my very first collection got ripped off in about 1970 or so.
It was my older brother and some friends that stole it for beer and smokes.
The traded a bunch of silver dollars, quarters, dimes, buffalo nickels and IHCs for face value for the party goods.
I have theives with a passion.
Sorry, I can't feel sorry for that.
Is it me or are the prices on those dreck coins egregiously high?
Yeah... that's why they're on Craigslist!!
www.brunkauctions.com
whoever posted that on CL is assuming much risk over about $30 worth of coins (sexual orientation slur and all)
If you rip someone off, shouldn't you expect to be badmouthed?
The reason I posted it was because of the colorful descriptors that some folks use.
Civil case, not a criminal case.
Unless he used someone else's check.
A bad check is not theft, it's a bad check.
Civil case, not a criminal case.
Unless he used someone else's check.
IMO anyone who writes a check that they know is no good or that they don't intend to honor is a thief plain and simple, regardless of circumstances. He may just as well have broken into the guy's home and taken them.

Now that I will agree with, but taking a check on a CL transaction kind of deserves what you got coming to you.
Maybe the buyer realized HE was taken paying $200+ for $30 in junk coins and put a stop on the check? There's always another side.

Maybe so, but that doesn't give him the right to keep the coins. He likely willingly overpaid because he had no intention of honoring the check. I'd write a $1,000 check for a $200 coin if I knew I'd never honor the check.

Seems like it would be hard to prove the check was for the coins unless explicitly noted in craigslist email messages. Live an learn for the seller. The buyer will probably go to pawn shop and make $20. Also coins are way over-graded. Maybe it is Karma. It serves him right to lose the money with the kind of language he thinks it ok.
He likely wouldn't have responded that way had the buyer been honest. Not defending him, but was he supposed to call the buyer a wonderful person? Add in the fact that after the fact he was able to scare up a pic from a county jail site.

Doesn't this belong on the U.S. Coin Forum?
That was where I thought I posted it initially. I don't think there is any value in re-posting it there now.
