After a few back and forth email exchanges with a person who had currency and coins to sell, they then proceeded to give us their terms. Here they are, for your amusement:
I would like to have cash- no reporting it to irs that way- you may come pick it all up with the cash- will accept $90,000.00 for all the coins and $75,000.00 cash for all the paper money- that is about 8% of it's total value so that if you are a dealer you can have the rest of them graded and still make a hell of a profit, or I will ship the entire safe- enclosed in plywood to you with an initial bank wired transfer of at least $100,000.00 of the total then when you get the items you pay the balance due and I will give you the 8 digit combination to open the safe- no-one will know what it is except that it is heavy as hell- about 400 pounds of coins and paper money- there is also another box i found with more coins and paper money that is not listed that will go with the sale- sorry but no I will not allow anyone to go thru the items cherrypicking- it;s all of either the coins-the paper or both/or none of either at all. now if you are interested that is what I want- the extra box of items will add about $9,000.00 to the total list- you may come- send employee for pickup- or call with setup of bank transfer- wish there was a holding company that could hold the initial payment until shipped- release it then release the balance once you have the stuff in hand- maybe you have dealt with some company like that?? let me know---xxx-xxx-xxxx 10am-11pm est.

ok folks it is time to make up your mind and quit the bulls%#@ting around- eith you want to buy the items or you do not- stop wasting my time so i can get on with my other stuff that needs to be done-now we have played your games for over a month- I have bills that need to be paid and do not need to keep playing your little games - so if you want to buy fine-if not let me know and I will get on with another method of sales such as ebay or coin auction/ you have told me one lie after another that you were going to send payments- pay thru paypal- send bank checks and so on- so far it has all been lies-now I run a business and do not have time for this- if you are coming say so and do so- if you are buying say so and do so- I will do it a cheaper way since it is showing that neither of you have the money you say you have to buy with- I will allow you to make 1 payment of 1200.00 to paypal-list your shipping information-I will ship you 25 bills or 25 coins for you to price -you then make an offer for them all- if I accept you pay the balance to paypal- if I do not you return my items and I refund your money-but I will not ship any items without some payment in advance-sorry I have been very stupid in life but I am not doing that- Now today you make up your mind-call me on the phone at xxx-xxx-xxxx and tell me yes you want the items- yes you are paying paypal now- yes you agree to take 25 pcs. at a time for review-yes you will pay the balance of all offers within 3 days of receiving the items-yes you are ready to do business.Pay me today I will ship on monday- items will be to you likely by Wednesday and we can complete sale number 1 in this week- unless you are coming here to buy at one lumpsum. Now you have all had ample time to look the lists over- so you know some are graded and some are not, that has been said upfront and that is why we are asking the low amount for the sale- so you as a buyer may have them graded and still make about a 75% profit on your investment.
This is a scam. Imho

Only an 8-digit combination? What kind of lame-o safe are they using?

It sounds like the seller is only willing to deal via an inventory list, will not show actual coins.

Having dealt with people like that in the past from time to time, I would guess that if it exists at all that the safe has "golden dollars", circ. Ikes and $2 bills from the 1970's.
For a guy who is super-paranoid about being shortchanged or ripped off, he sure is leaving a lot of "profit" on the table. An interesting combination of paranoid greediness and (he says) extreme generosity.
I think hunting for Bigfoot would have a much higher probability of success than doing a deal with this person.

Sounds about right. Especially his comment that those 5-6 figure sums are about 8% of the value of his collection. I suppose if his math is (price paid on the shopping network) * (rate inflation) * (# of years ago purchases were made) maybe his calculations are correct

Don't forget to take that $174,000 in cash down the dark alley!!!

Better hurry up before someone else grabs this deal.

He wants cash so he doesn't have to report to the IRS but he'll accept a 100K bank wire transfer? O-kay.
Sounds like he's a few french fries short of a Happy Meal.

The fact that he wants only cash and doesn't want it reported to the IRS is a deal killer.
