Anyone Familiar with PAPPS FAMILY LIQUIDATORS????

They run almost daily auctions on E-Bay, seemingly using shill bidders (Their top bidder has place of 1.6 million bids with a feedback rating of 8)

They list other peoples coins (They listed 5 of my coins) then shill bid them high enough to let the next bidder place a bid that allows them to cover fees, make a little $ and then buy the coin. As you can imagine, most of the coins never really sell.

I placed a bid on one of my own coins (1900-S Morgan PCGS MS64 PL) for $3000. Its a $1000 coin. Guess what, I won it for exactly $3000. They then went off E-Bay to send my invoicing and removed all my bids thru E-Bay so they wouldn't have to pay the fees. After the coin sold, they tried to buy the coin from APMEX (I let APMEX list some of my inventory on their website for me)

They do no take PayPal either.

Any one else???

I should have added, they have terrible feedback

If you win something, somehow they have been able to remove your bids and eliminate the ability for you to leave feedback. Pretty clever scammers.

Shady. I keep seeing them on there and wondering who they are.

But to help you out I will buy your 1900-S 64PL for 325.

James, thanks for outing the PAPPS. I've never bought nor sold from them, but now they are on my excrement list.

Segola,

Great detective work. I love seeing these crooks outed.

Yuck. What's so hard about getting a real job and actually working for a living?

This answers some questions on a coin I've seen on ebay that they recently "sold"

So are you going to forward the invoice to eBay so they get kicked off?

I would think ebay would like to know about this con artist... I am sure they would ban their crooked butt... Cheers, RickO

I posted about these jokers here a month ago and was roasted by a couple of people. Total scammers.
