From another forum, not me, but troubling. Any members here know of this place? Link below is of their website.

Looked at their website...nobody carries that much inventory. Looks like they just copied a price list from somewhere.

Hope others are on the lookout! Apparently they are selling but not shipping the items.

Looking at the CC thread link the person who reported a problem was a new poster and never returned with an update. Not sure the initial complaint is valid.

There are a number of sellers out there who have a drop address/PO Box, don't take credit cards, and are on the up and up. That said, they have positive reputations (I've even met a few in person) and afaik don't use a pricing guide as an inventory list (and have actual coin photos).

I'd like to think that a buyer would at least get photos and references before diving into that kind of situation! Personally, that would be a MINIMUM of due diligence! And, if the deal was so good that one felt they had to jump on it, well....then it's time to double down on due diligence.

Thanks for the cautionary post.... the website looks impressive, but car salesmen dress nice too... (sorry, I am sure there are some good car sales people out there ... somewhere). I do wonder why the thread posted has no updates by the OP...Cheers, RickO

All in all it's just another crawlspace in the wall.............
