Today's Humor, 1911 Cent

Well, continuing on my lifelong quest to be the most unpopular and utterly despised member in this coin forum, I have to tell you guys, I don't see what you're all so rattled about. At least, give me some credit, I'm being honest. The pics on this subject coin could zoom-up clearer, I'll give you all that. But, this could very well be a MS-66, even a MS-67, in-hand.

If you roll the dice, you've got a two-week return policy, no questions asked. Look at his rolls. He's in the business. It's a little unfair to lump him in with some amateur who can't even spell. This guy defrauds one buyer, his whole racket goes down, he's toast. Would you feel better were this subject coin in a PCGS or NGC MS-66RD holder? Well, it's not. While the TPGs do try to monopolize the coin market, they don't. This is capitalism at it's best.

I don't see anything wrong with what this guy is doing, here, with this listing, outside of asking more for the subject coin than you (and, I'll include, I, too) would be willing to pay. Let him alone. And, no, I don't know this guy. Sheesh.

If you wanted to show me what a small-minded person you are you just succeeded with a comment like that.

On this seller's feedback, his 16 negatives you reference in the past 12 months are hardly compelling in the light of these 2233 positives: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...interval=365.

I agree, of course a collector would go through those. That 1911 was funny though.

As you resort to personal insults. Right in line with your true character.

Instead of just linking me to this seller's negatives to prove your point you choose to supplement that with a provocative crack. And I point that out and it's my character that's impugned. Fine. Reason how you will.

Puh-leeze! When was the last time you found a vdb

1) In a batch of common wheats
2) In nearly-new condition
3) On the end of a roll
4) In a shotgun wrapper
5) With the reverse visible
6) Not just once, but dozens of times.
7) This group of events is incredible, as in "without credibility"
8) The word "gullible" is not in the dictionary.

His presentation is purposely misleading.

Return policies are better than nothing, but years ago, someone studied them. In the case of grossly misreprented stuff ( Buffalo nickels instead of Mercury times, shorted rolls, obviously XF coins sent as gems, etc) only 20% were returned.

Why? If the seller is incompetent, how badly can they screw up a return?

If you keep it, you at least have something to show. Return it, and you have nothing but the hope of a refund/replacement. Some people prefer to quit before they get further behind.

It costs time and money to return something. With rare exceptions, you're out shipping both ways.

Returning something, at least sub-consciously, makes some people feel that they somehow made a mistake. In this example, buyers jump to confusions, and after they get 48 common wheats, well, the seller didn't say there was anything there.

No problem, I didn't realize the seller is as honest as the day is long, and has a time machine he didn't tell us about.
