This ever happen to you....

Someone tells you they'd like to buy "X" amount of coins from you and they'll put the pmt. in the mail in a few days. Several days later they tell you that they forgot and it'll go in the mail in a few days once they get paid. After a few more excuses, it becomes 15+ days. Around the 20th day they tell you that the check is in the mail....

It's sad that people try to lock in a price with you only to shop it around to try to turn a profit on something they don't even own. Do you feel this is right? I've had another dealer tell me to send a coin to him on review only to get it back almost a month later.

Anyone here want to send me their coins on review so I can go to 4-5 coin shows in a month and try to sell your coins for a profit without your knowledge...... Why not just take on consignments instead of doing this....

    I once had a guy bid and win a coin from me on Ebay. He paid and I shipped it. The same day I shipped it, he listed the coin for sale using my photos.

    ...you make a great point. frustrating to say the least.
