Bad grading?
As a regular seller of Scottish notes, bigtam67, grades such as, "VERY
NICE COLLECTABLE CONDITION", where the grade of the notes shown varies considerably from lot to lot is very odd. Another grade given is, "SUPER COLLECTABLE CONDITION", which I presume is a higher grade than the previous one. http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...&since=-1&rd=1 He either, 1. Does not know how to grade, or 2. He uses meaningless grades to reduce the possibility of "over graded" notes being returned. Why do people bid on notes with such vague grading descriptions? Many of the Scottish notes pictured have corners that curl up, to me a sign of pressing. As he's only got 1 neg out of 960 I'm probably wrong about all of the above. Billy |

Billy RE vague grading descriptions is a getout if you state VF or EF them could be returned COLLECTABLE CONDITION means everything & nothing I buy off about 10 sellers on ebay normally outside of ebay as I've dealt with them for years More sellers now use such wording as above main reason because they are selliing **** dressed up yours -- michael @ www.worldwidecoins.co.uk main site www.numismatic.biz World Banknotes & Coins eBay Id worldwidecoins http://members.ebay.co.uk/aboutme/worldwidecoins/ |
