Looks like he might be an ok seller, several hundred items, with 99.9%... also looking at last year 229 positives with no negatives. I am also looking at getting some key date walkers.

Still, I won't bid on the coin, because there is no back photo... he also states, no questions, no more photos, etc. I don't buy coins of any value w/o seeing both sides of the coin, so no more questions, no photos, no returns = NO BID!

I wonder how much business he is losing this way?

I couldn't disagree with you more. He's a busy coin dealer who doesn't want to take his valuable time answering questions about slabbed coins. He's obviously decided that it costs him more to give excellent customer service than he loses in sales from not providing it.

I actually respect him. He's got good feedback. Not all of his buyers are newbies. Some of his buyers are also coin sellers, which is something I look for.

It's just me, but if he had something I wanted and it was cheap, I wouldn't hesitate. If you get that coin for 75-80 bucks, how much would you lose when you resold it? Seems like a risk that might be worth taking. But then again, I have more money than sense, and I don't have much money

Well, to each his own I guess. The guy is certainly well within his rights to do business that way. I've seen worse, at least with this guy you know exactly where you stand.

Would I sell like that or buy from him.... Never. But that's my right too.

I do agree that it is nice to know where you stand. That is obviously a good point with this seller. It definitely looks like he has made a calculated business decision, and to each their own.

I could even see bidding on the coin even if I couldn't see the back if he had a return policy. But without a return policy, and only one side visible I won't bid on the coin even if it is PCGS slabbed. I have seen some PCGS slabbed coins that I didn't agree with the grade on, or like the looks of the coin even if I do agree with the grade.

It's a G04 walker. What exactly do you want to see on the back? If it was damaged on the reverse, wouldn't PCGS have it stated on the label?

if it was damaged PCGS would not have even slabbed it ..

The point is that coins have 2 sides and both in my opinion should be seen before buying .

I would not bid on the coin either .

as for his business practices ,, thats his business !! Its just a business that I would not use !!

I'd personally want to see both sides of any coins I was considering I've seen some ugly looking slabbed coins even at MS grades.

While it's his business & he can run how he likes the whole 'No Questions' 'No Returns' attitude personally turns me off. There are only six items listed, it's not like a reverse shot would have taken much effort. While I'm sure he makes money I'm also sure there are more people than me who would more than likely skip bidding on his stuff, although if he had something I really wanted & it was underpriced due to lack of bidding or something I might take a flyer on it.
