<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 3975865, member: 15199&quot;]There are some sellers that are good, some iffy, some evil , and some just plain stupid or misled by Youtube type of idiot. But there is some gold still around. If and I say IF you get enough knowledge you can detect it from the fake dog crap. If you know the characteristics of varieties you can actually find some good ones after discarding the scum that are damaged or not at all. I am looking for some 17/17 DDO lincolns as I only have one. One day I looked at 37 on eBay. 7 were slabbed accurately, the&nbsp; other 30 , listed as such 7 were true, but all had appropriate prices except 2 damaged ones and the rest were not DDO#1. Similarly the 36/36 DDO#1,2,3 , only 1/3 were true and all were appropriately priced or slabbed.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; I think that too many knowing little or less about the coin they are considering feel protected and play fast and easy with the seller and bring it to their LCD or a forum and ask if it is good or not, and maybe return. In 1000s of purchases through Ebay, I have only had 1 major problem with a camera purchase/return as the seller became medically disabled, and a few minor ones such as synthetic gemstones or treated ( such as coating)ones. My current seller has a higher sell price ( about 15%) occurring since he is 99.9% with over 100,000 sales. So stay away from low sales&nbsp; and/or low %. Also stay away from sapphires from Songea Tanzania as the beautiful colors are diffused ions on the surface only.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
