You are probably right but for some reason this seller has decided he did not want or need your business to survive. I have blocked 2 buyers on ebay from all the post i have read on here. Some here have blocked 100's or more.
Now if i took the time to block you, i would not want to look at a email from you. Why should i take time to explain anything? Maybe that is why he block you. Some sellers just want to post a coin, sell it and ship it with no love in between.

I used to wonder why most collectors lose money on their coins; however, after seeing how many forum members are eager to block someone based solely on that person's online persona, I'd say the aptitude for commerce isn't universally high among coin collectors.

Hi,
I don't actually want any part of this. I bought from Bayard1908 long ago - had a problem free return. I just think, and I am probably reading wrong or too much into it - I just want to say that the the amount of $ spent bears no relation to behavior, on either side of any transaction. It is really just a comment - not about this thread at all I suppose. Deliberate and thoughtful actions and so on are free and usually worth the time!

If my memory is correct, you asked to cancel an eBay sale before shipment for a reason that I do not recall. I agreed to cancel the sale, and we never had the slightest unpleasantness about it. I never even thought of blocking you, and you are welcome to bid on my eBay items in the future. I wouldn't block anyone unless I thought they were dishonest or abusive.
<< <i>The cost of some sales may be greater then the cost of not getting some sales. >>
Agreed; however, I am not a problem customer. I return about 1 out of every 500 coins, lol. >>
---------->You are under the impression somehow that the simple act of returning a coin defines a "problem collector". It doesn't. It's the before, during, and after attitude that does. Speaking of attitude. . .

Nope, we did not at all It was indeed smooth and pleasant as a return could be. We agreed about the situation and just moved on. Thanks again for that.
<< <i>Interesting. What would be the nature of your concern? I promptly pay my invoices and almost never return a coin. >>
I thought my statement was self-explanatory. I've seen your feedback and coins on eBay and both seem good and above-board. But by starting this thread, you come across as vindictive and petty.

Do you ever message Ebay sellers about their coins to comment negatively? For instance, years ago I messaged a seller that his $5 gold piece was counterfeit. This seller had 10,000 plus feedbacks of all coins at the time. He told me to go pound sand and blocked me (telling me so). Well, I wanted the dang thing as it was a contemporary piece and now I just screwed myself! I ended up with it and yes it was a fake (I won't say how I got it). But, that comment got me blocked. Oh, the comment went like this: "Just a heads up....this $5 piece appears to be a fake, yes a counterfeit. You may want to have it authenticated before shipping to a buyer and risking a return and a negative. Good luck." So, there are things that do rub sellers the wrong way. bob

I have no way of contacting the seller. I hold no grudge or vindictive feelings toward the seller who blocked me.

As I've said earlier, I don't block people unless I have reason to believe they are dishonest or abusive.
When I buy coins, I'm not asking the seller for a date. In an online transaction, all I care about is whether the other party will live up to the bargain. I find your tone mildly insulting; but, I wouldn't hesitate to do business with you online because of that.

Awwwwwww-snap. Got to say, that is a reasonable statement and action. Although I stand by my words previously in the thread, I don't blame anyone for blocking the OP in any form be it ebay, the boards, etc just to avoid a situation such as the one we have here.

I think i have blocked 2 buyers over the years, i sometimes cringe when i see the winning bidder of 1 of my auctions has less than 5 feedbacks, but 99 percent of the times i have no issues. I have had a few but not many. I have probably had more issues with high volume ebayers. I have had some that would nit pick my coins and then make an offer. ( why do you want this dog as you called it for any price??) I have had buyers want a 3% discount for paying by check ( i never said i would take a check) I have been told how much shipping is to the penny, all from bigger ebayers.

I'm a coin collector, not an irony collector, lol.
As I said earlier, a significant percentage of coin collectors appear to have no aptitude for business. Most of the products you own were manufactured and/or sold by people with whom you have absolutely nothing in common. If personal affection were required for business transactions, global commerce would grind to a halt.
By the way, even though the matter appears to be moot, I'm not going to block you. If and when you calm down, we can do business with no hard feelings.
<< <i> If and when you calm down, we can do business with no hard feelings. >>
You seem to be the one who needs calming, my friend. I'm not the one that came here libeling a seller and whining about being blocked. You need to grow up and stop acting like a two year old.
<< <i> If and when you calm down, we can do business with no hard feelings. >>

Libeling? I just re-read the OP and fail to see where he did that. You also seem to be taking this pretty personal and lashing out.
It is what it is, and it isn't anything more than it is. Relax.
I recently came across a seller who I asked for larger pics, he said sure. I also let him know that I was unable to ask him a question through ebay, a heads up. He did have his email posted. He asked for my ebay user name and said he would check into it. He also mentioned that I wasn't blocked. Great, I thought but never received the larger pics?? I guess I'm still waiting.

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

Hardly "lashing out" any more than you are, unless you consider that anyone who opines in a manner you disagree with is "lashing out". I personally don't care if the OP never sells or buys another coin again but I think it was poor form to come here to whine about it. Enough, I'm done with this thread

Point taken... actually, I'm offended by your comment... you're blocked!
Lmao! Ima block everyone in this thread now. We should all just block eachother. We can have block night every monday on the forum and whoever blocks the most users wins a prize!

I thought my statement was self-explanatory.
I've seen your feedback and coins on eBay and both seem good and above-board.
But by starting this thread, you come across as vindictive and petty.
Dealing directly with the seller or just moving on and forgetting about it were far better options than coming here whining about it. >>
I have no way of contacting the seller. I hold no grudge or vindictive feelings toward the seller who blocked me. I'm merely bringing what I believe is a poor business practice to his attention, and to the attention of forum members with similar tendencies. Far from whining, I'm trying to help forum members help themselves by refraining from blocking good customers on a whim. As I've said earlier, I don't block people unless I have reason to believe they are dishonest or abusive.
When I buy coins, I'm not asking the seller for a date. In an online transaction, all I care about is whether the other party will live up to the bargain. I find your tone mildly insulting; but, I wouldn't hesitate to do business with you online because of that. >>
Don't even try that self-serving "trying to help forum members" nonsense on me, because I'm not buying it, not for an instant.
You have a grudge against the seller and are attempting to "get even" by plastering his name on this board.
I've added you to my eBay block list and your antics here have guaranteed I'll never buy a coin from you.
Grow up!

Awwwwwww-snap. Got to say, that is a reasonable statement and action. Although I stand by my words previously in the thread, I don't blame anyone for blocking the OP in any form be it ebay, the boards, etc just to avoid a situation such as the one we have here. Yes, I know, I'm a new member. However, I'm a very long time lurker - you'd be scared if you knew how long I've been lurking.

Agreed; however, I am not a problem customer. I return about 1 out of every 500 coins, lol. >>
---------->You are under the impression somehow that the simple act of returning a coin defines a "problem collector". It doesn't. It's the before, during, and after attitude that does. Speaking of attitude. . .
You state you "could not care less" about other collectors and dealers attitude toward you yet you've responded 19 times to your own thread already.
(Yes, I counted. And, "Yes", I've got a little time to kill this morning...) >>
Him??? Look at how YOU have dug into this. You've been a member for 2 months (Mar 2011) and yet you have dove into this, and on Bayard, with a passion and zeal it would seem. >>
You noticed too eh ?
I think i have blocked 2 buyers over the years, i sometimes cringe when i see the winning bidder of 1 of my auctions has less than 5 feedbacks, but 99 percent of the times i have no issues. I have had a few but not many. I have probably had more issues with high volume ebayers. I have had some that would nit pick my coins and then make an offer. ( why do you want this dog as you called it for any price??) I have had buyers want a 3% discount for paying by check ( i never said i would take a check) I have been told how much shipping is to the penny, all from bigger ebayers.

I'm a coin collector, not an irony collector, lol.
As I said earlier, a significant percentage of coin collectors appear to have no aptitude for business. Most of the products you own were manufactured and/or sold by people with whom you have absolutely nothing in common. If personal affection were required for business transactions, global commerce would grind to a halt.
By the way, even though the matter appears to be moot, I'm not going to block you. If and when you calm down, we can do business with no hard feelings.
<< <i> If and when you calm down, we can do business with no hard feelings. >>
You seem to be the one who needs calming, my friend.
I'm not the one that came here libeling a seller and whining about being blocked.
You need to grow up and stop acting like a two year old.

Libeling? I just re-read the OP and fail to see where he did that.
You also seem to be taking this pretty personal and lashing out.
It is what it is, and it isn't anything more than it is. Relax.
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
<< <i>Far from whining, I'm trying to help forum members help themselves by refraining from blocking good customers on a whim. >>
You might consider that others may have a different opinion regarding just what constitutes a "whim" than you do.
Just sayin'...
Same show, different names, different year. That's it, I'm blocking myself!
Joe.
Bayard is not evil nor is he bad business. If a seller gets in a snit over petty stuff and reads too much into the small things---I pity that seller.
That seller appears to me to be a 'small' person and I think he bruised Bayards ego a little. Nobody likes to be told NO.
Both need to move on. The seller already has.
regards to both of you.

Hardly "lashing out" any more than you are, unless you consider that anyone who opines in a manner you disagree with is "lashing out".
I personally don't care if the OP never sells or buys another coin again but I think it was poor form to come here to whine about it.
Enough, I'm done with this thread

you don't want it until you can't have it.
