Please tell me your opinion on this.

First I want to say, that this is not top class coins, just inventory that I was getting rid of. But did I not make it clear on what was for sale? Please give your advice on the wording, and if a refund is deserved. Thank you.

Please excuse this, due to the fact that I am new at this forum stuff, and I'm not really sure how to attach stuff yet, so this might not work.

You said exactly what you had- a high reserve in my opinion, but someone was willing to pay the price, therefore there is no refund due.

I take that back... reserve seems fair for the grades... I wasn't thinking and assumed all G-s

What's your question? The bidder obviously didn't read the listing - he made several sub-reserve bids on an auction where the reserve was clearly stated. With coins described as AG and "with corrosion" how can there be any claim of improper disclosure.

Well since the picture was useless I assume the buyer read the ad and saw all of the words. "cleaned", "ding", "corrosion" etc. and bid anyway.

What's his complaint - they weren't correded enough?

Pasted copy of email I got.

hi david, i just opened my indians i bought from you and am wondering did you get our orders mixed up, because this order is nothing like i expected, you stated that this would be a good start on a set, but david there are like 6 different dateds that make up over 50% of the lot (59), i would love to send them back if you are willing, looking forward to working this out with you, thanks henry.

I would say if you don't want a neg you should take the coins back but his complants are pointless because everything he didn't like about what he got was listed in the auction. the only reason anyone should be asking to return this lot is because they don't know how to read.

edit for spelling

airplanenut

You sent him what you said you sent, and your description is accurate. Since you make no mention of a no questions asked return policy, I don't believe you need to take them back. Advise him to check the contents against the description and see what he says.

I actually counted the coins you had listed, and if you sent him those coins he has no right to complain about how many of each year he got. Your list adds up to 91 coins, just as advertised. But, I agree with mbbiker... there's not much you can do for him, he's obviously illiterate. Maybe you should just avoid the neg and let him return them.

Too bad people have to be that way.

Either give him a refund, or ...


Henry,

I'm sorry to hear you think the coins were not "what you expected", but they are exactly what you agreed to buy. I provided a comlpete inventory by date and grade, as well as identifiying all of the culls, cleaned and coroded pieces in the set. Under these circumstances I'm afraid I cannot offer a refund since I delivered the set that was clearly and acturately described.

50% of 59 is 29 and if I pick 6 of the most common dates listed they don't add up to 29 so the buyer is wrong. They actually add up to 21 which is a little less than 30%.

I guess you could take the high road and allow a return as you never stated a return policy in your auction. In truth, I don't think there is any confusion based on your description. It is all from the buyer and I don't know what they were thinking. The only thing I didn't like about your auction, aside from no return policy listed, is that you say there are many key date IHCs in the group and my definition of a key date does not include any of the dates you listed. Do what you feel is the right thing.
