Liberty Nickels. Was It A Good Buy?

Hmmm..you seem happy enough with the coins and the price , why the nuetral?
Sometimes giving out poor feedback has a way of coming back on one if its seen as dubious,one can find themselves blocked from bidding for example , not just with that seller , people do read feedback as seen here on the forum.
Nobody seriously thought you were getting 10 rolls,at the worst id leave no feedback at all.Then again you are pleased with the purchase ?

If you bid expecting 10 rolls and only got one due to the ambiguous wording of the auction, I would probably neg him. Granted, in this case you still got a pretty good deal, so I think a neutral would be appropriate.

We should just buy all just buy a bag of wheats and do the same thing.

Title= Common Date Wheat Rolls

I have 100 rolls of wheat cents. I don't know the date in each roll. Grades are mixed between good and fine. These rolls would be great to start a collection. Please ask questions.


Then when someone bids like $200 for my common date roll... I can just say... You should have asked questions.

I say don't leave any feedback at all and learn from this experience to read descriptions carefully and if not sure what you are getting to ask a question of the seller. If the seller does not answer the question at all or is still not clear, move on. There are plenty of good auction sellers.

The seller is wrong for the wording of the title and ddescription not being clear, but the buyer should have asked questions and didn't. Both are at fault, so best option is no feedback at all- especially since the seller can't give the buyer a negative for failing to ask questions. Don't leave any feedback at all.

The auction wasn't for just one roll though. The auction was for 10 rolls. That is what it said. It doesn't matter that he got a good deal. The seller lied or mislead the bidders=negative feedback.

I have sold stuff before that went below market value. If you don't want to risk getting below market value, then set the min bid higher. When you use an auction with a low bid, then you take that chance. I guess I should have just send an email to the buyer... Sorry you didn't bid enough, so I am not going to sell it to you. Would that have been fair?

Read the title and description. Rolls being sold and he says he has 10 rolls. He never says the auction is for only 1 roll. He clearly says the auction is for rolls with roll being plural. Maybe all my education is coming into play, but I am pretty sure plural means more than one. So sending just one roll makes the guy a lair and a cheat.

I would have send him an email asking for the other 9 rolls or left negative feedback/reported it to ebay.

This should have been a dutch auction of 10 available.
I would not have bid on an auction like this but I feel the seller was creative enough to fool your average buyer. I think it might have been intentional but if it were not then he should take the coins back. I wouldn't pay 16 bucks for 5 or 8 VG V nickels and what good are the slickies?
So you might be out $6.00 or less. $3.00 that he shipped and $3.00 to ship them back and agree that it could be easily misunderstood.
A polite email in my messages would be the way to go. If he goes along with a return then do it if you don't want the roll. If he is thick headed and rude, then a negative is in order.
He is pretty clear in this auction that he is selling one roll.

He could have been that clear on this listing for V nickels.
If you write to eBay/paypal they might give you all your money back if you return them.
I like the example of wheat pennies.
If these were described as 10 rolls of pre 60 Jeffersons VF or better, I bet the bidding would have exceeded $16.00.
I myself might have read what I wanted to and bid it up to maybe $30.00 thinking I would get 10 rolls.
Maybe other bidders did ask questions but the seller did not make them public.
I think writing to the seller and returning the coins is the way to go.
Losing $6.00 in shipping and getting $10.00 back at worst, is still better than getting a few halfway decent V nickels for $19.00.
I read his feedback and one of the latest negative he got was replied to. He said this ...
No contact attempted to fix mistake before Neg Feedback. Would've refunded.
