Wait, what?
What happened?
He got banned a few months ago for a political rant.
If he say sorry and promise not to do it again can he get his membership back?

I would imagine, but don't know if it is the case all the time or even in this instance, that if a longtime member gets banned that they are likely warned multiple times by moderators about their behavior prior to the banning. If that is the case then registering again most likely would not solve the underlying issue(s).

Chris doesn't strike me as the type to be willing to apologize.

I sold a Saint gaudens for $2436. After fees I got $2200. Spot was $2450. I paid the or
iginal seller $2376. Looks like I'm needing to pay $400 under spot to be able to resell on eBay for a profit. That would never get tedious.
Which is why they should only be sold as bullion in a store (4% fees) or wholesale to a dealer. There's only $100 bid/ask spread on Saints. PayPal fees + postage are almost that. Not everythong should be sold on ebay.
This is why I setup at shows. Sold a super PQ 1927 $20 PCGS 64 for $2795 at recent show had picked up at $2300. Super margin - More than Paid my table fee / yay! Do you have anything slabbed like that around BV? Get outta here- $100 margin on Saints Rolf - would tell that tirekicker get lost b4 my assistant levels him.

I would bet he doesn't think he's ever posted anything which might necessitate an apology. (As I recall, he went on a nonstop anti-PCGS diatribe prior to banning, but otherwise was just mostly really stubborn on occasion)

I quit Ebay 2 years ago when they froze my auction sales funds, because they wanted me to supply my S.S. number, so they could report my sales to the IRS (thanks Biden!). I had been selling there since 2000. Good riddance!
Glad the www.USAcoinbook.com worked well for you. I listed a couple of slabbed Roosevelts there but got no bites. Wrong category, I guess. I will try something else next time.

Yes although some just come back as an alternate identity.
