great dealers........thought you should hear about one

hi all, recently a board member had an item on ebay that i was interested in, but could not come up with the money all at once (he was asking $500.00) i asked if the auction went without bidders, could i pay him the $500.00 in two payments.

he replied that since he saw me on the forum that he would let me have the item for $400.00. i was grateful and sent the $400.00, and he packaged it with another great coin for free in a ngc box, free, and payed for insured shipping out of his own pocket.

i will never forget his kindness, and thought you should know.

his handle is mdwoods, thanks again mark!

    Mark is a good guy, indeed.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Mark is a good guy. We're lucky to have people like him on the forum even though his sense of humor is a little out there. Sorry Mark, I mean way, way, way out there.

    Thanks for your kind words. It was my pleasure. I'm glad your entrance into the boards has been a good one. There are tons of
    super people here. Plus coins, information, and possible contacts. None of us here is perfect, well maybe a couple, but the place is certainly worthwhile. I won't say that about very many things at all. mdwoodsimageimage

    Even though I have not met him yet, but plan to at the ANA, I have formed a very high favorable opinion from his posts and PMs.image

    Now if he had only included an autographed Elvis Impersonation photo......... The guy has a real heart and like a true caped superhero champions the rights of the little guy.

    The member in question is a class act all the way. I say that from transactional experience. imageimageimage

    Truly a great guy, even if he is a millwright.
