Home Coin Swaps, Tags and Giveaways

Winner Revealed in last post.

Well, after speaking to a few people, it has come to my attention that 1 or more people on this forum feel I am a thief. With that being said, I am going to give away the only coin I ever received in a tag/swap. I will pick a random winner Christmas morning, and once I receive their shipping information, I will no longer be coming to this forum. I am a Marine, not a thief, and will not be accused of being one.

1881-S PCGS MS63PL Morgan Dollar.

All you have to do is post here.

My letter to Augie.

Augie,

Here is why I feel your actions reguarding this tag are completly two faced against two different people. I know your going to rally back, but you have to at least admit where im coming from is correct.

Nov 27th, I received the package
Dec 3rd, I updated the list with the new contents
Dec 3rd, pm sent to me with eyoung429 shipping information
Dec 5th, I am accused of being a thief (not by you), and wish to replace the original contents of my trade, and ship the box to you for verification to release me of any liability. You did not want this.
Dec 14th, Package is shipped
Dec 16th, Package was attempted to be delivered, however no one was there to sign for it

At this point, my process is over, which took 19 days, from receipt, to first delivery, which included a 2 day dead time between the point where you send the shipping information, and I actually received it due to being out of town.

During this point in time, you change the thread name, post in MY giveaway thread degrading me, still have your thread aimed at degrading me, and completly humiliate me in front of the entire forums. Without getting personal, I try to explain that I am busy, and have a lot of things to do running a business... I said this because I didnt want to explain to the entire ******* world that my mother is a crack adict and had to go to the hospital because she almost died of an overdose. She inherited $63,XXX from my aunts death, and has managed to blow approx $20,000 of it on crack.

Thats why I wasnt around here much, and why I couldnt get to the post office. Neither here or there... I did not adhere to the TAG rules as posted... so you have a right to be upset...

HERES WHERE I GET PISSED (Im sure you allready know whats coming)

Oct 20th, Boom posts saying he received the package on the 19th.
Oct 24th, Boom says hes going through the package, and should have things updated by the evening. Later on that night, he does update his post with new package information.
Oct 26th, Claychaser requests the package
Oct 30th, The package gets shipped
Nov 3rd, Package delivered.

Total time in process... 16 days, a mere 3 less then mine. Were there EVER any deragatory posts about him? No. Did you ever change the name of the thread to degrade him? No. Did you ever so much as post a single thing other then "any updates?"? NO.

Granted, im sure you guys were in contact by phone... yet you have my phone number, and even made a comment stating you were going to try to contact me from work since you have a 800 number, and dont want to pay big money trying to "track me down" also implying that I have been avoiding you. Did I EVER receive a phone call? Nope... did you ever post that up saying you never tried to call? Nope... once again, making me look like the bad guy. Did you EVER even give me your phone number so I could call you? Nope. So, you make me look like a complete ass across the entire forums... even when though this same situation has been relived by a different person. This situation in itself has caused me to lose a lot of respect for you reguarding this. I am going to post this entire message for all to see, and let them determine how they feel. I am also asking you to apologize for singling me out when others have done similar things.

Respectfully Submitted

    hey, didn't we swap once whan you were in japan, you sent one box that never came and then you did send a second one that did get here.
    I don't think your a thief, Marines wouldn't do that to Americans- maybe Iraqies though

    People here can be pretty rough. Sometimes they get over trivial matters, sometimes not. Like the military (I'm retired), you can't please everyone, so don't even try. You should at least stay here and observe even if you don't post. They are a LOT of lurkers! Good luck. Ray

    Musky... your the ONLY person on these forums that has a rightful reason to complain or accuse me of being a thief... and what you said in your response is true... I have no idea what happened to the first box... but im glad that the second one made it at least.

    I know... I thought about giving it to you anyways... but decided that I would give back to the forums, what I have gotten from it.
  • i don't know you personally, but i'd encourage you to stick around.
  • like most things, possibly we can work through it here... but you'll have to fill
    in more details image
  • Its not a matter of details... Its simple... there is at least 1 person on these forums, who is a very active member, that feels as though I am a thief. That truely pisses me off to the point of not wanting to be around. Everytime I see his name, I get mad. This has been verified through messages between him and I, and a couple others.

    Granted, I dont get on here everyday sometimes, I am slow about getting things out... but I am a Marine, and I do own 1 business, and am a partner in a franchise... I just dont have the time or energy to get on here some days.
  • stick around 30anv... and if anyone is going to call someone out as a thief, at least have the nads to do
    it out in the open.
  • Thats pretty much what I said in a direct pm to him. I have never had a direct swap with this guy (or girl... im not really sure) so I dont know where he gets off with his bs... but this makes me so damn mad... Im not a thief.
  • I liked your posts! Sad to see you leaving.

    Don't let one of these image's comments bother you
    Some people have no idea what they are talking about

    Why be mad, all you do is hurt yourself

    If you leave the boards-who wins?????

    The other person, that's who

    Stay and enjoy the good things and forget about the badimage

    Sorry, Didn't know all the facts before,now I do

    William,

    I would like to be included in this giveaway, but not before saying a few things out in the open.

    Someone running another TAG asked me about you & I basically said what you already said yourself......you're slow in responding, probably to your own deteriment. Some of the coins you missed out because you're not online in my Tag where pretty nice (OK, not great, but nice).
    That you didn't verify the coins you got, but rather copied & pasted old information. You re-verified & made the necessary corrections.
    But the bottom line is that you could be trusted, which supersedes everything else, and that's what I told the other member.

    Obviously, someone thinks otherwise & you have let him get under your skin.
    It is too bad when something can't be worked out between members, and if there's anything I can do to help out just let me know.

    I have PM'ed you on the other PM I sent to another member, but seeing what he wrote here, that was not a problem.

    Augie,

    Your words do mean a lot. Its nice to know that from those directly involved with (Augie, Musky, Ron from Rons Coin & Currency) at least have faith in me. Ron sent me a coin in a hurry, because I needed it, with my word on a check in the mail. Im not sure who he spoke with on the forums to give him the information he needed to trust me... but it was nice to know.

    Granted, im slow to respond a lot, things get busy with the business, and I simply cant keep up with that... let alone my "fun" things. Ill stick around... but my participation in the tags/swaps may be limited. My giveaway still stands... I got it from the forums, and Im willing to give it back to the forums. Coins is just a hobby for me... im 22... and its something I enjoy to have, look at, ect. I dont know why I collect them, or what I should collect... right now im on a war nickle kick... well see what it is next week. Keep entering... the coin is up for grabbs.
