I agree.
I suppose if skier is that bothered by the coin he could send it in to PCGS on the guaranty. I'm not advising he do that, just suggesting it is an option. When it comes back graded the same, then he can fight with PCGS.

Wouldn't you agree that it's gotten quite a bit off track. Here's my progress tracking.
eBay -> Bad Seller -> Bad Buyer -> Name Calling -> Something About a shovel -> Hitler & Nazis -> Monty Python -> 100 posts -> David Hall Gumbo -> Poof?

Actually, you are wrong about this as well. The Nazi party in Germany never got more than 50% of the vote, except for maybe the very last election, which was rigged. The only time Hitler ran against anyone, where his name was actually on the ballot, he lost to Hindenberg. So it's a poor analogy, and it isn't even historically correct.
I think you were wrong with the ebay situation as well, but since you don't really want anyone's opinion, and just wanted to complain about a seller, I'll leave you to it.
Gotta admit, that was a fun thread to read through. And kudos to everyone for making nice by the end.
PS-HighRelief, you commented that 81-S is a date/mint that usually comes with nice contrast/cameo....not true!, 81-S in true cameo is a rare find, as they usually look more like the one debated in this thread (i.e. drab). That doesn't mean there aren't some killer cameo 81-S's out there, but they're far less likely to have true cameos than 79-S, 80-S and even 82-S.
Isn't this half the story? Did the seller not make it clear in the auction that refund was not part of the deal? Read the auction terms carefully. Some sellers are not into running an approval service and will make this clear in their auction terms.

I have a high profile business and am continulously exposed to the general public. I am frequently in the newspaper or on television.

If you work with newspapers and televisions and express your points there the way you have on these forums (condescending, arrogant, and obtuse), I'm surprised you ARE still in business.

Unless you are a doctor. In which case a little condescension is tolerated, if not celebrated. Adds to the mystique.

I must have been very fortunate then to have found my 1881-S if what you say about finding them in true cameo is a rare find.
