Bidding on a coin on ebay, then bidding on a similar coin that I forgot I had bid on in the first place, and winning both!

When a coin is to big for the 2x2...
To make it worse, convincing yourself that it will fit... only to end up ruining a good coin.

I'm with The Duke on the bargain bin poachers.
I cut the young ones a little slack and will even offer my reject pile to them if there's room.
But is it rude to slap the old timer's hand as he reaches into my zone?
I do wait my turn (can be hard sometimes.)

"High Dollar" (for me that is $20+)coins for sale on ebay with a photo either taken with a cell phone or from across the room. Do they really think I am going to spend my money on something I can hardly see?

ebay sellers who post photos taken through a flip or 2x2. And/or posting a pic of a beat up dirty 2x2 with cross outs.

Dealers who do not have the requisite social skills to allow appropriate interaction with others. (AKA grumpy old men)
Rest in Peace

Young people that cannot read or write. (AKA products of Public Education.)
Do these two negatives make a positive?
I hope so.
