<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MorganFred, post: 34167, member: 1779&quot;]I&#039;ve also taken advantage of the above, but very carefully since such a seller could cause me a lot of trouble through his ignorance. I&#039;ll look at the whole auction including his spelling, grammar, and punctuation which tells me at what level at which I would be working. If his English is poor, there&#039;s a good possibility he might have a communication problem; this happened to me once on an 89-CC Morgan which was improperly represented and in which the seller couldn&#039;t express himself, so he became angry at <b>ME.</b>&nbsp; Fortunately, I was able to work a compromise.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also <b>always, always</b> look at feedback on one of these picture-only auctions, but I think everyone on this forum is astute enough to do likewise with all auctions. Sometimes, the seller knows <b>exactly</b> what he&#039;s doing when he lists a coin with a picture only: often, there is a serious problem with the coin which doesn&#039;t show up in the pictures and he&#039;s just trying to dump it. I am very suspicious of &quot;You grade the coin&quot; auctions with pictures only. In all such instances, I&#039;ll query the seller asking for more details; if I receive a vague or deceptive answer or no answer at all, I almost always skip the auction (although I&#039;ve been known to take a chance... and have been burned a few times).</p><p><br /></p><p>Nevertheless, as sastootoko states, some good bargains can be had from picture-only auctions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
