While Marc Watts isn't the warmest individual, I am certainly surprised at the assertion that he would walk off with $25,000. He has been doing business as Gaithersburg Coin Exchange for years and has a good reputation to protect. When doing business, he is usually very busy, conducting large volume, and customer service suffers. However, he has always been honest in his dealings with me.
Do not confuse him with Maryland Coin Exchange of Silver Spring.

When we had a retail store, we had shipments of gold bullion coins coining in without so much as an invoice or even a note inside the package. Were these something sent to us that we need to pay for, or something sent to us that we already wired the funds? Or something we ordered and paid for? Or something we ordered and had NOT paid for?
Trying to match our records with the incoming material, often with an order made under a FACTS or Coinnet ID and mailed under an alternate business name often with a different physical return address was often a long chore. So such things can happen, and I am sure Marc Watts will make good on the error. I question the OP for issuing such a disparaging warning on what is almost certainly an inadvertent error.

He's only stating he can't prove what was inside his shipment. Very seldom any of us can do that. I don't think OP would be making all of these accusations if he didn't believe he got ripped.

I agree, that's how I read it as well.....he can't prove what he packed, sent, had received, etc......only his word against theirs....same thing we all go through when sending through ebay or to anyone else.
If you have ever been to his shop you can understand how this could happen. I had to step over a couple of 5 gal. buckets of Silver Dollars just to use the bathroom. Let's just say inventory management is not a strong suit.

I have no dog in this race....I also never bit*ch about what folks post, I really don't care...but I log on and see a business getting trashed in a forum that is suppose to be about coins, yeah coins! Not what if's or I got screwed...bla, bla, by a guy who is a ghost (by ghost I mean a stranger) now all of the sudden there are (4) pages of speculation on what happened.
Yeah, it seems like news, or it get's a click......but really folks, is this what we have turned into?
So now we are judge & jury..with no facts what so ever..I don't think so, but this forum has power, and it IMO should not be used like this!
I am not sending anyone 25k, the few times i have sold coins straight to Heritage i have driven over early enough in the day to take the check they have written me to their bank a few blocks away to cash it. Companies fail all the time.

Smart people do not come on a public forum and argue about private business matters, especially when there
is a threat of legal action by the OP.
<< <i>OP admits he can't prove his loss here >>
He's only stating he can't prove what was inside his shipment. Very seldom any of us can do that. I don't think OP would be making all of these accusations if he didn't believe he got ripped.

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
