While I don't particularly like what this seller has written in their listings, I have bought from this seller numerous times. They regularly have for auction great selections of coins and what you see is what you get.

I too hear good things about his coins, but there in lies the problem he doesn't show the edge which is one of THE MOST important sides of Conder tokens which he sells a lot of, without knowing if it's plain, reeded or lettered can make an absolute HUGE difference in pricing.  He says to not ask questions and do my own research, yet he fails to provide the basics on these tokens. No way I'm bidding $50 to $100+ on a Conder that ends up being worth $35 because he won't tell what the edge design is. Not worth it, so he looses out on any money from me.

Here's a gem I noticed while reviewing his feedback: The buyer of a $110 item complained, "Flimsy and inadequate packaging for a collectible item. The original mint envelope including the coin arrived bent and crimped." The seller replied, "Well. Some things happen. You seem to be an expert on being flimsy and inadequate yourself."   |

Westcoin- I would let him know it's imperative to see the 3rd side.
I want to dive into Conder tokens myself!

Personally, I see nothing wrong with his "disclaimers". There are some real idiots who buy coins on ebay, and they cause an inordinate amount of trouble and frustration for sellers. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

My point was that in scaring away the idiots, a lot of potentially good buyers get scared away too.
