Selling On Ebay -- Apologies For The Rant

I have to agree with those that say a more toned-down approach might be to your advantage. Even if warranted, a healthy dose of what the bidder deserved has the potential to cause more problems than it solves.

If you are referring to the 48 Washington then I kinda see where he thinks that. The details are washed out a lot by the flash. That being said I enjoyed the read of your disclaimer.

I dont live in my parents basement.

I'm sure he could really see your photo well on his smart phone. (not)

I've added that name to my blocked list. (Life is too short)

I might have written your disclaimer, but I doubt if I would have posted it. I'd be afraid of crossing some ebay boundary if I did so. I did smile when reading it.

bkprewitt: While there certainly are grading standards that everyone should follow ( ANA Gradebook), grading does have a subjective element to it and some grades depending upon the series (esp. F-15, VF-35, AU-53, MS/PF-64, and MS/PF-66) can be more subjective that others. I really would not publicly flame the guy. Even if you know he's absolutely wrong you don't know who he or she personally is and what numismatic experience they have. I would add him to the blocked buyer list however. #1 they aren't worth your time. #2 If they are a new collector or otherwise have limited numismatic experience they can buy the ANA Gradebook and Photograde to learn and then #3 If they still have a question they can ask an informative question in a professional and respective manner.
