If this offends, I apologize in advance. . Kappy update !!

I saw yet another kappy coin on ebay listed as BU and just couldn't resist the urge to poke at them a bit (ok, a lot). . the following is my original email to them and their response.


err. . .the non-creative verb (in this case) used in their resonse is blocked out for our more sensitive readers. .



WHY DON'T YOU GO F*** YOURSELF KEN.
WE DO NOT NEED OR WANT YOUR BUSINESS.

> You people just don't know how to grade coins, do you? Has the wear on
George's hair escaped your attention? Why do you falsely list this and
other coins as BU when they obviously have wear? Is it you hope that some
sucker comes along just so you can make a buck off his ignorance of coin
grading and terminology? I have seen many threads regarding the quality (or
lack there of) of your coins and while many people report that they have had
no problems, it is also evident that those same people know what to bid on
and what not to bid on. You've stated in a prior email that you've been in
business for 28 years and I think it's time you made an appointment with
your local vision center. Here is a fact you need to familiarize yourself
with. . .FALSE ADVERTISING IS A CRIME and I'm sure that the laws in MA are
not much differenct than other states regarding this issue. BU (yes,
Brilliant Un-circulated) is not subject to opinion as far as I know. A coin either shows
signs of wear or it does not!
> . Your only saving grace here is that you do post semi-decent photos of the
coin so that reasonably knowledgeable people can tell the difference between
what you say it is and what the coin actually is.
