<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pa1979, post: 333343, member: 10978&quot;]I don&#039;t post very much here....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And, I&#039;m new to the site...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But I have a question. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I understand the fact that if someone sees an obviously fake coin, it is worth it to report it to ebay, and have the auction taken down. I mean, I sure as hell would be ****ed if I missed some glaring red flag, and purchased a fake coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But!!&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In this case, I do not understand what everyone is reporting.&nbsp; Are we here to protect people from thier own stupidity??&nbsp; If someone has the money, and decides to purchase a locked box full of supposed coins.....isnt that thier own choice??&nbsp; If the seller of the mentioned Item wished to charge $10,000,000 for it, and someone paid for it, then what is the problem??&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>How about that grilled cheese sandwich that was sold on ebay a while back......the one with the picture of the virgin mary on it.&nbsp; Didnt it sell for some astronomical amount of money, like tens of thousands...if not hundreds of thousands??&nbsp; Would everyone here have reported it?&nbsp; I own a Diner.&nbsp; I sell grilled cheese for $3.10.&nbsp; Obviously the one that was listed on ebay was not worth the price it brought.&nbsp; But someone paid for it.&nbsp; Someone is happy with thier purchase.&nbsp; Should we have all reported taht grilled cheese because it was overpriced, and probably would have been inedible by the time it was shipped to its new owner??&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know that I am comparing totally different things, but the premise is still the same.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If I can list a 2007 quarter on ebay for $1,000,000 and someone pays me for it.....what is the crime??&nbsp; Given the fact that I did not misrepresent the quarter.....why should anyone have the right to deny me the chance to make the sale.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I see nothing wrong with the above auction.&nbsp; Yes, no one in thier right mind would buy a locked metal box full of coins that one cannot see for a quarter of a million dollars......BUT, if someone did....who are we to tell ebay to take it down?? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What is it that we are policing?? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just thinking out loud<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
