What a load of crap....

I wonder what he is smoking...





Alibaba IS the #1 exporter of counterfeit coins. They are a big reason our hobby has an issue with fakes/counterfeits.



"I want to let you know where I stand on this: Counterfeit goods are absolutely unacceptable, and brands and their intellectual property must be protected. Alibaba is only interested in supporting those manufacturers who innovate and invest in their own brands. We have zero tolerance for those who rip off other people’s intellectual property." Jack Ma quoted from the article...



Then why are there hundreds of listings on their site RIGHT NOW for fake coins, fake bullion and other items for people without morals to peddle to uninformed people? The items offered on their garbage sites alibaba and aliexpress are in direct violation of the HPA. I wonder how yahoo can even post these articles...

    It's not just Chinese counterfeit goods, but Chinese counterfeit companies. Be very wary of investing in any company based in China. Many eventually become delisted from the U.S. exchanges because they won't comply with the financial reporting requirements.

    I would never purchase a coin from the Alibaba marketplace; however, trading BABA has helped to fund some of my Newps.

    Guys, don't worry the CEO said that "counterfeit coins are absolutely unacceptable"...





    It took me 10 seconds to google this result. Doesn't seem like they're trying too hard.

    But... But... He just said last week that the fakes are better than the originals!

    Alibaba’s Jack Ma says fakes are better than originals

    Why would anyone pay $2 plus shipping for a fake 1958 wheat cent when the real one from any local dealer costs less?

    I saw on Alibaba where someone is selling a full set of Morgan Dollars (95 coins and presumably not the 1878 variaties) for $114 plus shipping.

    Like eBay. Pick your poison. An entity that doesn't protect against the load of crap.

    China is currently turning the South China Sea into a large Nuclear armed Base of Airfields and Submarine Ports.



    How is this going to turn out? The Chinese seem to own us. Soon they will control EVERYTHING.



    Oh well, I'll always have my Alibabels to play with.
