[QUOTE="clembo, post: 333418, member: 8033"]Good points and made many times in the past. What are we policing? Blatant fraud leaps to mind I highly doubt this lot will get a bid, and yes buyer beware but do you think this really helps the hobby of Numismatics if it did get a bid? Look at it from this angle if you would. We here on CoinTalk are collectors from many different parts of he world. We love and appreciate our coins. I believe we are all basically honest and treat one another with respect. Yes, we actually care. We're all basically looking to buy coins and, in many cases, sell coins but in an honest manner. We enjoy and respect the hobby that has been around the longest as far as I can tell. So, do we want to see the hobby tainted? Come on a no brainer there. It's been tainted enough already by TV, Morgan Mints etc. Ebay was once a place where you basically saw people selling legitimate goods. Now it's a huge industry rife with scammers. They have taken a lot of heat for this recently. Yes, I know it's a business and businesses need to make money to keep going but to what extent? Shall we allow this to just go on and aid in the demise of our hobby? Are you one of these sellers? Would you be one of these sellers? Yeah, make a few bucks and destroy a hobby. Not saying you are but does any of this make sense to you? If not it's a damn shame. clembo[/QUOTE]
