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...nterval=365.


It's not the quantity of negs and neuts (and I didn't search for "soft" negs hidden as +), but the fact that virtually every gripe is about the same problem--salted rolls that "just happen" to have uncish vdbs on the ends.

Ask anyone who has searched a bag or more of wheats how often they find a vdb, then divide that by 50 to see how often it's

a) on the end
b) reverse out

yet this guy has sold dozens of such rolls.

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.

But Fred, he has a two-week return policy. If you're dissatisfied with a purchase, send it back. I don't think this seller is out to defraud buyers. He rather appears to me to be in it for the long haul, trying to cultivate repeat customers. If I were to see a negative wherein he dishonored his return policy, that would be persuasive for me. Short of that, I'm saying, I don't think I'd just categorically dismiss him.

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.

USED to happen to me all the time. And would just put them back in change. Of course that was about 1950 or earlier.

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.

As in all things- caveat emptor. If you're a gambler try a purchase. If unhappy, see how he honors his return policy. A whole group of consecutive negatives is something I'm sure he doesn't want to see.
