Look At This 1921-D Merc

This seller is dishonest/shady IMO and I would avoid him altogether.

Yeah, I'd like to know too Shadow. If you are going to rag on a seller, you can at least tell us why.

Nice obverse, reverse is closer to AG than G.
Tough date and worth $50 easy IMO.
Depends on what shadow was talking about?

Dont buy from him. TOOOO MANY NEGATIVE COMMENTS!

Out of over 4000 comments this last year, 35 neutral or negative, the rest positive. I read all of them. Half were BS as far as I could see. He offers a full refund. Not sure what the problem here is. I have bought several items (not from this guy, but making a point) that when I got them in hand I was not happy about. In all cases I returned the items and got full refunds. I left positive feedback because the seller did what they said.

I see nothing obtuse about any of his items, nor does this particular items pics look altered. It looks like a well worn Merc with a number of scratches. I saw nothing but straight on pics for all of his items, no angles or the like. And every description is straight forward... XF 1922 SLQ VERY NICE (MY description as an example). So I am not getting the problem here.

And yes, I read your exchange Shadow. You an dhe had a disagreement over a coin. I am quite sure you and I could have a disagreement about the grade of one of my coins. And I can also assure you I would not be happy about being told I dont know what I am talking about either. So your whole trashing of this guy is based solely on one disagreement you had about a coin that wasnt even one you had in hand. No actual transactions. No receiving of a coin you didnt like and refusal of refund. Nothing at all like that.

It's based on him being a completely unreasonable person, you have no idea how banged up the coin was; it was a cull relatively common coin and that much was obvious from the photo. I didn't post the 'rest' of the conversation' that went on email I believe, which got far worse on his end.

As for the rest of them, I can tell just based on the photos and the descriptions that he's trying to rip people off. I see through it and often notice the problems he tries not to mention. Tricky angles/lightning and such. He's just not an honest person, and unfortunately there are many of these sellers on ebay. Seriouscoins, for example, is top rated seller with 100% feedback. Yet I CAUGHT this guy trying to buy a problem coin from me so he could pass it off as MS-64 because many new ebayers would believe it.

Some sellers are good at feedback manipulation which is why feedback means little in most cases (partly because of ebay policies). Even I don't have the same Top-Rated rating as seriouscoins or this guy on my main account. Why? FIVE out of 600 buyers gave me low ratings in the item as described category; two were revenge, the other three no communication. Yet I don't do any of the dishonest things such sellers do.
