As a collector I always had a love for getting coins that looked better and unique. I realized that always there will be better out there and I cant ever top the tops.. I try though. Which coins do you really get good love from? Is it one nickel that you can't live without!? As you see, I sell what I collect. I need to pay bills also but I hate parting with most of my stuff

Personally, I enjoy Buffalo nickels and Lincolns
I've owned some monsters. Maybe not in the highest condition but some that would bedazzle...

What do you have to show
I have been offered some great money for my stuff. I however feel like I cant leave a lot of it!

If there was one coin that if someone says here is one million over, you wouldnt sell what would it be and why!

    I would gladly sell any or all of my coins for $1 million.

    Nothing is as expensive as free money.

    Perhaps some introspection is in order here. Or at least read the comments on your other threads to understand why many here, myself included, likely don't want to engage. I wish you the best of luck with your thread here as well as your business. Goodbye.

    I am a poor person (financially) so all my coins are sellable. Having said that my 1807 Bust Half would be my last to go. That is because in 45 years my wife has only once said, "Can I see that?", while talking about a coin. I have joked before that my first thought was she was a pod person (Had been replaced by aliens who put duplicating pods in peoples basements), an old movie reference.
    The stupid thing is this is the only coin in my collection someone else selected without any input (except for money) from me. A vest pocket dealer I use to meet with regularly informed me one day he was moving to the West Coast to try his luck there. He claimed he owed me one. Told me to give him what money I could and he would find me a coin that would blow my socks off. I gave him 375 dollars and promptly forgot about it. 2 or 3 months later I get this gorgeous Drape Bust Half with iridescent rainbow toning on the front and deep cobalt blue and gold on the back in the mail. Took me an hour just to figure out where it came from. James

    And I would kiss a painting or photograph of P. T. Barnum all the way to the bank.

    It's an issue of trust and confidence. You created a lot of threads about you being kicked off eBay, mentioned not providing shipping details and yelling at customers instead of providing customer service.
    I wouldn't trust a merchant like that.

    The substantial truth doctrine is an important defense in defamation law that allows individuals to avoid liability if the gist of their statement was true.

    I provided customer service. I did have a small few instances of people who did claim the item didnt arrive

    Even members here got what they paid for

  • nexlevelnmxnexlevelnmx Posts: 335 ✭✭✭

    Otherwise every item gets delivered (see the ebay feedback!). I was one person doing a ton of shipments

    If your concerns are not rhetorical, here is a possible answer and remedy:

    You appear here looking for a "second chance" without really asking for it directly.

    Your earlier excuses of poor business practices didn't wash with the facts eBay and many here provided to you.

    I suppose if you were to admit to your failings and then promise yourself not to travel down
    that road again others may well slowly warm up to you.

    Without that or any evidence you've learned from your errors in judgment, you leave no choice but
    for collectors to engage with dealers who do follow a code of conduct worthy of their time and money.
    (I provide this as I think you can turn the ship around, so to speak.)

    Godspeed with whatever path you decide to take.

    When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

    So here is the problem nex. Basically you are saying on a massive coin forum with nothing but serious buyers that “Even members here got what they paid for”. Then you say “otherwise items get delivered”. The thing is, there are trusted sources and dealers for buying all types of coins where there is no question or reputation worries where a buyer will get their coin. Now, I’m sure you will provide the coin with payment as well, but in the overall outlook, you have unfortunately hurt your own reputation with your previous postings. The group here has moved on from you and the approach.

    I’m truly trying to help here. You should consider a complete reboot, both with your statements, and maybe even on another venue. Reputation is very important as a dealer. Word of mouth is the biggest thing a dealer can establish. I’ve looked at your website (which is good because the controversy caused a lot of us to look at your offerings) but there are some “unusual” pricing on certain items, and frankly it doesn’t look very professional. Every normal item on your inventory can be purchased from a trusted and professional source for less money than your listed price (though not necessarily saying you wouldn’t sell it for less).

    I think you may want to reevaluate the approach, remember that reputation for you has been hurt here on the forum, and consider how to repair that. It will take some major changes, both with attitude and approach. But, I’m thinking you may need a new audience, as you have not helped yourself at all here on the forum.

    Why do you this happened? There is no vendetta against you. It is strictly based on rules of the venues that apparently you are not following. Etsy has no idea who you are personally, so obviously something went wrong. The only person that could have done that, unfortunately, is you.

    I do definitey uphold that and will exceed what I may have been lacking earlier..

    I agree and due note I work on a phone which does make it harder to properly do things with perfection. Typos do happen but I always rectify

    I just mass uploaded my inventory
    Which I do seriously discount upon your offers.
