I sell on Ebay and have a score of over 1,200. However, this week something happened to me on Ebay that should be a wake up call to all sellers. I sold a silver half dollar. My listing CLEARLY stated that the buyer assumes risk if insurance was not taken by the buyer. A fairly newbie buyer with a score under 35 bought it but did not want to pay for insurance. So I sent the coin as I have done many times before with no insurance. The buyer then claimed not to receive the item. I have a copy of the receipt from the post office showing what I paid to send the coin. However, astonishingly Ebay sided with the buyer and removed the money from my PayPal account which is scary if you think about it. It made me wonder so someone can just create a new account buy something then say they did not get it and possibly get the item for free? I was shocked that they would treat a longtime seller that has made them a lot of money over the years so poorly it just seems like poor business practice IMHO...
I went to Las Vegas and spent a week at Mandalay Bay (One of MGM Resorts nicer properties). It was great. The last time I went to Vegas was in 2010 and back then you could tell Vegas was struggling. However, this time it was bustling with business, Saturday Night (before Easter) the strip was super-packed. I have never seen it like that before and I have been to Vegas many times. MGM looks cheap here, I mean they easily dominate Vegas and have many of the best Vegas properties (Mandalay Bay, Aria, MGM, Luxor, Excalibur, Monte Carlo, Mirage, Bellagio, New York New York, and others) plus properties in other locations as well. Shares seem cheap to me (especially compared to LVS and WYNN), so I picked up some and will buy more if it dips any lower. Things seem to be looking up for MGM, IMHO...
