keep in mind, this person has over 2,000 positive feedback and no negs...100%. How would you all handle this feedback. lol.
Seller: "Wow that coin is in a ngc holder you paid less than tha asking price. The pictures are fair.you know you have a no question refund because of e-bays one sided policy's and i can'teven leave you proper feedback.i wish buyers like you would stay st wal-mart where you belong."

first 2 questions that pop in my mind are
are you really returning an item you got a good deal on
and
is the seller really attempting to convince you to not return an item they feel sold too cheap?
sounds like a dream scenario from the seller's point of view.
although if you waited 3 months i could see their surprise, if not, i'm confused as well
.
Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
I doubt I will neg him, as I know everyone can have a bad day. Plus, he/she doesn't know me at all, so why should I take offense to a personal jab. The item in question is an NGC Walking Liberty Half in MS65 - toned...for those of you who would like to see the auction, you know the drill.

I'd love to see the Ebay pic and your 'true color' pic.
It may enlighten us a little.

Seller probably was having a bad day, but his comment was still uncalled for.

Can we really say that anymore without flinching ? More and more that's exactly what it is and ebay want it that way.s far back as 2008 ebay said they intended to be the next amazon and were heading in that direction. Look at it now and tell me is it more like amazon or more like the ebay we all knew and loved ?
<< <i>coin in hand was much darker than pics...he juiced the light a bit when taking the pics. In any event, he is not out anything and I am out two way postage so why does he care if I return it? lol...the overblown reaction is what cracks me up. >>
Not so, your s&h, not your return s&h though, will also be refunded. eBay's buyers protection policy.
<< <i>Leave a Neg and mention that you receive better service at Walmart >>
WalMart will take returns even on clearance merchandise. A former acquaintance once told me he saw F. Lee Bailey at a WalMart store.

<< <i>and i would leave out the part where you accuse the seller of "juicing the lighting" when taking pics. some sellers may find that a bit offensive >>
And some buyers too, obviously.

I agree, but if he gives you any more lip, give him a one way ticket to Neg City.
Also curious if you are buying this for your own collection and plan to hold for awhile, or if you are buying in order to sell pretty soon.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
I for one kind of think the seller was just voicing what most feel is the stacked deck against us when selling on eBay. Would you even think about returning the coin if it had been a Heritage or TeleTrade auction?
Edit to add...Even though I might agree with him I would never come right out and say it on eBay.

Now that's funny.

I usually sell at no min and no reserve (90% of the time anyway), lose money plenty of times on transactions, so I am not being a hypocrite on this subject anyway. lol.
In retrospect, "juiced" is a poor choice of words on my part, as it implies deception. I don't think that, rather I think he was showing the coin with some help with contrast, white light, etc., if that makes sense.

If that is the coin in question, then it is obviously a dark coin that needs a lot of light correctly shown to show the colors

If the linked coin is the coin in question, I wouldn't have bid in the first place.
That the problem.
1. Wrong holder
2. Only "fair" photographs
3. A seller's asking price is irrelevant with respect to a coin's actual quality and value.
4. If all this guy's customers stayed at WalMart, he'd have no business.
5. But you CAN leave them "proper" feedback. I'd be tempted to include their quote from above. Nothing beats the truth.
Amazing they got to 2000 w/o any negs with an attitude like that.
The comment about Walmart was a bit snippy. I happen to enjoy going to Walmart, but some people think that people who go to Walmart have no class.
At any rate I brighten pictures now and then when I think that it provides a better view of the coin.
Now that I've looked into the background I'm surprised he stuck with it long enough to get so much feedback and am also surprised I see no negs.
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
I know the pics weren't great but sometimes I will buy a coin if I think I can see a better coin than the pics show. For the record, I rarely return coins I take a chance on.
But I thought I would return this one since it is SO dark in hand and I don't think I could come close to breaking even with great pics and relisting. When I got his response to my cordial request to return the coin, that's when I thought I would share his funny response.

It doesn't seem professional, but I guess this is the way business is moving.

Well, I agree with you to a degree, and I guess to my own detriment. In this case though, the pics were much darker than the coin in hand. If I had bought it at a show or shop, having the chance to hold it in hand, then I deserve a buyer's remorse fee should I decide to return the coin. I hope that is a justifiable distinction.
Looks like a clear case of buyers remorse. The pics on the auction look quite dark to me, I cant imagine that the coin could have been even darker, or that it would matter. The dealers pics look like they show the coin to be dark, not like he was trying to falsify anything about the coin.
Also the OP has been asked several times to post the pic of the coin as it is, and he completely ignored those requests. Just seems like he bought the coin then decided he didnt want it.
There are valueable lessons in us sharing our experiences.
