Wow unsearched rolls with cc showing on end coin, wow, wow, really neat, cool, hey why didn't you check the whole roll? Oh if they are unsearched how do you know they are mercury?? Cool stuff...
Marked as spam. Immediately after joining he was reprimanded for posting too many items in the BST. He's got an eBay feedback of 5 and he's selling "unsearched" Mercury rolls where no Mercury is showing..
So I appreciate your concern Mr mach1ne, but I am simply reselling the same roll I purchased at another auction and am listing it for half the price that I paid. If I was stupid for doing that, fine. But it is out of necessity that I am selling my collection to pay for a radiation treatment my insurance won't cover. I only have a feedback of 5 because I am not some big coin dealer that does this for a living. I am simply trying to survive. If you do not wish to help me by buying, then please do not assume the worst in people and try to prevent me from trying.
The "unique" seated dimes are nice, but I imagine they are not the only ones in existence, unless you purchased them from Gerry Fortin. Any unique seated coinage usually brings more than a few hundred dollars? Jus sayin'
72 hour no reserve on most everything. Everything must go to raise funds. Apologies to those who think I am spamming on a 'buy-sell-trade' board. I am not sure how else to get the word out.

1 "ONE" bump PER DAY. You already have 4 "FOUR" today. EDIT your posts instead of creating new ones.
You started off on a bad foot with your multiple posts and how you have done things. Stop making it worse for yourself.
Stay within forum conventions else you will turn off even more people

I agree with the above and in addition ignoring well respected members like Bochi can only make it even tougher to do business on the board.

I have repeatedly apologized for my inexperience on message boards (SEE ABOVE). If @Bochiman wishes for a response then perhaps he could enlighten me how to fix my errors instead of harassing me about them. And if anyone who still feels threatened by my very existence on this board, move on to the next thread. Life is too short!! I have not started any new threads and I do not intend to out of fear of attack. Perhaps someone could tell me how to remove old discussion posts so I am not hunted down by the above 'well respected members'. And if coin collecting as a hobby is led by such people @Cakes then good riddance. Bitter coin dealers who get off on the misery of others have ruined the hobby for years and do not deserve our respect.
Thank You @bestday and all others for your support. People sometimes need perfect strangers to help them get through the tough times.
First off, you haven't been "harassed" about them, at least by me.
I pointed out that you made the initial mistakes and then I also pointed out that you bumped your own thread 3+ times in 1 day instead of editing your posts to give anything updated you wanted.
You said " I am not sure how else to get the word out". I give you the how NOT to do it on these boards. I have been here for awhile and seen successful, and not successful, people/trends.
It's up to you to decide to take the advice, or not. I really don't care if you do/don't, as I am not the one pushing myself on others to sell.
What I see, and what makes me decide not to deal with people, are traits that you are displaying:
Join and immediately go to the selling
break forum conventions because it doesn't fit what you want
have dubious goods for sale (the "unopened roll of mercury dimes" with coins with CC shown at each end....when questioned, just reply "that's how I bought them and I am selling for below what I paid'. People on these forums have seen those types of rolls hose many people and those things seem to bring out certain thoughts by folks because of that.
Plead ignorance and apologize and then attack those that make comments that aren't "satisfactory" to them/helping them sell.
You have your reasons for selling, and those are your reasons. No one is butting in on those. People here have seen a number of scammers, a number of authentic people with needs for selling, etc, and people tend to approach things in different manners. Attacking others, such as Cakes, is uncalled for.
Best of luck to you, but I have no further desire to engage with you for reasons that I think, for those that have been around a bit, will understand (and I am not talking about me personally, but the general view).
I appreciate the fact that there are experienced coin collectors on this board which is why I came here. I also understand how over many years you see people come and go. I am not a long time collector and am inexperienced and have made bad purchases (i.e.. rolls). I am also not the only one who bids on such things and am not expecting anyone to bid on it unless they want to.
As for the rules, I only point out that I feel harassed because people are quick to point out what NOT to do (bullying), without offering advice on how to do it better. In a family of educators, that is foreign to me. And regardless of how long someone has "been here", is that any way to welcome new people to an established board? I hear 'bumped' and 'edited' and I have NO IDEA what you are referring to because I have not been here and am new to message boards in general. I sell out of sheer necessity right now and come here for advice on how to get more people to see what I am selling. Is that not the purpose of the "buy, sell,trade" board?
Looking at rfisher Ebay offering reminds of many seeing collections like rfisher's from older gentlemen, estates trying to sell at .. local coin shows .. that is selling for a reason . He is selling all ,, not likely to return to forum for awhile . so lecturing a forum newbie will now be of little value .
Good luck with your listings
Bestday, we all love a good story. Some of them are true.
That said, I hope no one gets burned by this and, as you said, it is very likely the OP is ONLY here to sell and then disappear.
I would prefer to support forum members who want to be members and contribute, who follow forum convention and rules (ie...respect the rest of us and our hosts), and seem above board and beyond.
Since you have taken the stance of being the key supporter here, and bumping the thread repeatedly, I hope no one gets burned and things work out well all around. I, personally, wouldn't put myself in that position.
Yep...I have. Thanks for pointing that out. I NEVER would have noticed that without you (btw...I have only done it when it was near the top of the 1st page...in other words...when it didn't matter).
Ooops....that's 5 now. Maybe you will point that out too? ;
Hey there Bochiman ,I remember several forum members getting ripped off right here on BST, over last couple of years..... rfishers transactions are on Ebay so little/no chance of getting burned
Of course this poster will be gone after he sells his items .....makes no difference.. Judging by the amount of bids in rfishers items ,you can bet some forum members bought/bid on his items
Whether his story is Bs .. that is his problem if it is so
I am thinking rfisher sucked out some of the buying money on BST.. but look at Great Collections post...many nice coins there
Merry Christmas to all

rfisher, I most definitely don't lead anything coin related. I was only trying to point out that if you follow the rules and take advice from well respected members your journey here would be easier.

My bad @cakes for the misunderstanding. I was referring to the aforementioned leader in your comment and felt ganged up on when a couple people were giving me such a hard time for not knowing rules. That was unproductive conversation and is over. Thanks to all who have shown support up until now and will continue over the next couple weeks until I have sold everything. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Many prices just slashed down to generate some bids. Thanks everyone.
The wolves are out .. let the forum member offer coins, and then let the market decide ..
