This guy is a piece of work .............
Mr. Z. was asked a simple question , and responded with BS .
This is a low cost auction , that is not the point !
I'm just sick and tired of people playing games , and not accounting for their actions..........

<< <i>I looked at the auction and did not see 4/16 anywhere. Where did you see that date? >>
I'm afraid I don't see it either. I just did a search of "4" using Edit/Find in my browser and came up with no such date. Is it possible the seller edited the auction description? I don't know anything about creating auctions on eBay so I'm unsure. But, I did see this: "On May-27-09 at 19:11:04 PDT, seller added the following information:" and all that was added was a page counter. Unless the counter was there to begin with and he deleted information.
Ken is a great guy.

Good eye! I can see that now too. I thought maybe the date was on the other side at first. Shows how much I look at these small white boxes...

Let me assure you the date was visable when the auction was live .
He whited out the date , but left the control # and time .
The box he sent me has the 9774 number with a time of 08:29 .
Again it's not the cost , it's the petty games .

Dan, I Have no doubt at All that you saw the Date and KNEW what you were (expecting) to buy. At some point in time,the Date on the Box has gotten Mysteriously whited out. I know it's NOT about the Money,it's the Principal. If you're not going to send them Back,it looks like a Negative Feedback is in order at the very least.

Damn Greg,
After selling you that you should call him uncle Frank..

Don't they specialize in wildly toned coins?
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

Mr. Zapushek is a good friend of mine and I ask him stuff involving errors and varieties all the time. I take his word at face value, which is way more than what could be said of some people on these message boards. Regarding the "open bud" piece - I have seen it in person many times, and, IMHO, think that its a really neat piece. I feel that calling him a "goofball" was totally uncalled for and as far as I'm concerned the offending poster might as well be called an hole! Not every dealer will make everyone happy (I've had people complain about me for one reason or another.)
btw i do'nt disklike him at all, he's bought from me before

As to the 'open bud' seated lib half, my assertions stand uncontroverted; to my knowledge, no major guide recognizes that variety, much less lists it. Show me hard evidence to the contrary and I'll concede. Not that I really care that much, nor evidently does anyone else.

Mr. Z tagged a goofball and Dorancoins jumping to the defense.

<< <i>Sorry but I disagree. I don't call it 'harmless' when someone purports himself as an expert in authentication and then costs others business and customers by proclaiming obviously genuine coins as fakes with absolutely no factual or evidentiary basis for the assertion... all that tells me is that he has no clue what he's talking about.

good point, which is why that whole stupid "open bud" crap is why i called him a goofball
btw, re. ken potter, that's a guy who DOES know his stuff

It appears "Mr. Z" has had a judgement entered against him for a few thousand in "missing" ILNA funds.
You can also find links to the original legal complaints against him, along with his own added responses/deflections.

Telephoto1 - Mr. Zapushek owns the site and, as such, can put whatever he wants on there. It would be no different if you in a mess and wanted to tell your side of the story.
<< <i>I'll be darned. Didn't notice the .org instead of the .info suffix.

Telephoto1 - the ILNA Board, which I was once a part of, knows about the site, and are not too pleased about it. How do I know this? Real simple - I was a guest at their last board meeting in October. There is mention of this in the Secretary's Minutes that is in the organization's publication, the ILNA Coin DIgest.
As far as the origins of the current web address - when the board wanted a new name for the site, I was the one who suggested ilnaclub.info since the ILNA website was, for all purposes, information. Most of the board agreed.
Mike, I'm an ex- ILNA Secretary myself-and frankly it would be a LOT different... first off, there's no way I'd even BE in a situation anywhere close to this- but assuming I was, and wanted to "tell [my] side of the story", I sure as heck wouldn't make a fake pseudo-ILNA site to do it, and I sure as heck wouldn't go on rambling tirades accusing others- in print no less- of harassment, and otherwise dancing around the edge of libel and/or defamation against other board members/coin dealers. Any adversaries he has no doubt have saved copious screenshots of all that stuff.
After having perused this fake site of his (and having met and interacted with the guy in years past), I'm amazed that ILNA, a statewide organization, would place someone who a) repeatedly tells everyone he knows about his health issues, including how he's had brain damage since 1993, and b) states in print and has told others that he can't even balance his own checkbook... into a position where he is even temporarily handling any significant amount of club funds.

Really, Telephoto1 - you were once Secretary of ILNA? When was that? The only ones who held the position when I joined the Board in 1995 were Jack Zillion, Frank Zapushek, Bob Olsen, Kermit Wasmer (provisionally) and, of course, myself.
As I stated in one of my posts, Mr. Zapushek owns the site, so he can do whatever he wants with it. He is only telling his version of what happened. His site is called "Illinois Numismatic Activities". Sure, the letters are the same as the other ILNA, but that where it ends. I was a witness to all of what was going on in ILNA regarding Mr. Zapushek before I resigned from my position in ILNA in September 2010, so I have a unique perspective. You may PM me if you want to discuss this further.
