AH-COLLECTIBLES Keyword Spamming with PCGS

What a joke--it's certified by his own company but he puts "Not PCGS" in the auction title!

1892-CC MS65 Not PCGS

I reported that violation to Ebay a few weeks ago. Guess it doesn't matter when you're a power seller.

Brian: I'd probably try to pick up that coin in the Accugrade holder at a coin show for between an MS-60 and MS-63 price -- for about the $550 to $750 price range if I could inspect it and judged it to be at least a high end MS-63 to MS-64 coin. It's about a $1220 coin in MS-64.

I sure would not advise anyone to pay anywhere near the $5300 bid for MS-65. But I wouldn't even pay MS-65 money for either a PCGS-65 or NGC-65 version of it, because it's against my personal buying philosophy.

I like to buy the most cost-effective grade on a "jump grade" coin prior to the jump in price which usually occurs from MS-64 to MS-65.

I'm not trying to advise others on how to spend their money -- just sharing my own way of doing things..

I like how he uses the CU price as a guideline too!

wingedliberty · September 21, 2003 9:35AM

Would you expect anything less from the satan of numismatics.

BigE · September 21, 2003 9:47AM

Absolutely unbelievable! These are the tactics they are resorting to as a last gasp to stay alive--------------BigE

He hates pcgs and quotes then he quotes there priceguide.....

wingedliberty · September 21, 2003 9:52AM

Yes, he is the ultimate hypocrite.

Thanks to the anonymous person that reported the key word spamming in that sale. I just reported it and eBay responded that it had already been reported.

Outhaul · September 21, 2003 10:28AM

Here is the contents of the e-mail I just sent to the seller:

This is pathetic! Now you have to resort to "KEYWORD SPAMMING" in your auction titles to get people to look at an Accucrap coin?

If you're so damned proud of them why don't you just list it for what it is?

You people never cease to amaze me.

The reply should be interesting.

Cheers,

Bob

You guys are going to get banned from his auctions if you keep this up.

As someone who is already banned from his auctions, I know of what I speak.

TayTay · September 21, 2003 11:02AM

You guys (and gals) just stay back. It's worth $6400 and I can buy it now for
$2195!

Barry · September 21, 2003 11:03AM

I'm also banned from bidding on his auctions. Can't you tell how broken up I am about it?

DCAMFranklin · September 21, 2003 11:36AM

Oh good! A new subject that has never been covered in a thread on these forums.

mozeppa · September 21, 2003 11:49AM

sadly

....I banned myself from bidding on his auctions.

roadrunner · September 21, 2003 12:18PM

told them where they could go with their "not-PCGS" drivel.

This answer is not THE GREATEST ANSWER EVER WRITTEN and will not GO DOWN IN THE ANNALS OF NET LORE. Lets just get that straight. So don't give him A GREAT REPUTATION.

Excuse my ignorance... But I clicked on the link, and on the "ME" icon and can't believe that this seller claims that ACG has never received negative comment in 19 years!!! I also am under the assumption that this guy making this claim works at NGC!!!!!

Since I don't look at anything on Ebay unless it's graded by PCGS I guess I am completely in the dark on this one. Would someone "PLEASE" enlighten me!

If you would wrather do this using the "PM" icon, please do so.

Thank you,

Buck Wheat

Russ · September 21, 2003 2:03PM

puff,

What he actually says is that ACG has never received a "major" complaint. I'd guess he has his own definition of major complaint, and that the thousands upon thousands of complaints they have gotten don't qualify under that definition.
