I would agree the seller is perhaps on the abrasive side but that is about all. The entire auction is geared towards someone that already knows exactly what they are buying. Very direct and very blunt. Some might consider it MORE professional. Not more polite, but more no nonsense.

The overtones of "take it or leave it" just weeds out the people that are tire kicking with questions. This might hurt his/her overall customer base numbers.

How hard can you critique someone that prefers to be called "SaggyBritches"?

The auctions that are opposite are the ones that bother me. The ones advertising such as:

Brilliant amazing, super lustrous, mouth watering, chocolate, envious large cent for your collecting pleasure.

( Insert pic of a holed G/VG 1850's Large cent)

That's just me. But remember there are many different comfort zones for buyers.

How can somebody know exactly what they are buying when SaggyBritches doesn't mention which mint the coins are from?

I made an offer of $32.50 just to spite him. People with attitudes like that, and ebay is full of them, don't deserve business, period!

Hahaha, poor guy.. all of a sudden his inbox is going to be packed with offers. Then that exitement will quickly fade when he/she reads that all the offers are less than FACE!

Indeed it is! But on the other hand, sellers quite often make mistakes and list in categories an item doesn't belong. The only reason I'm pretty sure now that these aren't US halves is that I clicked on enlarge picture, THEN I used my computers screen magnifier and saw that one of the rolls read $12.50. I gather Canada must roll 25 coins!
