Has anyone ever bought from theconsignmenthub off ebay?

jesbroken

I just wonder how the purchase finalized upon receipt of coin from theconsignmenthub. The photos look somewhat strange and the prices seem to be extremely low for the coins. Just curious as to whether anyone here had finalized purchases from them off ebay.
Thanks
Jim

I have bought from them at least once. They are, as the name implies, an eBay consignment dealer, so they offer just what people bring to them. They tend to have raw coins, but as a die marriage collector, this invariably means that what they offer are unattributed coins, as well. The one coin that I bought from them was an 1800 LM-2/V3, a high R7 coin, which was cherry-picked from their offerings on eBay. Of course I was delighted to obtain the extremely rare coin, which was exactly as described and purchased without any problem. The Consignment Hub was cordial and responsive in my dealings with them, and I would recommend them. I certainly look at any half dimes they offer, and would do business with them again.

One of the worst Ebay sellers for coins that I've seen is Great Southern Coin. Tons of cleaned and over graded stuff yet they have 100% positive feedback.

You weren't kidding about that seller's images. This neg says it all:

Volume hides a lot. They have 38 neutrals, 10 negs, and 38 feedback revisions in the past 12 months. But, the only thing anybody looks at is that 100%.

NotSure

I dealt with them once. The package, which was a roll of ASE's (this is about a year ago) was accidentally sent to WA, and not MA. The package was not recovered (they used UPS at that time, not sure if they still use that or not), yet they sent me a replacement, and not a refund, which I found impressive for a consignor. The person I dealt with on the phone could not have been nicer, as I wasn't very happy when they answered the phone (admittedly, I was a bit ticked off, but given they put the correct name, correct street address, but the city and state and zip got mixed up...how that happened, when it was a confirmed Paypal payment, and they had the proper shipping info on hand, well, obviously the person shipping it got it messed up)....when I hung up, I was much calmer, as they resolved it with overnight shipping on the replacement. I only used them once, but it's only due to my not finding anything I have been interested in. Given that one transaction, the way they righted their wrong, I wouldn't hesitate to deal with them again. But as I said, they used UPS at that time, and I'm not enthusiastic with UPS if an item needs a signature...with the USPS, you just go to your main facility and pick it up, as you have to go to the UPS 'hub', or wait for another delivery. BUT, my only dealing with them was a positive experience.

Bought 4 raw coins once from them. Opened the package, closed it back up and immediately sent them back. All were whizzed beyond belief. They refunded as soon as they got them back. EOM.

To play devil's advocate, they do have this disclaimer in all of their auctions: "CLEANING: Most of the coins we offer are 50 to 200 years old and will probably have been cleaned in some fashion over their lifetime. Our Macro photos show a detailed condition of the property offered for sale - but not the cleaning history."

BryceM

in some fashion over their lifetime???????

How 'bout "at some point in the last few days.........."

frnklnlvr

I bought a coin once from them and I was sent a different one than the coin pictured. They weren't able to locate the coin pictured in the auction but they refunded my return shipping costs and were very nice. I wouldn't have a problem buying from them in the future.

I'll let you know in about a week, I just picked up this neat 1844 clipped large cent for a fairly reasonable Buy It Now.

I'm finding them very irritating...I'm 4 dimes from completing my XF/AU Mercury Dime set and they always pop up in my searches. They currently have 2 of the 4 dates I would like for my set with exceptional XF/AU details, but the coins have been whizzed beyond belief

Hi Jim,

I have been dealing with the 'consignment' on Ebay for about 3yrs now, have to say they are one of the very few sellers of coins on ebay that sell you exactly what they say it is! If they list as 'bu' it's a bu, if they list 'obw', its original 'obw! Personally I recently realized, of course after spending a TON of money of 'so-called' bu rolls & ch/bu unresearched rolls, that probably 95% of coin dealers on Ebay are taking advantage of a lot of people, now this is my fault since I hadnt inspected coins when bought, I 'assumed' since they were coin dealers, selling on ebay w/near perfect reviews, I had no need to check and just put them in a box....that is until recently.....here's short story n how I finally realized.....

Im a disabled father of 9 children, adopted 2 and Grandfather of 8-so far, I wasnt able to put squat aside for my kids, let alone Grandkids but Ive collected coins for a long time, once disabled I decided to further the stacking and started trying to flip coins for few more bucks to invest back in, for the soul purpose of biulding something for my offspring, to shorten more, I figured start with Roosevelt runs, since 50 in roll as to cover up to 41 Grandchildren, freaking nuts, I know, anyway 3yrs ago I started buying bu rolls from 1946-present, to put in books for them, well I finally accumulated every year/mint except for a few rare years (actually just contacted 'theconsignmethub' on Ebay just yesterday for help in finding, top of the line coins) so about 6 weeks ago I told a friend I met through Ebay ironically, about all this, he's also a dealer/major collector, and he decided he wanted in on these 'unresearched rolls I found, after buying maybe $800 initially then seeing them firsthand, he has spent $50k in last 5 weeks n wants more....this is where/how I realized its mostly real junk junk silver, 90% coins that is, my friend asked me to go through coins....aka-now research, the rolls, as to cherry pick for coins that PCGS will put a 'deserved' high grade......so I started looking at the dimes to cherry pick, starting with the rolls I had bought n just stored 'assuming to get maybe 4-5 per roll to send in for grading, when I started looking the very first 5 rolls didnt yield me ONE gradeable coin, matter of fact not one coin didnt have less than maybe 5 very distinct n obvious marks but 'assumed', yet again, they were just a few bad rolls, now they were bu, as per explaination of such, but definately the bottom end of such category, but I kept searching, 5 more rolls, same crap, getting real upset but moved on, finally roll 12 yielded me 12 very high end coins, with 17 others that propably give me ms62/3...started smiling again but then next roll right back to crap, same with next one then two, almost 20 rolls later I find another real nice rolls, I forgot to mention, I had accumulated $900/face in 'bu rolls' (Roosevelt's)- to save you math thats 190 rolls-that alone is 45,000 dimes, plus singles I had initially bought, through Ebay at that, .....anyway moving on n shortening, after going through every single dime, this is going to make you sick, out of the 45k I yielded 100 gradeable coins and out of the 190 rolls, purchased through Ebay, I got exactly 15 rolls that were truely bu rolls! I still feel like Im going to have a heart attack!!! Moral of the story, if you want very good coins DO NOT use Ebay, its too easy for the selllers to dump thier 'Shitty' coins while holding on to the valueable coins/rolls, mind you that they paid roughly 35% lower than prices you see across the board or even less than melt in some cases, now if your buying just for silver content then its fine, other than that caause most listed are worth nothing more!!! That being said there are a handful of honest sellers but it takes time to weed them out, has taken me 3yrs....still adding more. So if you plan on Ebay purchases make sure they accept returns, a truely honest dealer will be more than happy to accept/replace, then make sure you inspect it to make sure its truely what it was listed as( invest in a good loop) this way you can be sure your getting wwhat you pay for/want.

Sorry I babbled on but as you can imagine Im pretty disgusted over my Ebay coin purchases, I just thank God I met certain people, especially a certain gentleman who, at 82yrs old, is selling what I 'assumed' I was buying through Ebay and has more truely unresearched ch/bu rolls, complete runs, slabbed coins, etc along with good pricing/quality especially for being unresearched.......I couldnt even guess how many rolls this guy stacked but I can tell you we just bought over 250 rolls and that didn't even dent the pile he pulled them from, I watched him..lol

Well I hope my input/novel helped....and if you have any question feel free to shoot me an email, always willing to help!

Hell forgot main inquiry, the years I need to complete my sets, I have turned to a couple honest dealers I trust on Ebay and 'the consignmenthub is a top one! Matter of fact he's going to look for what I need at upcoming shows he's going to attend since he doesnt have what I need on hand, therefore they are definately n 100% a top seller n if you biuld a repor they will go an extra 10 miles to help you get what you need!!!!

Have Great Day n Good stacking to you!

Good seller, bought several circulated Walkers for my set from them.

Aspie_Rocco

I have bought from them before. Sometimes the photo was not the exact coin received, but Bob has always been pleasant, responds reasonably fast, and has had no hassle returns (as needed)

Bob has also gone above and beyond basic services and hunted through items for me previously.

Other than verifying the exact item in photo is the sale item, I have no hesitation to buy from the consignmenthub

crazyhounddog

I would NEVER buy ANYTHING from this outfit buddy. I had a very bad experience with them a while back.😳

jdimmick

I sell them a lot of stuff, but its mostly proof sets and commem's and such

DIMEMAN

First off - I can't believe anybody would buy rolls of "BU" coins and then just store them away without looking at them!

theconsignmenthub sells mostly crap that is severely cleaned. I must have sent something back because I once later bid on a cheap Dime because it was a variety and I was "blocked". When I called and talked to Bob he was the most HOSTILE person I have ever talked to on the phone! @crazyhounddog was right. Run away!

clarkbar04

They sure want a premium for melt bucket junk. Scrolling through their crap is exhausting. It’s pretty much turned into the ugliest coin museum in the world.

For only 15 bucks plus shipping you can have this cleaned and damaged 37 buff.

Doctored pictures to make scrubbed up coins look nice! Fool me once....but not a second time!

I have dealt with theConsignmentHub. As their name implies, they take items on consignment from other sellers. They rely on the descriptions provided by those sellers, so you must know what you are doing because some of the descriptions are innacurate (for example, strike doubling offered as an RPD).
I rate my experienece with them positive. They are friendly and want buyers to be satisfied.

Timbuk3

Yikes, sounds scary !!!

dogwood

I’ve had fun studying the close up images of their AU details 1860-S Seated Quarter.
The funny toning wouldn’t be bad but that business below the mm has kept me guessing for awhile.
At least they say details in the listing and provide very good images.
But if the price is too good to be true....

AUandAG

I will not side with or agin them. I do look at all there CC's and pass immediately. Never been even tempted to purchase from them.

I bought a couple of very tough clips from them, my only "complaint" is that they would not budge on their prices. I tried to wait them out on one coin that they listed several times without selling, and they would not budge a dollar from the original listing price. The coins I did end up buying were exactly as pictured and described in their listing, what I saw is what I got.

Wow! I didn't get near this response when I originally posted this in 2011. I have learned not to trust their consignors writeups. I think I have bought one coin from them that was legitimate. Most coins that I am interested in are cleaned as has been posted, so I passed. Good luck folks, use your best judgement when purchasing from unknowns.

Returned a coin and was blocked afterward. Never tried again.

Sounds like a pretty standard ultra high volume ebay seller.

Regarding Ebay seller 'theconsignmenthub',
I found a raw 1902-O Micro O Vam 3 listed by them, $59 plus $3.50 shipping, I added to cart, and paid immediately.
a few days later, I checked ebay, and see a shipping label was created but nothing ever shipped....
Contacted them regarding this, got a reply from 'Bob', who stated he ships over 100 items a day,
was replying from home, and would look into the issue, 8 days after my purchase, they cancelled my purchase,
claiming the item could not be found in their inventory....

Hmmm, there are currently two similar coins listed by other sellers @ $299 and $350.
judging by feedback seen here, its par for 'theconsignmenthubs' business plan, bait n switch, partial sets etc..,.
Here's the message I received with his PROMISE to find another for me, Yeah, ill be holding my breath
"eBay
New message from: theconsignmenthub Top Rated Seller(117,343RedShooting Star)
Good Evening,
I closed out the day at the office with work well into the evening making one last
attempt to sort through our inventory to find this coin.
It is not filed by it's inventory number 91228
I know we printed an invoice and label for it but neither the coin nor the
invoice/label is to be found on premises.
I have no other immediate response except to send you a full refund and keep searching.
It would be inappropriate for us to continue to hold your payment under these circumstances.

I will find a 1902-o micro o dollar for you eventually that will be as nice or nicer
than this coin for the same or less money if the original cannot be found.

I just got two new messages from Bob at theconsignmenthub,

" I WILL EITHER FIND THIS COIN OR I WILL FIND YOU A 1902-O micro at a better price.

At this point I have been unable to find the coin, the invoice that was printed, or the label that we paid for to ship the coin with.
We do ship 100 orders a day (no excuse) and list 15,000 coin lots a month on eBay and unfortunately these aggravating
events occur.

Sounds sincere, I'll update my post if/when I hear back from them....

After many fair transactions with them, I was burned on the most recent. I ordered 20 1963 mint sets. I was immediately put off when I received the sets because they were all sealed envelopes (if you have ever bought ORIGINAL mint sets from this era, you know they were unsealed when shipped out by mint/treasury) . When I opened them I was dismayed to find the worst stained ugly sets I had ever seen. Of course returning them was not an option because they were no longer "sealed".

thayes55

The consignmenthub sells alot of junk. Their customer service is horrible. When I wanted to return a coin I was treated like crap. The next time I wanted to purchase something from them I found that I was blocked. Bob is a real jerk and was absolutely rude to me. Never again will I do business with them. I wish them all the worst.
