Does anyone have this dealer's phone number? UPDATE

In November I sent a check to K & K Collectibles after speaking with Jim and agreeing on a price for 50 mint sets. I waited for a month without receiving them. I called the store in late December and was told that due to moving and the holidays that my coins would be shipped after the first of the year. I waited to mid-January and again no coins. I called again and Jim asked me to send a copy of the cancelled check as he could not find my name in his records, although he stated that he did remember our initial conversation. I faxed the cancelled check to him and confirmed that he did receive it. I was told that the sets would be sent out promptly. Well guess what, no sets. I tried to call him again and found that the phone number on his web site, the same one that I had called previous has been disconnected. I emailed Jim and 2 days later recieved an answer that he would have the sets out to me in a couple days. That was about 2 weeks ago and no sets. I emailed him again 3 days ago and as of this posting I have not received an answer. Does anyone out there have a phone number or a way to contact this dealer so that I can try and resolve this without a lawyer. At this point all I want back is the money. Any help would be greatly appreciated. BOB

    No business moves to a new location without either keeping their old phone number or setting up some kind of call forwarding system. This is not looking good.

  • No, but I believe I remember seeing their ads hawking NTC coins. What county in which state are/were they located? Maybe the local sheriff will go over to the address where you mailed a copy of your cancelled check to. At least then you would have an idea of which direction to go.

    Is that K&K in Delray Beach, FL? Did you try 561-330-6641?

    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.

    I have a friend who had a bad experience with this outfit. Good luck with your problem.
  • I think the dealer saw this thread. I received a call about a day after I posted this and he did send 14 of the mint sets in question along with a check for the remainder. I was happy until today when I saw that the check had bounced. Time to give him another call.

    Isn't that the same guy from Sunshine Rarities that got some discussion here on the boards a couple years ago?

    Get a postal money order and not another check.

    Bought from them last year. Here's the info I have:

    5453 Van Buren RD
    Delray Beach, FL 33484

    << <i>5453 Van Buren RD
    Delray Beach, FL 33484
    561-638-7172 >>




    That info was good within the last 60 days. He owns that home & the phone # is registered to a K. Prindle.

    I would encourage anyone with any interest in Dempsey to search the site below for official records under Sunshine Rarities and/or James Dempsey.
