    Nope, but thanks, I just won $5 betting that you would somehow blame PCGS for this. image

    You sell a lot on eBay (or used to), what would you say to a bidder if he wrote you with this story after winning one of your auctions? "I'm terribly sorry, but I only bid because I thought you had listed it for 10% of the current market value...."

    What makes you think I will not honor my bid, or that I would contact the seller with an excuse? I have never refused to pay for a coin that I bid on, even if I made a mistake in bidding. >>



    I never meant to imply that you wouldn't honor the bid, Frank, it was merely a hypothetical question, along with some good-natured ribbing. Next time I'll remember to salt a few smileys in there too. image

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    My numismatic rule number 1:

    Never buy a coin just because it's cheap (or seems like it is).
  • I always wondered how accurate these price guides were. Mistakes happen.

    << <i>A member asks the forum a question about a coin he assumingly would like to buy, a fellow member reads some of the early responses, and rushes to buy it only learning later from later posts that he didn't get the steal he assumed. I call that greed, sneaky lousy greed, good for him. image >>



    And, the irony is just deeeeellllisssshhhhh image

    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
