I saw that auction also. Pretty pathetic. That's one reason these forums are so important. People jump into the hobby with both feet before taking any time to learn.

I have no clue why morons (bidders) will believe anything written in the text of an auction and bid like a complete idiot, but if you hand them a coin they're thinking of buying they want to lowball you all day long.

And still learning ... bought a couple of coin/s and sent them back (14th Feb. this year) and still going thru the dis-tastfull task of trying to recover the money spent (not the money as much the principal) ... from the returned coin/s.
E-Bay Item. (after money sent, no email replies, didn't answer phone ... going thru PayPal now ... item not as discribed ... fruad ... still working it, so now he has coins back and my money and other/s have contacted me that he's doing them the same way ... refuses to re-fund thier money ... BEWARE of this seller)
People please ... if a bad experiance with a seller post it in thier feedback/s let other/s know about it, if not, no ones to know, about it and no is the wiser. (read thier feedback/s)
Anyway ... long story short ... educate yourselves.
Not all people are crooks and ingrates ... just out for a buck.
Have a nice day.

Holly cow!!! Someone paid $415 for that coin. I need to start mis-representing my coins from now on.

This auction demonstrates the lack of ethics only belonging to a thief. The uninformed, enthusiastic collector that just wasted $414.99 will most likely throw in the towel when he finds out what he bought. I will guarantee you one thing, I will re-read the ad word for word and if I can find one mis-representation I will be letting ebay know about this crook. This is shameful.

Notifing E-Bay ... will only get you "form email/s" in reply ... only place I've been able to get anthing done, is thru PayPal, thy will freeze the jerk's account till thy resolve the matter ... and takes to long ... but at least thy will do something besides just sending you an emil and saying thy have taken actions in this matter ... the feedback ... let unsuspecting buyer/s know something also ... look out for these unscupous seller/s.
Just because thy insist on you leaving feedback 1st as a buyer ... after thy leave you feedback (any feedback left) can be replyed to, even positive feedback ... use it. Let other/s know how your experiance was with a seller ... some are real ******* %^&*()%$#@ ... just like out here ... always a few in the flock that have no morals at all.
