Only bump a item to the top after the item is sold to you.

Post about an auction lot on which you intend to bid before the hammer has fallen.

fastfreddie · July 23, 2014 5:03AM

Ask an opinion from a casual acquaintance on a coin you are thinking of purchasing.

LochNESS · July 23, 2014 5:04AM

Post a new thread every week advertising your auctions instead of bumping the same thread ... sorry GC, I couldn't resist

MGLICKER · July 23, 2014 5:05AM

Invite your new neighbor "Snake" over to look at your gold coins.

LochNESS · July 23, 2014 5:07AM

Bury your stolen gold hoard in a can in the backyard and forget to retrieve them and/or leave a treasure map for your kin folk before you croak ...

Post a bunch of problem coins that are not in PCGS slabs, expecting to sell them easily.

Don't try to find other Susan B. Anthony collectors gathering for tea in the mornings.

Trash a seller's good name before a full due process is exhaused and extended patience practiced.

MGLICKER · July 23, 2014 6:00AM

Hand your grandkids a roll of BU Morgans and a box of Crayola's

LindeDad · July 23, 2014 6:15AM

Let anybody know you like that quarter?

Comment in a negative way on someone else's thread

Or expect more than melt for them.

Boosibri · July 23, 2014 6:20AM

Include anything to the effect of "POR" or "make an offer"

123cents · July 23, 2014 6:20AM

Commenting negatively about a coin for sale. ( Unless it is a obvious fake being sold as geniune.)

roadrunner · July 23, 2014 7:13AM

Price your generic gold type coins at 10-20% over market and wonder why no one responds.

My favorite...buy a coin off the BST and immediately put it back on the BST for a higher price before you even receive the con. Have one person in mind on this one.

Was that coin, or con?

Is it ok to try to find out if a Ebay seller is a member here? Interested in a coin offered by saharacoins, there's a number listed maybe I should just call. Would rather deal outside Ebay, maybe save money for the both of us.

LochNESS · July 24, 2014 11:12AM

I'm unsure, actually, but I can tell you my personal experience and you draw your own conclusion:

- I have seen Forum members advertise their eBay stores on our BST and say "10% discount to Forum members" or "free shipping for Forum members"

- I have sent eBay message to sellers who I know for a fact are Forum members, after I bid and won their coin(s), mentioning the Forum, and they have ignored or denied it. Apparently they don't want the connection made. Perhaps because their personal contact info is on the eBay transaction but their Forum persona is "private"
