$50 price on our heads from Accucr@p...

PhillyJoe

I think they've finally lost their minds (again). Their home page is offering a $50 reward for sending them any negative emails concerning their service. If these threads count, we could all be millionaires!!!
I saw a 1964 Kennedy ACG Proof 70 (a.h. collectible special,what else would you expect) No one wants to pony up the $49 asking price on ebay. I was going to email them; "nice coin, why no returns? why are there so many anti-ACCU web sites, a friend told me an ACG 70 is really a Pr 63 ($5 coin).......... "Why were you banned from the Baltimore show......";the usual questions. THEN I SAW THEIR HOMEPAGE!!!

BBBWWWWAAAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

They were actually uninvited to the Baltimore Show?? Oh man... thats tooo good. You got any details????

Bikingnut

I could turn myself in and get a couple hundred from them.

Of course, you might get the $50/incident but they'd have your name and address. And you never know what might show up some months later....

[cue impending doom music]

Bikingnut

Everyone's entiltled to there own opinions. I guess the bad publicity they have been receiving is really starting to take it's toll. You would think they would get the hint. Anyone know what there web address is?

Tonelover

You get the $50 in credit towards grading. That should have people beating down the doors to claim their reward.

Russ

Man, Joe, I thought you were pulling our legs, but it's true!



<< <i>**$50 REWARD**

A $50.00 credit will be given to anyone who sends us any NEGATIVE e-mails received regarding ACG products and/or owner. Information must have verifiable e-mail address. Credit can be used against any Accugrade certification service you choose. >>



Hager has to be one of the biggest idiots on the planet!

NOTE: To earn your $50 credit, please forward the above to sleazebag@accucrap.com

Using software such as ghostmail, I can make any email look like it's coming from anyone to anyone. I control my own email server so I can create email accounts to my heart's content.

Accugrade's web site. Even after submitting issues, and getting credits, who would submit to them? Especially since it is the people who are complaining who get the credit!

ACG homepage mentioned above Note the link to CoinFacts.com at the bottom of the page.

Then read what is said about them in a PNG survey quoted on the CoinFacts -site. LOL.

Hey, ACG provides one important service: the numismatic world always needs some comic relief now and then.

Russ

You know, if Hager is going to be running around claiming that he is not Accugrade, he should probably remove his name from the title of this page.

Did you see the counter at the bottom of their page??? Less then 23,000 hits in the last 2 1/2 years ROFL!! That is about all you need to know about the interest in their products.

ursabear

Ouch. Owww. Woof.

The HepKitty's website gets more hits...... But which would you rather see, them or Lucy doing the Bop?

PhillyJoe

Well, it won't take a rocket scientist to figure out my motive here. I figure I'll get about a $10,000 grading credit reward for turning in my buddy Russ. I'll put the $10,000 grading certificate on ebay with a starting bid of $5 and a buy-it-now of $10. . Only problem, I might not get any bids.

if these post count I could turn you guys in and buy some realy nice coins (Just joking). myself I don't care what ABCs are on the slab if I like and need the coin I buy it.

They want negative e-mails with verifiable addresses so they can threaten to sue anyone who writes anything bad about them.

I just sent this email:
------------
<subject: $50 Reward>

Hi,

I just saw on your homepage a reward of $50 for the emails of people saying negative things about ACG. Given the First Ammendment of the United States which allows the freedom of speech, whether positive or negative, what do you plan on doing with these addresses? I do have emails to send you, but I am hesitent unless I know your intentions.

Thank you,

Jeremy Katz

Don't worry, guys. I promise not to turn you over the justice system! I'll tell you if I get a reply

keithdagen

Wonder what kind of bounty they would offer if they knew my Coin World Letter to the Editor was originally an e-mail?

PhillyJoe

I'll be in pain if I keep looking at their website; I'm laughing so hard. Go to "About Accu..., scroll down to Vision, "our staff has an average age of 40........ "Guess to be legal they had to talk about birthdays and not grading experience.

My other favorite is the submittal form that lets you assign the grade.

(the constant snickering has tipped off my co-workers that I'm not working)

Well, if anyone is interested go to: http://www.k6az.com/acg.htm "A Close Look at Accugrade" and see my post there. Could be $50.00 in it for you!

I think that site's worth several thosand dollars worth of free grading. Wait, Several Thousand Dollars of FREE Accugrade grading , how much is that really worth?

Why is everybody so surprised by the REWARD offer. We all knew that eventually they would end up having to pay people to use their service, we're almost there.

Agflyer

I know that Accurgrade's attention to detail is lacking, but I laughed when I saw this error on their website ( AGC or ACG???). The 5th point mentions that the "AGC" holder is lighter than the competion's. Don't they even know who they are? Hmm, I wonder, if I email this thread to someone will they be $50 richer? Any takers?

<<<<<Accugrade™ also developed a course entitled "How To Become A Coin Dealer The Professional and Ethical Way."<<<<<
ROFLMAO!!!

<<<<<<Over 500 people took the course, and over 100 became professional coin dealers - and all were taught by Mr. Hager.<<<<<
So does one become a <<<<professional <<<< by being convicted of ripping people off like Mr. Hager was or by having more ACG & PCI slabs on Yahoo than anyone else??

CLASSICS

i met hager many years ago, he was an idiot back then, funny, some things never change.

JJacks

I think most here are missing the point. A $50 CREDIT (NOT CASH!) from ACG is completely, totally and in every way worthless and useless. You would have to pay to ship them your coins, only for them to probably ruin them, and then you would have to pay to have them shipped back. Why on earth would anyone want a free $50 credit from ACG? I wouldn't go for a $500 credit from ACG if Mr. Hagar comes on this thread and personally offers it to me!

I wonder how they'll handle the volume of email contacts? Must be thousands of negative emails and threads about them. It'll take them years (and a lot of cash) to contact everyone who speaks neagtively of them. Probably just looking to get the 'big fish'. On a more positive note why don't they just give their services away free for a few months? That would generate the same amount of business. After all, it's really only about getting more coins into their slabs that matters to them.

Did anyone check the referenced site ACG Can't figure it out

MrLee

I can't believe I looked. I feel so dirty now.
