otto Pillar of the Community United States 1326 Posts	Posted 07/10/2016 5:53 pm I just purchased this coin on ebay for 52.45 USD total. It was listed as BIN at $250 or bid opening at $50. I was the only bidder. The seller does not offer refunds, so I feel like I took a gamble. Comments would be most appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5394 Posts	Posted 07/10/2016 8:44 pm Let's just say you would not get that type of Quality in England for 37Pounds ( same as fifty USD). Nice coin ! BTW OT .......totally irrelevant if seller says no refunds. With ebay and or Paypal the buyer always wins. Report this Post to the Staff
otto Pillar of the Community United States 1326 Posts	Posted 07/10/2016 8:55 pm I appreciate your feedback. I have always thought that e-bay favored buyers. But your comment still puzzles me. Let's say hypothetically you receive a coin that you can see is a forgery. How could e-bay get your money back, short of you providing documentation? Report this Post to the Staff
Numister Pillar of the Community Singapore 631 Posts	Posted 07/10/2016 10:20 pm I tried getting a refund from ebay before but not for coins, the amount was not much about $30 but they make the process really long and tedious, just to wear you out so you might give up. Report this Post to the Staff
otto Pillar of the Community United States 1326 Posts	Posted 07/10/2016 11:16 pm I have gotten refunds on coins that were never sent. Actually one that was eventually sent, which I then repayed for. My point was that if you get a fake and the seller doesn't take returns, you may have to somehow prove it. Now I'm just looking for reassurance. I feel more confident that I made a good purchase after Pacificoin's reply. Perhaps the seller would've gotten more bites if he did take returns. So maybe this worked to my advantage.

otto Pillar of the Community United States 1326 Posts	Posted 07/12/2016 7:17 pm Thanks for commenting. I do see the rim damage and a bit of noticeable wear in center of crown. Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5394 Posts	Posted 07/12/2016 7:27 pm @Otto do not worry you did quite well. There is a profit in it for sure. In zen gland that quality at a coin fair would be far higher than what you paid. Cheers! Report this Post to the Staff
