    This thread strikes me as inappropriate and possibly a rules violation.

    I know nothing about this site. It may be good or bad or worse. HOWEVER...

    Any REALLY GOOD site should be vetting it's dealers. There are a LOT of amateur dealers at shows that would be hard- pressed to present business bona fides. Just because a site made it hard to gain acceptance proves nothing.

    I don't want to pick a fight. You can charge whatever you want. But the prices on your circulated world coins don't exactly say "highly respected numismatist". It says "Etsy" to me.

    Well, we can nitpick pricing on every dealers site for every reason. I like what I sell. If you dont like the price, you have a free make offer button to ask and I will most likely take a fair price, I won't hide that I will sell you something and then dont or give you my word and back off.. I am saying this other site had promised dealers and lied. How many go back on their word? Happens all the time. This site did just that.

    I know nothing about that site. But they promised to vet the dealers, not accept all dealers who apply. That is true of numerous respected numismatic businesses. Your choosing to try and get even with them by libeling them may undermine your reputation more than theirs. I would ask that you reconsider this thread.

    The OP stated:

    I recently found out a couple dealers who applied who also sell quite a lot of inventory were restricted from selling. Why, I cannot say, but be warned, this thing seems like a scam.

    Now it appears that it was the OP who was rejected by the site. He didn't mention that in his post and in fact tried to make the experience sound generic and suggested that he was raising the issue as some kind of public service.

    In reality, he just has an axe to grind.

    I looked at his site - very polished presentation but an eclectic mix of material, small we say. And the prices charged for the things I am familiar with are a little absurd.

    I know nothing about Numismy, but so far, I'm on their side.

    And before the OP tells me that I am always free to make an offer, remember that you only have one chance to make a first impression.

    If you grind any more, you won't have an axe left. Like others have said, your pricing on your site goes to the moon and beyond.

    Looks like a gold-stickered rattler, so probably more like $350-$400.

    Have you seen it? It is definitely a 67+/ or 68 in my opinion, you can decide..WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER DEALERS WHO SELL OVER PRICED that people just gracefully buy from?

    I highly doubt a 65 is undergraded 3 points. I’ll leave it at that.

    We give them a hard time when they misrepresent themselves. Rick Snow is highly respected in the community but we gave him several pages of crap for a misleading description.

    Do you deserve more benefit of the doubt than him?

    It's also your misrepresentation of the situation in your original post, and also your attempt to erase the whole thing by changing the first post to something unrelated.

    The OP has gone by at least two different handles here on the boards and has been banned twice. One of those times he got into an argument as to why eBay banned him and he couldn't get around the fact they wouldn't re-instate him.
    I could dig around past PM from other members here for better clarifications, but between him and mikee999s 'reincarnation' it gets tiring.

    The problem is when you price your inventory intentionally high, no one will make an offer. They won't even bother to look at your coins, because you are playing games. My advice, price your items at levels you are comfortable accepting. You will be taken more seriously and appear less likely to be looking for a sucker.

    Fair point. However, even 67FBs go for $200, $250 tops. $980 asking price is delusional.

    You most certainly overpaid. Don't think that you can make a profit off everything by listing it at over 2x what you spent, because that will almost never work. I get that the rattler and gold CAC sticker are appealing to many people, but even then paying $400 is overkill, let alone expecting people will buy it from a less reputable seller for more than double the already-high price.

    Ah, yes. What a glorious disaster that thread proved to be.

    I suppose we shouldn't be surprised that the guy who was kicked off eBay is having trouble getting approved as a dealer

    What we have learned from the thread YOU started is that you haven't learned anything from the ebay experience.
