Would you consider this statement to be BS?

From an eBay listing that also has a huge load of hype about how "rare" the coin is (1995 Kennedy proof).

    I don't think a true collector would say we have three in stock.

    Yep, I'd say that qualifies. But I also know how rare the silver 1999 jfk is. It's bound to be worth millions someday.

    I prefer my return policies to read more like this: "Return the coin within 7 days for refund. No questions asked."

    I'd have to agree with Clankeye on this one!

    "tell us why" does sound a bit like you're getting set up for something you won't like. Like clankeye, a no-questions-asked return policy is far and away the best.

    3 1995 JFK proofs = lucky. I don't think so. Now 3 1933 $20 gold pieces, that's lucky.
    Buy the coin...but be sure to pay for it.

    Clank & Russ - Maybe the collector/dealer in question is lonely and wants to enter into some lengthy conversation. Perhaps someone should tell him or her to join the Forum. In that way perhaps , we will no longer have to explain why we dont like one or more of his coins. Bearimage

  • I offer a excellent return policy and I guess you could say no questions asked, as far as I won't try and swindle you into keeping it, but I like to ask why it was returned for my own information and knowledge about that coin and the particular likes and dislikes of the person returning the coin.

    In my experience, dealers are more likely to stand behind their coins than collectors for this reason, the dealer has a business doing this, but the collector is mainly trying to eliminate duplicates and reinvest the proceeds. How many times have you seen private parties selling coins from an estate or some such thing, and allow no returns? Most dealers have no real problems with returns as they have lots of other customers that might potentially want the coin. Certainly this is not a generalization of all collectors or dealers, but it seems to me that a person running a business is more likely to offer a return policy than a person just selling one thing. When was the last time you asked for a return priviledge at a garage sale?

    They could just ship you the exact same one back- may only have 1 in stock image

    Russ,
    I also prefer the "return within X days for a full refund..." but if I was selling a ton of coins on eBay I'd want to know what made someone unhappy with an auction if for any reason, just so as not to repeat the "mistake".

    It is kind of fishy though to have three of those scarce (and a little expensive, as far as Kennedies go) coins in a "collection" and not an "inventory".

  • Yes.. Morris does have a return policy. I have used it twice. Morris has asked me to be really careful before bidding and now that I am careful I dont bid b/c if its not what I think it is, I would feel funny about returning it. But Morris is really a straightforward good guy.
    HAVE A GREAT DAY! THE CHOICE IS YOURS!!!!
