it says in the item headline proof set box and in the description it says box only I dont understand some people thats why you have to read the whole item description.
the seller did nothing wrong it is described as what it is a box.

OK it says 'box only' in caps, and the description is only one line long, so it's quite hard to miss..

The seller should of put no coins but they did put BOX ONLY. Some buyers don't pay attention at all.

I really can't fault the seller for this one. "BOX ONLY" is pretty conclusive. Greasy, maybe, but unequivocal.

Gah that is terrible. This actually happens quite often, and not just in the world of numismatics. I remember about 8 years ago or so, when a Playstation 2 was a really hot commodity, that people were bidding nearly $1000 for empty PS2 boxes. And the dealer explicitly said "BOX ONLY!" I guess a lot of people really just bid without really thinking.

The seller probably sent them in for gradeing if it had the quarters in it it would sell for $400 for that set on ebay hopefully the buyer nows that |

I hope when the buyer files a dispute, Paypal sides with the seller. It sucks for the seller because they will get negged over it.

The heading of the auction is not clear. It does say "box", however it's not clear enough IMO. The seller does list a 7 day money back policy in his sale. It's surely just coming back to him on those terms. Now... on the soapbox: The seller had to KNOW when bidding got that high, something was off. If it was my auction, I would have emailed the high bidder and just touched base with them to make sure they knew. If there was a mistake, you just let the bidder cancel their bid without issue, and go on with life. No problems. If the bidder was really bidding on the box, for some unknown reason, and was happy with the bid, then great... But at least CYA! Oh, if you look at the bid history... The bidders with high 'feedback' history all drop out at 23 bux!  The ones that go on from there are newbies. Edited by ratio411

This happened to me last night.
Told the buyer to wait for my invoice on multiple auctions won for the discount. They paid right away before I could even send an invoice. Just another example of how people do not read the descriptions. I of course contacted the buyer about it.

I think that some people have programs to bid a certain amount on certain items- like a lot of times, you look through listings of, say, Morgan dollars, and every one of them has a bid of $2.50 or something on it, for hundreds of coins... Gotta set up your filters REALLY carefully if you're going to do that... |
