in U.S. Coin Forum
which shows their inventory of coins,...... how appropriate is it for another board member to comment about a particular coin ( good or bad) in that inventory which is viewed from their link on this message board?

Just curious.

Your thoughts?

    I think it's ok to comment.
    A link on this board is an invitation to look.
    And this board is all about comments, knowledge, questions and opinions.

    I tend not to leave comments on dealer inventory at all ... most know the places to look ...

    Sometimes when truely wonderful, unique and interesting pieces surface, and the comments are positive or inquisitive, I'm glad someone points them out.

    I generally frown on the "look at this POS", "overgraded", "AT" ... whatever coins ... regardless of where it's listed. Not that I don't think these are sometimes worthy of educational viewing, but after a while "look at this POS" gets old. If it was on a members site I would also feel as if negative comments were made private at first.

    I think a question or comment is fine if its not meant to hinder the sale in any way.

    I see alot of comments ( both good and bad) about coins on ebay sites coming from dealers on this message board. Is there any difference between comments about coins on ebay sites versus comments about a dealer's coins on their website link on these boards?image

    In a free market society, you are free to comment on products and services as you see fit. But, you also have to be ready to receive staunch disagreement and have your judgement put into question.

    Some dealers are fine with it, and have no problem. Some might send you nasty PM's. Some might threaten you. Some might go around in the background trying to find out who you are (name address etc.) Some might go around a show asking other dealers to point out who you are your name etc. Some might threaten to sue you if your comment isn't favorable.

    Why would one comment unless you want to slam the dealer for some reason? Then again if you think one of their coins is a POS and feel a need to tell the world about it then by all means do so; afterall it is just YOUR opinion. If you want the opinions of others as to grade, etc. then post away. Just because Dan Dealer has a coin for sale on his website doesn't make him immune from comments.

    As long as the comment is fact-based and not mean-spriited, I see no problem commenting on coins from dealers who participate on this forum. It is also appropriate to be clear as to what you are stating as a fact and what is your opinion.

    Here are some examples of okay and not okay comments:

    Not okay: Coin X on Dealer Dan's website is a pig!

    Okay: I think Coin X on Dealer Dan's website is a pig!

    Not okay: Dealer Dan is a scrubbed up pig!

    Okay: Coin X on Dealer Dan's website is a scrubbed up pig, based on my interpretation of the photo, given the limitations of coin photography, my vision, and my personal experience.

    Not okay: Coin X, on Dealer Dan's website, is a nice CAC-stickered coin.

    Okay: (Anything negative about coins stickered by the CAC, people involved in the CAC, and the CAC as an entity)

    That should clear things up. image
