<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pennycase, post: 20731, member: 1141&quot;]This pretains to e-bay, even if you do not purchase anything on e-bay, I would like some opinions. </p><p>You see lots of sellers on ebay offering unsearched wheat cents by the 1/2 pound, they claim they are unsearched etc etc, you know there are 40&#039;s and 50&#039;s in the lot, they have many praises on their description from people finding key dates and stuff like that, yet you look at the feedback and there is no mention of these things happening, what you see though is a lot of people who aren&#039;t all that enthusiastic about their purchase, and some that are highly P.O.&nbsp; Although, this seller is a platinum seller with 5000 positive feedbacks, with around 20 negatives, and 50 neutrals.</p><p><br /></p><p>While you have another who is offering lets just say 1 roll of all pre 1940 wheat pennies, who guarantees that there will be at least 15 differant dates and or mintmarks in the 30&#039;s, at least 5 teens, and at least 10 differant dates, and or mintmarks in the 20&#039;s. The seller has under 50 feedbacks, but, they are all positives.</p><p><br /></p><p>Would you bid higher on a lot that could quite possibly be only 30&#039;s , 40&#039;s and 50&#039;s, and maybe 2 teens, with a 1 in a 5000 chance of getting a penny worth 5 bucks, or go with the seller who tells you exactly what you are getting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Because what I am seeing right now, is a lot of people getting ripped off by these sellers who claim they have never been unsearched, and always give a praise in their description, claming that a major key date(s) have been found, while you don&#039;t see this in their feedback at all. Is it because there aren&#039;t many sellers out there who tell you exactly what you get? Or are people infatuated with the whole unsearched thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I may be answering my own question for the majority of buyers, but, I&#039;m seeking opinions, also, why would someone pay 300 + dollars on a 5000 bag of wheaties, that they have no idea of the contents, and the seller doesn&#039;t even know what&#039;s in there, for all he/she knows they could all be 40&#039;s and 50&#039;s? While another seller tells you there are about a thousand teens and 20&#039;s with the rest being 30&#039;s 40&#039;s and 50&#039;s only gets around 160 - 200.00 ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
