I spoke to my favorite dealer about the 3-Leg Buffalo I bought (link)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...41&rd=1&rd=1And he confirmed what a few opined on this forum. Lamination on a Buffalo IS considered negative, even though technically it's not considered a "problem" coin from the graders.
Based on what "problem free" 3-Leg AU-53 buffalos are auctioning for, I don't think I got completely raked over the coals. But I do want a 3-Leg with no issues whatsoever. It's a shame because I love the coin, and I even love the nature of (this particular) Lamination. But I have a mental block about anything negative about my coins, especially such a major purchase.
My dealer said he will look at it and make an offer, but he insisted I don't tell him what I paid for it. I think this is his way of making a fair and ethical offer. If I can't get my cost back I want to return it.
So to my questions...
1: Is it considered bad etiquette to return a coin when it was as described, and they provided good service? I don't blame the seller.
2: They state a 7 day return policy. I'm assuming that means I have 7 days from the time I receive it, to the time I notify them and ship it? Shipping time standard is about 5 days.
3: When they receive the coin back, what's an acceptable amount of time the money is returned? I paid by credit card, so I would imagine they just credit the funds back to my card.
Thanks for any insight!
