Favorite Ebay listing excuses...

You need a good photo/scan (and maybe some description) to help you visualize a coin offered on Ebay. You don't always get it.

1.) Coin looks muuuuch better than the photo (yeah right...you thought the photo wouldn't show the defects)

2.) Image of the reverse only (I can't afford another 15 cents to show you the dinged up side of this dog)

3.) Is that a photo of coin or a BB (self explanatory)

No doubt you've got some favorites of your own....

    The lint you see is on the scanner, not the coin. image

    Tom, I should have known somebody beat me to it...such a good subject.

    How about...scanner can't capture all the magnificent colors blah blah blah?

    Wait a minute....I've used that one myself.

    "EF for type"

    Read as "Grades fine but I want EF money for it!"

    "Professionally cleaned"

    Polished beyond recognition.

    And then there are the big lies, especially:

    "It was not harshly cleaned."
