Well, honestly I don't know what you're talking about in your reply to me. The facts here are you said very plainly.... Quote:
Fact is he said afterwards he never had a 45. That person is not telling the truth. My point is simple. Assuming someone is a liar is a big assuption. I'm merely trying to point out that you're getting upset at people here because they are assuming things about this scenario, but you are assuming the seller is a liar just because he has a picture of a 45. If I had every coin that I have photographs of, I'd be retired.  |

which he posted and said he never had it. perhaps he can't see the difference between a 5 and a 6?
again...I AM NOT UP SET.
this subject is now closed for me.

HHbkiddo, I think what Bobby is trying to say is a person can have pictures on his computer of coins that they never owned (presumably for educational or want list purposes).

Hello again, further development to the topic subject.  the guy is at it again... for the 3rd time now.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...TRK:MEWAX:IT2 weeks ago he had it up and removed it then. probably because someone complained. I understand that everybody can make a mistake....maybe once...maybe 2 times....BUT 3 times? specially having been made aware of it? NO WAY He is clearly aware that the reverse picture is a 1945 Canada Dollar and not a 46.  at the time I asked what the legal position in the US would be. some of you literally gave me heck.... Well, I believe he is doing this purposely to attract a higher, MUCH higher price.  He should be stopped. But.... HOW?  HHB Edited by hhbkiddo

Good, you left neutral feedback with information to the problem. That's the best way to help buyers that do their due diligence before buying.
hhbkiddo, you are correct and several people have agreed with you. And due to the new listing it is obviously intentional. Bobby pointed out how it could have been an honest mistake, before it became flagrant.

As for if any US law can apply to the situation, I don't believe there are any.
How could one prove that the seller knowingly inserted the wrong picture?
How could one prove it wasn't an error?
To many "ifs" for a court to get involved, but I'm sure there are lawyers who will take up a case is someone has money to spend
It's really apparent many here do not watch auto dealer commercials. I still remember the Jim Moran the Curtisy man adds for cars. What you saw on TV and what was really there were like apples and oranges. And not just with the car industry either. The TV adds for all kinds of items are sort of a comeon and not intended for the real world. False advertising? Yeah, right. Go into any McDonalds, Burger King, etc. and look at the photos on the wall for their food then order that. Does it even resemble the photo? How about those food store adds where they show all the produce in perfect rows, all nice and fresh and no finger nail marks. Now go to that store and look for that situation. This is really a buyers beware world. |

The guy has 100% feedback. I can't believe this. There should be a place where iffy ebay coin seller stuff is recorded. Part of the problem is that ebay deliberately destroys old information on auctions. I wonder if this is so that people are forced to let sleeping dogs lie. |

See he's still doing that "show the King side" and have a '45 as the other picture. I've asked him why he shows a '45 in a listing for a '46...let's see what he says.

Interesting. His answer, "I do not have a 1945 pictured.This is a 1946 canadian silver dollar..Maybe you need to use a magnifying glass......"
I sent him back a reply: "Yep, that's a '45. It's that obvious."
