegal.:headbang:
