RYK Yes this listing is the one, his name is kem foley in georgia old lost mountain rd powder springs, GA I just stopped payment on the check I sent, I learned a valueable lesson today, Im sorry for treating you like I did, if it werent for this group/forum my check would have cleared this afternoon Best Regards; Harold
I am VERY glad that you got the chance to stop payment! We do all like to have fun, but it isn't fun when some one gets scammed out of $5K......no matter how grouchy the guy seems!
No matter how much you think you know about coins and auctions,.....you can ALWAYS learn more from the people here.
Russ I certainly am a Dip**** I went to my bank and stopped the payment, it was due to clear this afternoon I owe you BIGTIME I cannot thankyou enough Im sorry for being a jerk and saying things I didnt mean
RYK You stated you were a doctor, well what can you prescribe to me? I feel like a jerk/ and a Idiot Im sorry for saying all those ignorant things I definitely did not mean them Best Regards; Harold
Harold, don't sweat it. The degree of suspicion that I had for you, as a newcomer to this forum offering an expensive coin, is the same level of suspicion that you should have when you are shopping for expensive coins on ebay.

Low feedback 100% positive accounts are regular targets of hijackers. Only feedback for a coin sale was very recent after an extended period of dormancy. That feedback is from another low feedback account that also has been dormant; likely also hijacked as part of the setup. The image from that auction was obviously shot by a different person than the one in this auction. Add to this the fact that the seller does not accept PayPal.
Russ I cannot thankyou enough; Ive been buying coins for a long time from everywhere, you saved me $5k the check would have cleared by this afternoon, theres no santa claus in the coin business, I cannot thankyou enough Harold
RYK said "Wow, Russ! You did a good deed today. " Accidents happen. Dont go spoiling a reputation that has taken Russ years to build. Russ is the best.
Oh wow, a lot can happen overnight. Hijacked account -- that's more or less what I was insinuating that the seller -- the ebay seller, I mean -- didn't have the coin.
wow this thread took a different turn from last night, definitely not as interesting after Russ did his good deed for the day. I maybe shoulda posted about the hijacked account last night too, that was my first thought when looking at the auction, seller, previous auctions & feedback, I was 99.9% sure hijacked, but... I'm an ASSSSSSSSSSSSS and wouldn't have minded seeing a petty little wannabe get stiffed. That and, I've been wrong before about bogus sellers/auctions, so I don't like to tell others they may be experiencing problems, for fear of hosing over a real seller.
Well I hope Russ is right, but this seller did sell a $1300 POS this month. He's hasn't been active but he did get a postive on a expensive bullion coin.
<< <i>He's hasn't been active but he did get a postive on a expensive bullion coin. >>
again though, like Russ pointed out, he got a positive from an eBayer who hasn't been active for a while and very likely is also a highjacked account to give the highjacked sellers account some credibility for the gullible.

All I'm saying is you can request contact info for the seller and call them. If you can call them it's not high jacked IMO. Not everyone uses Ebay everyday or year but their are high jacked accounts and you have to lookout for them. The no Paypal or credit card to protect myself would disqualify this auction for me.
Wekar, maybe you would have loved seeing me get stiffed for $5000 I never have stiffed anyone out of 1c in any coin deals Sure I said some Ignorant things, that I cannot take back, That is incredibly WRONG of you to say that, always remember WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND Harold
ttown Turns out russ is definitely right on this one, corkko 25 [kem foley] will not return emails and does not live or exist at the address of 3340 old lost mountain rd. powder springs,GA he gave me......
Congrats on saving yourself $5k, you came off as a jerk but redeemed yourself at the end. I hope you do a lot of deep thinking in dealing with others and one's pride. Best of Luck.

I was kidding about it being a hijacked account.
Just kidding!
Wait! Am I kidding now, or was I kidding then?

Russ, while I agree there are things that are suspicious about this ebay listing, how can you be so certain that it is hijacked?

I think you're silly too, RYK. Silly like a schoolgirl.

Harold, it sounds like you were saved some serious money. I think it's only fair that you have a coin giveaway to show your sincere appreciation.
You're the Man, Harold.
Thiggy, sticks and stones...

<< <i>777, where'd you say your shop was located? Utica, Ill. on Main St.?

Mapquest does not list a West Main Street or Main Street in Utica? Hmmmmm

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

No doubt in my mind this was a hijack.

Russ...A good Deed?
man.. you're making him blush.
I would still be interested in a bank clearinghouse # for that location of RYK's anatomy.
Edit: before I forget...777....no harm no foul. No problems Mate.
I am sorry you got beat up like that.
You gotta love this place where one minute you get bet up and the next, . . . (well- you get beat up again)
May all your footsteps be guided.
so - uh anyone interested in my coin? No.. Anyone? Last Chance.
Harold, I'm glad you'll make it out of this one.
Why you so nice Russ?
btw 777, it's turban head.
Need more $$$ for coins?
<< <i>Bochiman Would rather you do not hold a grudge, I didnt mean the things I said, I can offer only my apology Harold >>
That's cool. It takes a big man to own up to things and I respect you for it.
Good luck and drive on with the coins

Now what is the saying?
Treat others as you'd like to be treated
OR
Do onto other before they do onto you!
I hope the former prevails.......................
