While this logic sounds good, it often is not the best route. Using your coin as an example, if the coin is indeed net graded with anything less than MS-62 you will be upside down in the purchase. Problem coins are always harder to sell. A net grade coin in a Anacs holder will sell for less than a simular grade. ie: MS-62 versus Net grade MS-62. </p><p><br /></p><p>Scrutinizing the seller. Here is a very good proceedure. Although it appears that you did not follow your own advice in this case. As one who does not deal on Ebay, I find it interesting that many here base so much on the feedback rating. With the current system of rating a seller, it seems as if the process of picking a seller solely on feedback rating is not the best way of going about it. In your case, the seller has a rating of 99.7% On the surface, this sounds like a good seller. However, you must consider how many people chose not to leave a neg, and how many just do not realize how much they lost in their transaction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
