Now, this kind of stuff really irritates me.

$18 worth of coins now over $52. Why? Because in the auction description the sellers says "1964 PROOF SET , THE KENNEDY HALF DOLLAR HAS A HEAVY HAIR DO", meaning the Accented Hair. Why does this irritate me? Because she knows it is not.

When this auction first went live, I had her send me a closeup of the proof JFK. When I thanked her for sending it, she eMailed back and specifically asked if it was the Accented Hair variety. I told her it wasn't, yet she made no effort to be forthcoming in the auction.

    I agree with you Russ, you try and do the right thing and the sell just wants the $$$$. If the buyer complains they can say i never said it was an AH....image
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Sorry i don't know anything about these things how does one tell the difference between an AH? and a regular cut so to speak?

    have you reported her to eBay for FRAUD?
  • IrishMikeIrishMike Posts: 7,737 ✭✭✭
    She never claimed they were accented hair, she wrote something stupid about heavy hair. If someone is stupid enough to bid on those coins given that lame write up and poor scans why should I care? Someone please enlighten me.

    Neptune,

    The problem is that by phrasing the listing the way she did, she avoided crossing the line in to fraud. She could simply claim that by "heavy hair do" she just meant the coin has a good strike. Plenty of people already think that's what creates an Accented Hair variety.
