In his first few posts, whining about getting bammed from another coin forum, I posted links to some of his vids, as well as to some other forums he got the boot from. Unfortunately, those threads got nuked due to them spiralling out of control. It was all I could do to NOT post the links again. I knew it would only be a matter of time until the 'real' BNB came out. I'm very surprised that some members actually took a semi-liking to this kid. I will only say this...if Charmy had seen some of his vids on youtube, she would NOT have been overly warm to him. I DO hope that those members that stuck up for him in the past will realize that he deserves NO sympathy, second chances, nada. I don't like talking bad about people, especially on the 'net, due to the assumption that most people that do this won't do it face to face (I have no problem doing that). However, this kid makes it easy for people to hate him. Just google BNB, and whatever fans he has left (if any) will quickly bail on him. He's a total joke, and after what he said to ALL of us, I still can't believe he's allowed on here to post.
crack that baby out - a little acetone and a quick dip and presto!!
NCS should learn from his accelerated learning program
His diversification has taken him to the currency world and then I think after mastering that in a couple months he will turn to stamps, as there is big money in collectibles of all sorts
PS, I noticed he is in IMDB for his first film that is in production
and I am guessing you-tube will be sending him money for his additions to their website
I don't know why all of you here just bash everything he does, we should just get along and learn together
PS, I noticed he is in IMDB for his first film that is in production
Yep, big time actor. Electronics store cashier in a movie called '2.0' (must be a movie about his IQ). Starring Brahm Gallagher, who, in his last movie, Lanrete, played zombie. 2.0 is a 2009 movie, still in post-production.....which means it won't get out of the can.
just to keep it coin related, here's my nicest Buffalo....sorry about the glare.
I predict it will sell for MS money as a key coin on eBay and even if he had dirt under his fingernails during his YouTube debut, the coin is what it is.
You should pull it & just sell it for what it is. >>
Agreed, you should pull this one as it's misleading and I'm not sure you even realize what you're saying in the description. Not sure you know, but when you say "Gem BU" it translates to most collectors as MS65. It's not the same as saying "BU" which translates as MS60+. Although you have expressed your disagreement with NGC's opinion of the grade on your coin as an AU58 because you don't see any wear, I'm not sure you really believe that it's a MS65 coin either. A real MS65 3 legger is $30k-$40k. Though your coin looks like a nice one, it just isn't a five figure coin.

Come on! He knows exactly what he was writing, he's new to coins, but not that new. Stop sticking up for the guy, I'm glad everyone has finally realized how big of a POS he is.
I also really urge everyone to report the auction, don't let that POS get any money from this.
I bet he will come back on in a few days and say it was just a marketing scheme, just like he did when he tried to pawn the 3 legger off in the BST with deceptive pictures.
<< "This listing (110511975649) has been removed, or this item is not available." >>
<<Hooray!!>>
Unfortunately, there are other means to sell the coin, let alone another eBay auction down the road. Ultimately BNB needs to do the right thing and decide if wants to live with himself if he does end up selling the coin under false pretense. The shame is, he had a nice coin in an NGC holder that he paid $1500 for it. He probably could get his money back out of it if he didn't crack it out of the holder and sold the coin upfront and in an honest manner. He is the one that got greedy calling it *GEM BU* in hopes of making a profit. No amount of money/profit is ever worth it if received in a dishonest manner.
<< <i>This thread is (was) worthless without pictures. >>
The link at the beginning of the thread was to the listing, which provided images. What's "lame" is to complain that there are no images when the listing with those images has been removed.
Give it a little time. He will create a new eBay account (since everyone here knows his current) and this coin will be back up for auction. I'm sure he's lurking and reading this thread so BNB, AT LEAST re-image the coin without the NGC prongs before you try to scam and sell it as raw Gem BU - and let's make that fingerprint visible eh?

I'm far from his biggest fan but I agree that his listing is now cleaned up. Now it's just a typical EBAY slippery slope listing. He is far removed from being a teenager...............MJ
Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
I give him credit for cleaning his listing up. But lets not forget that there is this post and another one on the currency side calling him out on his previous listing. So I am not going to be patting him on the back any time soon. He cleaned it up (his Ebay listing) because he needs to sell that coin he cracked out. Regardless if he did or did not touch the coin after he cracked it, he listed it on Ebay as *GEM BU* when it is in an NGC AU-58 and shows wear.
I would not give him credit for anything. This is the fourth time he has listed the coin in less than a day or so. He's simply trying to get his description as close to honest as possible, while still holding back the truths about this coin. He has done things before, than asked about it, such as cleaning junk silver and silver bars. My opinion is he cracked it out, then came here to ask about it. My opinion is also that he did do something to it. If we remember correctly, Ambro suggested he send it ATS to have it re-holdered with the reverse facing the front of the slab. I surmise all this due to his insistence that it was 'the most lustrous 3 legger he had ever seen of all AU 3 leggers he has seen'. If he was so in love with it, why would he sell it??? He could have sold it still in it's slab, and it wouldn't have caused him to have to 'misrepresent' it. We know he can take images, so why wouldn't he have pics of the coin raw, if he didn't touch it?????
Well actually to tell you the truth, I really do not give him credit for anything. His public actions are speaking very clearly. I was just trying to be a little bit diplomatic.

What's the difference between enhancing a coin and actual doctoring >>
Some people consider dipping to be doctoring, while others don't. Some consider doctoring to be adding something to the surfaces of a coin or moving metal in order to hide flaws and/or make it more attractive in terms of color. Many hobbyists would consider the removal of print to be conservation, as opposed to doctoring. Personally, I believe that the connotation of the term "doctoring" is overly harsh with respect to the removal of a print.

I don't think I've ever seen worse shipping or item description ratings at all. I'm surprised people will deal with someone with ratings that low.

This Im sure was just another one
Description is better..but this is still false.."This picture is an accurate representation of the coin in which you will receive."
I believe this one will run it's course. but he still doesn't reveal the print on the obverse.
Give the kid a break, he did improve things with this listing.
