I'm sick of....

People putting proof/mint sets on ebay and being sent a random set and not the one pictured.

I even asked the seller if I was getting the one shown.

*grumble

It's not worth the negative to me I would get for retaliation.

Yes stock photos are a problem. Especially if the set shown is a scarcer variety. I will not bid on stock photo auctions. Beings as he said he would send you the set in the picture you should ask him why he did not? Some sellers may think that you won't know the difference. I certainly would let hem know of my dissatisfaction. If you want to post a negative just until the last minute possible and then leave it, when he does not have time to retaliate.

i have bought and sold a lot of proof and mint sets and I too dont like to get a random set and even returned a set that i was sent from an ebay win it was an ugly set while the pic was a nice white set the seller made it right though, i dont bid on or sell stock pic items either.,

Ever notice how many stock photos happen to be a very nice looking set? I'm sure it's just an accident that it happens that way. I know of one seller whose stock 1964 proof set photo just happens to have a nice looking Accented Hair Kennedy in it.

and I bet that dealer is in Ohio!

I understand your point, but there are dealers who deal in lots of proof sets. They sell average proof sets and use average stock photos. It never hurts to send a question to the seller, if they use stock photos just move on.

I wish E-Bay would let you put an exclude seller list in searches!

Not having enough coin money to cover all my wants.

I've sworn off buying proof sets from ebay a couple of times, and I occasionally get suckered back into it.....

Color me guilty...

I sold 40 2004 silver proof sets around this time last year... I went through all of the sets, and other than one having two COAs, they were all practically identical. I stated in the auction the set shown was an example set. I *did* show a wide shot of all 40 sets in a box. I don't have the time and energy to photograph every widget! No one took me up on the ten day return policy.
