I watch almost zero T.V. per week. I just make it up double for my internet usage!

Actually, the best channel on TV is arguably the History Channel: Dogfights, Digging For The Truth, Modern Marvels, The Universe, Man Moment Machine, Human Weapon, Heavy Metal, Mega Movers, Mega Disasters. Doesn't get much better than that!
I get a kick out of those who claim they watch next to none with overtones that somehow makes them better than those who watch it more. There is plenty of great, educational TV. I would have never learned Exactly how carbon dating is done in a lab without it.
So who won the case?
Just imagine--- You could have been having a field day with me!!
I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

I was being fecetious in my response - I watch it every day!

<< <i>Nice Hijack. What was the court case? >>
Ebay seller claiming a MS65 1915 Saint but he only guarantees coin to be genuine/not the grade.
Buyer claims the coin isn't a 65 (there's a shocker). He paid $2600 for a suposed $20,000 coin???
Reality is he got a $800 coin.
Ganz examines they coin and his opinion is a 62 or 63 (I was shocked it wasn't AU cleaned).
The judge ruled in favor of the buyer even though the sellers defense was that he only guaranteed authenticity and not grade.

I do like the History Channel and the Discovery Channel but not enough to go out and get a TV. During my hotel stint I took great pleasure in watching "Lobster Wars."
In answer to the computer question, YES! I blow a huge amount of time wandering the internet.

Wow. That might get the attention of many of the hypsters who sell overgraded crap (and it isn't just on eBay). --jerry

Not likely to be precedent considered case law but perhaps this particular show was the fire under eBay to clean things up in-house....the new rules.

The seller got the coin back AND the balance from the $2000 cap.

<< <i>Television, like many other things, has it's place. It should never become a substitute for life. Remember, TV only entered the family scene in the late '40's... and was truly responsible for the death of the front porch in american architecture. It was all down hill from there. However, even then, the hours of available TV were limited - as was channel selection. Now, people invite guests over for dinner and tv... how sad. There are worthwhile television programs, and certainly provides a useful venue for watching movies (DVD etc). Of course, the majority will continue to vegetate in front of the screen watching mindless drivel. Oh well, their life, however disgusting. Cheers, RickO >>
Geez man, get a life. I can't imagine sitting outside on the porch in the evenings in 95 degree heat with misquitoes swarming all around. People enjoyed that? If folks like to watch TV, and it doesn't hurt you, then who cares?
P.S. For the record, I watch about 4-5 hours of TV a week--if that. Mostly I read and surf the 'net.
<< <i>Wow., For the people that dont watch tv. You must not like sports. >>
That would be me! Playing sports is ok, but watching sports? I cannot imagine anything more boring.
I don't watch but a half hour of TV per year and only that because others in my family watch it.
Internet is another matter....
<< <i>The judge ruled in favor of the buyer even though the sellers defense was that he only guaranteed authenticity and not grade. >>
Legally the seller is probably OK. But on those TV shows the judge will do what they think is "right", not necessarily going by the letter of the law. Score one for the good guys here.
At the end of the show, in the credits it lists something like... The producers take the total amount of the claims by both parties, totals it up, then from this pool pays any judgments to the proper party, the remainder of the money in the fund is divided equally between the parties. In this case the claim was $2600, the judgment was $2000 so the remaining $600 was divided between the defendant and the plaintiff. SO in reality the plaintiff paid $2600 for the coin, was given a $2000 judgment, got $300 from the show, and had to give up the coin. The defendant got the coin back, got $300 for being on the show, and $2600 for the coin in the first place.
Man I want to sell coins and show up on the peoples court, That seems to be the way to make money!
