    What is the deal with the OP's fetish for exclamation marks?

    If he wants to make miniature paper cutouts of them then sprinkle them on his wife as a form of foreplay that's his prerogative but on a coin forum one per sentence is enough to get the point across.

    Looks like another purchase from ebay's hsturn

    My first and last purchase from him resulted in a return of all eight commemoratives.

  • Mingot - No, I returned the coin to him and there were no problems with the return, so I couldn't really fault him there. This was years ago, and I've come across his coins often over the years and they always have the same look as the one I bought. They look great in the photos - almost too nice.

    Wow...looks like we could start an alumni association! I still have the cleaned LI I bought from him...no I did not neg him, I should have known better and there was nothing really misleading in the wording of the auction except for maybe the stock photo.

    Really stumped as to why no one, even in hindsight, thinks that a negative would have been in order.

    I mean, everyone is here giving "negative feedback" on the PCGS message board, but no one thinks it would have been appropriate to do the same through the ebay feedback system.

    Sellers, you guys hate the feedback system because a single round of low DSRs or negative screws your fee rebate and as a buyer I think it's near useless because everyone is almost afraid to give an honest negative. It would be really nice if feedback was decoupled from fee percentages and people were encouraged to actually be truthful.

    Here is a good example of where a seller probably deserved a negative, but I just skipped feedback all together because I didn't want to kick the guy in the teeth and cost him fees: Seller advertises a war nickel as "bright white". Ships yellow coin. A few emails back and forth and it ends up as "it turned in the holder, sorry." At this point I've tied up my money on a misrepresented coin, wasted six bucks shipping it back, and wasted thirty dollars of my time (hey, it's what I would make at the office for the time i had to spend driving to the post office and shipping the thing back), and at the end had nothing. But still, I didn't want to neg the guy because he was a fairly high volume seller and it wouldn't have been fair in the grand scheme of things. It's a pretty crap system all around.

    My guesses are
    1) Ebay
    2) Mail order

    But they saved money by not buying form a B&M already slabbed!

    It could be that the submitter himself cleaned them up for the trip to pcgs, after all, they might have had distracting red, blues and greens all over them-----------------------BigE

    With 14 neutrals, 7 negs, and 35 feedback revisions. Probably a bunch more who wanted to neg, but weenied out. Plus that feedback percentange is based only on the last 12 months, not the entire 65,000 feedback history.
