Good experiences you have have with board members

IrishMike

Its been awhile since we posted some of the good experiences we have had with other members of the forum. We are always welcoming new members by telling them what a great group this is, so why not be a little more specific. I received this coin a few weeks back from a member and he is shy and a lock to be embarassed if I mention his name, so I won't. He sent me the 1866, see how nice it matches up with the 64L two doors down.





The 66 is a tough date to find this nice.

braddick

My latest, just this past week have included Bennybravo; Paseo, Michael Dixon, Numish, TBT, and about five or six others. Each and every one of them has been stellar- all successful.
In fact, thinking about it now- I've NEVER had a poor experience dealing with ANYONE on these Coin Forums!
Where else could a collector find those odds?

-Great bunch of people here, no doubt.

stman

If you are talking about business transactions I've dealt with Tonelover and Gsaguy. Both parties problem free transactions and a pleasure to do business with.

Russ

The other day I got three PCGS PR69DCAM commemorative halves in from three different sellers. Two were returned for haze and dip residue in the fields. The third was one of the cleanest, nicest I've seen from the series, a very PQ 69 - it came from TheNumish (Jay).

Russ, NCNE

IrishMike

Any kind of business or other, but no monkey-business.

airplanenut

All of them!

Lots with LordMarcovan, Michael Dixon, its4real, baseball, itsnotjustme, hookedoncoins, and others that I am forgetting

I've met TomB and plan to see him again soon, as well as DaveG and martyF, if possible, at the same time I am also building sites for: Michael Dixon, LordMarcovan, Braddick, and Coinspector (he's not here too much).

No problem deals with board members:

Strat
Tonelover (a truly EVIL person though)
GSAguy (only partly EVIL)
Caitlin
BigD5

stman

Have also had extensive pm's with fellow collectors on this board. There are some very astute people here in this hobby. And they are always willing to give opinions and discuss coins. Some that come to mind: Dog97, Michael, Oldcameoproofsguy,Tonelover, Gsaguy and more. Hope I haven't left anyone out.

I too have done transactions with paseo.I done transactions with spooly,PQ Peace,DWJR,Andy007, and a few others to numerious to mention.All have been very mutually beneficial.IMHO I think they will say the same.

Dog97

There's too many to make a list because I know I'll leave somebody out so I'll just mention the last one. Solid gave me this nice toned dime in a Sample Slab. Thanks again Solid!

gmarguli

Tonelover (a truly EVIL person though)

Totally agree.


GSAguy (only partly EVIL)

Well, he kind of looks like an evil genie.

OK, so they're both REALLY nice guys.


I had a great experience with tjennings. I went to his house, he packed up all his coins, gave them to me, and thanked me for coming. You can't beat that!

BlueCole

As far as advice? Tons. Russ, Dimeman, jtryka, andy007, alabmom(how was the book? finish it yet?) cacheman, and a bunch of others i havn't mentioned (the heiress wants my attention, so my time is short. . . .

B.

LanLord

I really like that 1866 cent. That is plain gorgeous.

coinguy1

I have had many enjoyable interactions (through PM's and on the board, itself) with several forum members. I have also had a few transactions, none of which were problems.

GaCoinGuy

I have dealt with several.............LordMarcovan, HookOnCoins, JohnsCoins, MichaelDixon, Dukie101(he even sent some coins before I had paid for em) to name a few.....all have been superb transactions, have done trades and swaps with several others........in the swaps, I always seem to get way more than I send out.



You are all a great bunch of guys and gals!

Bikingnut

I received a beautiful 53S Washington from baseball this week. PCGS MS 65 White.

LucyBop

I know this post is about transactions between board members, but Lucy has to say I have had good experiences with everyone on all the threads on this board and I am glad to be here. Flame wars, Trolls, whatever, thanks Collectors Universe, for giving us a place to come to, discuss, agrue, debate our favorite subject...COINS! Perferably Franklins!

kranky

I know I'll forget some, but I've dealt with Monstavet, Tonelover, dragon, OsirisII and some others without a single problem. I've met PTVETTER, Trime, vam44, coinguy1, griffin6, and kieferscoins in person and they are all first-rate people. I'm looking forward to meeting merz2, flying56eagle, goose3, tootawl, and others at the Baltimore show in a couple of weeks.

The only time I had a bad experience was when I did a deal with someone from the Sportscard forum and it took me three months and threats of mail fraud charges to get my stuff back. Over here in the world of coins, nothing but smooth sailing.

ursabear

Hmmmm....
I've dealt with Russ (a very fine transaction all 'round. He's a great guy.)
gmarguli - a fine fellow (he won't admit it, and he says he's Mean & Evil™, but he's a great guy, too).
mnmcoins - a great person who follows through with folks
a2labmom/labmom - simply marvy - can't ask for better
wondercoin - nice coins, nice folks - great all around
And probably a few others that I don't know the mapping from eBay to CU forums... (Sorry if I forgot anyone ) )

Advice? Lots of good folks have stepped up to the plate to answer, cajole, amuse, educate, and help. I wish I could sit here and name them all...

Mikey

Wayne Herndon has been great.

a2labmom

I have had numerous transactions with numerous board members. The most recent ones were involving the state quarters I posted I wanted to buy. The board members (hounddog, rover, typetone, stockford) really came through for me. I got some really awesome coins at really awesome prices. I have also dealt with LordMarcovan, spinnaker2000, ajaan, wybrit, hookedoncoins, lanlord, michaeldixon, bruce, gacoinnewbie, darkhorse, 1jester, shortdj (who I also met in person), moursund, thenumish, fairlaneman, johnscoins, mrpaseo, bgman, fc57coins, doubledime, kryptonitecomics, aethelred, skyrider, harpoon, danarchy, prooflike, bluecole (still haven't finished that book yet but working on it), twodollardon, rick15jk, itsnotjustme, airplanenut, rampage, luvdawgs, ursabear, dbstrader2, mongoose, traderbobz, redscorpio, njmark, monstavet, markovii, maccoin, russ, bstat1020, RGL, Pushkin, coinfinder, canadiancoinguy, laserart, TCiccone, DIMEMAN, PTVETTER, quattrocoins, Phoenix, rtgjeg, nivek, santelia, mact, jtdorsey, Geoff, keithdagen, muchogrande, kieferscoins, madeddie, ritchiewan, CarlWohlforth, WhiteTornado, sumnom, dheath...just to name a few. I am sure I have missed some folks I have dealt with and I apologize for missing your name in my little list. Each and every transaction I have had with fellow board members has been fantastic. The people here are very professional and courteous. I never think twice about dealing with members of the boards, whether it is here on the boards or through eBay. This place is great!

dpoole

Wonderful experiences here, without exception. Few are more generous than spooly and michael.

PQpeace

mrpaseo. Yesterday, I passed to another forum member the "how to post a link" knowledge that you gave to me a year or two ago. You taught me how to "cut and paste". Thanks, again.

mbbiker

So far i have only bought/traded with a few people the ones i remember are LordMarcovan, and TheNumish, (Numish one of the best sellers/traders on this site!!!) All have been great

wingedliberty

The ones that I have had good dealings with are
Clankeye (Carl) and Colorfulcoins (Craig). These are the only two that I have had transactions with
and both have been great. I am unaware of any others, knowingly.

Brian.

CarlWohlforth

Yes, I agree, this is a fine place.

I've had many great experiences and no bad transactions. Thanks everybody!

And thanks also for sharing your knowledge. That is much appreciated.

Fairlaneman

Brian:

You will add to your list if you stay as the high bidder on My Franklin that is on Ebay.

Ken

Clankeye

Brian (wingedliberty) is already high on my list. Beyond just having a transaction with him, I have enjoyed getting to know him through PM's. I sold him a coin and he was generous enough to answer by sending me one free. A class act.
I have had great transactions with Keithdagon, Quarterjack, Braddick, Monstavet...
But really important are some of the great communications I have had with members like Keets, Coinguy1, Gsaguy and many more of you whom I hope to continue to get to know better.

MrLee

I've only bought from a few here, the latest being strat, at two different shows.
Picked this up last weekend from him.
A real nice MS-63 Lib Nick.

nucklehead

I've dealt with a few in person like Shiroh, great to deal with again anytime. Strat who I will be dealing many more times in the future.as he is a fair no pressure dealer and has great coins to see at shows he attends.There are also great folks here as well that I've never read anything bad about.

Wisconsin

My latest favorite coin has come from coinguy1. It was a super nice 1799 draped bust dollar graded XF40 by pcgs. The coin is wondeful and the customer service from Pinnacle Rarities is OUTSTANDING!!!
I was looking for a nice dollar for my type set and sure am glad I waited for this one to come along. coinguy1 was very helpful to me in my search for this coin, and I will definately be back for more.

halfnut

I have had nouthing but good eperiences from my follow board members:

Russ - Thanks for the nice Proof I won in your giveaway

LW - Yes LW - nice 90 D Kennedy at a great price

Billharkey - Three great coins

Bcsican - 11 great coins that jump started my MS Kennedy set

RJB - 2 more great coins

Many others that gave good avice to my questions though P. M. 's

Not enough room ( or memory for that matter) to list all the fine board members i've had the pleasure of dealing with here.
FREE WEALTH to be gained here on the boards, it's called ADVICE!
Thanks to all that have helped along the way.

Dave

Gilbert

Tangibles aside, I've had wonderful experiences (welcomes, advice, debate, support, criticisms, direction, recommendations, and on and on) from a great many members, particularly in and around the time I first joined the forum. I 've conducted few transactions, but those I have particpated in were extremely pleasing with only one exception, and even that transaction wasn't totally displeasing.
I would like to call of a few names and apologize for those "board names" I can't recall. I wish I had a detailed list, such as Mr. P, but I don't so I'll try a rely on my fading memory.

Dog97, Askari, Bohica, Spooley, Kranky, Merz2, TomB, Pmh1Nic, Treedoc, Grip, BRDude, Wondercoin, Smprfi, Maddogale, Intocoins, (The BuffNic "Gal" whose boardname escapes), MadEddie, BigE, LilDeb, and many others. He11, even CoinCob was once a decent contributor.
