I'm probably the only one thinking this, but the whole bit about getting so upset when someone says they think your coin is a certain grade, and it is graded higher, or you know better, or you think it is higher, and being all mouthy and saying you would buy all they have at that grade/price.....is just so overplayed.
It's probably funny the first time. Maybe a chuckle the 2nd time.
After that, it just gets so old and stupid hearing it.
Probably just getting old and grumpy, but after being the boards this long, and seeing how people still use that type of phrasing.....well, I do tend to lose respect for them and just take to not reading any further from them. Makes me think they have a lack of people skills or just want to try to prove themselves "better" than the other person.
It's one thing to say it when someone is purposely trying to beat the price/grade down. It's another when someone makes an honest judgment and may have some learning to do. Then, imho, it's just rude.

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

I haven't thought about that to be honest, but I think I am ambivalent. What I am tired of are those members who comment on a thread showing the results of your newest submission only to say that one or more are over-graded. I wonder how intolerable they must be in person.
1880 S Morgan PCGS MS 66, bright white, should have graded MS 67.
When you see this 15 times every page, when you finally get to a raw coin what are you suppose to think about the grade offered there?
There's a reason PCGS put it into an MS 66 holder. Why substitute your judgement for theirs?
Yep - old and grumpy.
......and "GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!"

have always irritated me.... one contemporary is the use of the word 'like'...in conversation
and in print... grrrrrrrrrr Cheers, RickO
Speaking of bad...Along the same lines as "my bad", etc... A personal irritant is endeavoring to complete a conversation with someone who follows every sentence with redundant phrases like "you know" or "and that"... "I was at Bob's table lookin' at coins and that, and he had all kinds of Morgans and that..." Arrgh. We had one guy who was a regular at area shows who did it so often there was usually an over/under on how many times he'd say it before leaving the table.
