  • Keets,

    This thread is really a little too much IMO. His comments in the other thread and any criticism or support he gets there should IMO be limited to that thread.

  • I don't see where Dorkkarl has raised a stink and to be honest,The one thing I do know is when He has something to say he will say it.

    edited to say......I look for DK's posts for just that reason.

    I disagree!

    I'd do business with DK but it would be cash-only and I'd still make him sign the 488 page Buy Agreement that I had Anaconda draw up for me.imageimageimage

    gee, thanks a lot guys. image only 40% of you would do business w/ me?

    of course, i probably do business w/ less than 5% of the dealers out there....

    i guess what your saying is that i would do better doing business w/ myself than w/ somebody else??? image

  • I don't think I'd do business with anyone on this forum except for cash in advance.

    My input, on the ethics thread, in case y'all don't read it, as follows:

    Let us relax a little, step back and....

    Before there were 'Dealers' there were Collectors. The 'Business' is a result of the Customer....the Collector.

    If the 'Business' shams the Customer, you get what you give.

    To those 'Dealers' that take offense; you need to police yourselves, because we, the Collectors, are well aware of the number of ethical 'Dealers' in the 'Business'. Unfortunately we are still at the mercy of the scam artists. We would like to trust the 'Dealers', but that is a trust that is EARNED. Respect is given initially, but to re-inforce respect, it must be EARNED.

    But let us relax. Forums such as this give us, the Collectors, much needed information to prevent us from being shammed, and leaving the HOBBY. And we thank you all.

    There ought to be a code of conduct, a charter, for both Dealers and Collectors, defining our mutual interests and responsibilities. But there isn't one.

    So we need you, the Dealer, to help us weed out the scammers. We love the Hobby, we want to stay. We will not be happy if we are subjected to being shammed, and that includes over pricing, over grading, fraud......etc.

    If you profit by the Collector, that's okay. But if you are greedy, we, collectors and dealers alike, don't want you in the Hobby. Go to beanie babbies, or some such. Let us continue doing what we've done for centuries, collect.

    Thank you,
    A Coin Collector

    Dorkkarl doesn't cloak himself behind layers of hypocrisy. I may disagree with him, on occasion, regarding his "politics" but would trust him wholeheartily with any business/coin dealings.
