    Tactics of shilling 101:

    Divert the conversation away and try to force others to believe you are right.


    Seems most of us only have a concern that poe is a major f' of a dealer and works very underhandedly.
    Most also posted they would never bid on such a deceptive auction.
    It was poe's defense of his tactics and your defense of him that have gotten people to call names.

    kittyfish, I could care less if you believe what I believe or anyone else believes. You've shown your colors as a shill for poe.
    As for the "masons".....I could care less about that too....until you posted that though, and when you just posted the portion of belonging to the same org, I was going to guess KKK.

    You must enjoy defending things that are beyond defense to continue posting in this thread......
    1) Poe's tactics are irreputable and beyond defense
    2) Your defense of poe is sad and beyond defense
    3) Your "holier than though" attitude is beyond defense
    4) Being a shill for poe like you are is beyond defense
    5) Dude, you just plain suck

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  • I am not now nor have I ever been a shill for Poe. Shilling is against eBay policy. Those policies are viewed with great exception here because people openly discuss other violations of eBay policy here to the point of bragging about it. ie Bid Snipers and feedback extortion to name a couple.

    I've only read portions of this enormous thread, however, it strikes me as being eerily similar, in certain ways, to the old aswimmer and dwood thread from about two years ago. In the current scenario we have Poe58 playing the part of aswimmer and catfish172 playing the part of dwood. Does anyone else see the similarities?

    I went through a number of coins purchased by Poe's buyers. I was sort of surprised that most every one was reasonable. Poe consistently grades one grade high but his buyers seem to realize that. There are both newbies and oldies there. A lot of the auctions sell for under $10.00. Saw an AG-VG bust dime go for $8 plus postage. Seemed reasonable. I cannot tell if the coins are damaged, bent, etc. as the scans are pretty bad. But the customers seem happy. Try as I might to find more cleaned coins and burials, I could not. Maybe Poe is not the cad we make him out to be. He's way off base on the seated quarter sold and those SLQ's, but the cheap stuff he sells seems to satisfy his customers. After all, 25 years of ANA experience is hard to beat.

    He doesn't have 25 years of ANA experience. He has 25 years of collecting experience. This is a one transaction occurance of this nature. I have been working with him on a hosting method that he could do higher resolution scans. He is not nearly computer literate as I am and he's as I've said stubborn towards learning new ways of doing things.

    How to crash the Mason's:




    The Secret Handshake

    It’s a regular handshake, except you press your forefinger hard into the other person’s palm. The thumb presses against the base joints of the second and third fingers.

    The Secret Password

    Tubal-Cain is the secret password of a Master Mason (some lodges have their own passwords)

    The Secret Word

    Not to be confused with the password. The Word is so secret that initiates are taught it one letter at a time. First the learn, A, then O, then M, and finally I. The Word is IAOM

  • Mr. Poo and Mr. fishcat are back! Maybe they're not fried yet!!!
  • Since the ANA came back with a lower grade than advertised, it behooves POE to refund the money.
    Catfish, I am also a Past Master of my lodge, and believe me, in the Masons as in any organization
    there are ethical and unethical people. Poe in my opinion after reading this thread belongs in the
    latter category.

    << <i>Hello >>

    If you intend on sticking around, I wonder if you would comment on my post. It's somewhere in the 300s, and catfish said it was the "best statement in the thread". If you're serious about this, I'd appreciate a response.

    I would've refunded 12 pages ago myself if for no other reason than to make it all go away. This thread only describes one transaction. A transaction which Poe still believes he is right<I do not, I fully believe this was an honest mistake> I do not believe for a minute one transaction warrants a judgement of unethical. In this thread I am merely giving my points on the matter and am not on an errand. Since poe still believes he is right and on the grading issue he believes it is impossible to receive results that fast. For those reasons he will continue to stand his ground.

    Sorry if I confused 25 years of ANA experience with 25 years of collecting experience. You would think both would tend to indicate that a person KNOWS something about coins. I have yet to meet a 25 year collector who consistently was off by one grade ALL the time.
    Even the grading services undergrade once in a while!

    Sorry Poe58, I just don't buy your story. No one here on the forum is looking to scam you out for $50. What's the point?? You made a bad decision and decided to play damage control. You have probably already wasted far more than $50 and had hundreds of dollars of damage done to your reputation. Way to go. You cut off your nose to spite your face.

    ....still waiting on how you figure that 1927 SLQ is a FULL HEAD....I gotta here this one....we're all waiting.

  • Hello
    I am delighted to see that so many people feel they have the right to judge even the right to condemn! I can correctly assume that you all are learned scholars elevated to this position based solely on your qualifications. I also see some people passing on things they know nothing about! I do not remotely believe that Little Matt has had the coin I sold him graded. He hasn't had enough time to do so. Please continue your attacks on me. The reason is simple. In that way I might spare someone else. I have refunded buyers moneys in the past simply because I felt they were sincere in there desire. Matthew did not want to return the coin. He wanted some of his money refunded and to keep what he calls a worthless coin. “I am sure your 100% feedback rating is worth at least that much?” I believe is the way he put it. Well some times you get the Bear and sometimes the Bear gets you. I will not yield to a simple con man. For some reason he has learned that this behavior is an acceptable way of dealing on eBay.
    What Catfish hasn’t told you all is that I am disability retired. I have more than enough money to live on and comfortably at that. I have often times given moneys to charities more a especially to children’s hospitals because they helped my little brother once long ago. I have helped families not only in my home state but here in Ohio as well. I am by no means a greedy person. He has been witness to this, and for these reasons he feels that he should defend me. While I am grateful, I see nothing here to defend!
    Thank you one and All!

    So now we are back to your claim that he switched coins? I guess you have never heard of Express service at ANACS. But then why would you with the junk you sell that would get net graded like the POS you sent Matt.

    The only con man is you Poe58.

    Russ, Is this from Chapter 7, Page 47 of the "Ebay Scammers Handbook." :

    "When your feet are to the fire, make sure you are able to tell sorry stories about yourself to garner sympathy from the aggrieved party."

    Poe,

    Frankly, I do not care if you are a combination of Mother Theresa, Ghandi, Anne Frank, and the entire NYFD. The fact is you ripped Mirabella on the coin and refused the return for no good reason. Period.

    Oh, this just gets better all the time!

    I'm a power seller? Not really. If eBay had given me a choice, I would have opted out. They have this program rigged now where if you sell $1000, they bestow this "privilege" on you whether you like it or not. I haven't sold anything in a couple of months, so this conspiracy theory of yours doesn't hold water.

    You know, the more outrageous statements you two make, the clearer this whole business becomes. You obviously are not the brightest bulb.

    Whatta crock of sh!t......

    Ya know something, do some investigation before you spout ignorance.
    People LOOKED at your auctions and saw more than 1 that was way off. They saw how YOU DENIED insurance then catfish comes on and starts talking about going through all the hoops on how to get it.

    K6AZ doesn't need to try to get rid of you to sell his coins....he has AT LEAST 3 things going for him that you don't:
    1) Honesty/integrity (lumped together)
    2) GREAT COINS
    3) ACCURATELY GRADED coins

    He doesn't spout the BS that you do in order to hide the garbage you sell. (don't get that wrong.....people need to buy garbage coins too, but just be honest about it to people). Oh yeah, he also has a return policy.....clearly stated.

    if you don't believe someone can have coins graded that quickly (esp at ANACS), then why not call them and see if it is possible?
    why do you just close your mind and say that since you can't see it, it must not be real?

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  • I advance no theory here! I just made a useless speculation without regard for others! Is that not what is done here? Then I apologize; because it sure seems that way.

    You want to stop people who don't like what poe is doing, then publicly support poe if you must.
    You want me to stop posting, then ask nicely and do it in a PM and with reason, otherwise, go take a flying "leap".

    Wonder what makes you think you can tell me what to do? Just because I am a nice guy? image
    Don't come onto the forum to try to take your aggressions from your dog doo'ing in your shoes and your mommy sending you to your room without dinner and dessert and rolling it towards me.

    poe screwed up, isn't man enough to admit it. So that means he is either idiotic or a dishonest seller. Take your pic.
    I also don't care for assertions from him that other sellers are out to get rid of him so they can get his customers.
    I guess he thinks he has 100% title to all stupid buyers who buy from him more than once and no one else can sell to them since they don't know the difference???
    (exaggeration since I am sure they aren't all stupid but he must think they are since they buy from him more than once)

    No, he hasn't had enough. Mirabela is still stuck with a coin that is worth less than one quarter of what he paid for it (and one quarter of the advertised grade). I can't speak for Bochiman, but I'm not laying off this sorry excuse of a seller until he capitualates and accepts the coin in return.
