Just a little side story on ebay buyers...I used to be more involved in buying/selling old coins. As you might assume, price is highly dependent on condition and its condition grading. Often the condition is certified by a professional service, sometimes not.
So, savvy buyers scour ebay for stuff that they think are under-graded. And they look for ungraded coins that aren't presented well, like because of a bad pic.
So, they buy the coin.
Then they immediately re-list it with the improved presentation and a description saying it will likely grade higher if certified. Sometimes they sell. But if they don't sell...they just file for a return and say it "wasn't as described" because of an imperfection they didn't see on the listing.
Its a great method...you're basically borrowing someone's inventory and seeing if you can sell at a higher price. If you can't, just return it.
It's BS. eBay has made selling really shitty.
