wildwoodcollectibles- anyone ever deal with this

Frankiefanatic

outfit? Reason I ask, is I bid on a coin that had a BIN/BO and placed an offer on the item, with a note to the seller ( I had bid on it once already). The BIN is way over the top for the raw item as it is, so with my second offer on the item I gave a slight breakdown of my reasoning on the item in question and the fact that he has had it listed since February, so not much movement on it. He, the seller, sends me back an email apologizing for the snafu on the pricing and accepts my offer and asked me to re-offer again...and I did, only to be sent a second will not accept offer- HELL not even a counter offer???? The item is a VF at best- they know it but are attempting to sell at low AU price claiming it to be a XF45..

I normally would have saved this or spoke of this well after the fact- but I really hate Bull chiot game players, especially on the flea bay.

So if you have had a crap deal with this guy or even a good one- speak here, I'm really curious about this..

Nothing fishy. He forgot he has his listing set up to automatically refuse offers under a set amount. Remind him he needs to lower this to cover the lower offer from you.

I have bought and sold to them in the paST, no issues. Some of their stuff seems pricey but hey they have it and if you want it, open the wallet.

I bought from them they are a B&M store and the head guy there knows his stuff. I like them personaly.

He, the seller, sends me back an email apologizing for the snafu on the pricing and accepts my offer and asked me to re-offer again...

I dont understand if he accepted your offer why is he asking you to make another offer?

Uhh- he declined the offer I made him and after review he accepted it and asked me to send the offer again becuz his ass't screwed up on the auto decline action that was setup.
I know they are a B&M and I called and left a message for him to call me, well it is Friday so it must be a short work day...maybe I;ll here from them on Monday-Wednesday..

I have worked with the head guy there if you get ahold of him thing will go smooth if you get a hold of anyone else who knows....

Well if the head guy there is Ron- then he has issues that need to be checked with by a medical professional.

Yu should see the response to me via Ebay- this guys is a clown. If anyone wants to see what he has said PM me and I will send the entire file from beginning to you as proof that this outfit deserves to be flagged by e-bay as a bad apple in the barrel.

I'll find what I'm looking for from a reputable dealer that can find me a decent 1/2 cent in 1856.

Have a great weekend.. you Gossiping Girls you....

Great seller and he accepts FAIR OFFERS when I have made them.

You are already naming the guy and calling his integrity into question so why not just post the conversation here?

He calls it an XF45 but apparently is standing behind it...From the listing in question:
This one would look great in either a NGC or PCGS holder. I will extend the return period for anyone who purchases this coin and has it Certified for up to 90 days or I can submit it to PCGS or NGC for you (fee's not included)

Doesn't sound like something a dodgy seller would offer. I don't know that the coin's a 45 but "VF at best" seems a tad harsh.

Edit to add: for those who want to check out the coin, it's item #360234642140 (ended because it's no longer available)

Too many rim issues for me.I agree that it is only a VF 30-35 coin. I would much rather buy This one if I was looking for an 1856. But to each his own. JMO--Bob

I had NOT seen this one.

just an FYI- I truly hope wildwoodcollectibles will come here and explain his actions, I really do wish he would, then I will post each and every email that he has sent me via ebay- he is not going to like it later this week anyway, I assure you I made a very fair offer on the item in question as it has been posted (I offered $120.00). As for outing the person - well I did mention the name of the company and a few here seem to know him and have worked with him, must have over paid on his items. well maybe he will send the coin in and see what it will really grade out as- then he can relist it with a higher price tag.

Either way- he is a dirt bag seller to me and I can't leave him the proper feedback for weasling on a deal made by him.

There are 2 sides to every story. I do not personally know wildwood but have made offers and never had any issues with them. I generally just make what i consider a fair offer based on the listed price. If i feel the listed price is 10 times guide i generally pass cause there is usually no way to reach a common ground.


I sometimes get offers on coins from people telling me the coin is overgraded, worth only so and so, i need a better price cause i am special, i am a dealer, i was bron in 1950, i love coins etc. Sometimes i do not reply with a real nice answer to those that act like the above.


I sometimes look at it like this- It is my coin and, if you submit an offer you have some intrest in it. If you do not like the price move on, but if you make a 1/2 off offer or tell me the coin is an overgraded pos i will probably respond with less than a friendly reply. I would not sell you the coin at 1 cent less than i listed it for at that point.,

Right On penny

& BTW I Was bron in 1950

You make some very valid points, pennyannie.

I don't know either party, but I think this bashing on a public forum ("needs to be checked by a medical professional," "dirtbag") is quite inappropriate and immature. It diminishes respect for the OP more than it does for the dealer. How truly sad.

Gee Golly, the amount PM's that I have received about this outfit makes me wonder if those here are truly delirious as to what they have encountered. To those that PM'd me YOUR experience with this outfit THANK YOU, for those that say they are great- well I apologize for your lack to attention on what you purchased, I can only go by what this seller agreed to with me- please always read the entire post before making cruel comments- it can make you look foolish. A quick recap- I offered not once but twice- he accepted the same offer the second time then reneged on the sale(after he agreed to it) yes to me that is scum- to bad I call it the way it is. Could care less if he blocks me, I won't bid on what he has- but those that know may tell you the same thing somewhere down the road- listen or better yet - READ what we write.

Hey have a great week everyone.....

Bochiman

I've watched their auctions on ebay over the last few years (4-5?) and, from what I have seen, I would NEVER try to buy from them unless it was slabbed AND I could see it in person (not even talking a return privilege here....would need to be at same show/shop).

NotSure

Bought a few times, never a problem, even when a piece needed returning.

Lets just hang them and be done with it. (Both the OP and Wildwood)


You know it is funny sometimes that some have big problems dealing with a seller and others never have an issue, i guess it is just the luck of the draw sometimes.
