LOL, I like the customer complaint department.

Clankeye · January 31, 2004 9:21AM

Funny, timely, filled with wisdom and a joy for the whole family.

I would love to see somebody walkup to Crap-u-slab's customer service rep and say "Mister, I don't think this coin is really a 64!"

I'd pay money for that pleasure.

Well done, Twodogs.

Some hilarious sh*t in there, but that font is a killer on the eyes.

"Q: Isn't that a conflict of interest?
A: I'm interested in making money, therefore, no conflict."

Love it.

,,,,," 115% restocking fee".

CoinAddict · January 31, 2004 9:44AM

LOL. That is a great auction. Maybe it will be able to help steer people away from the other fake grading services that are being made with the CoinWorld holders.

Louis · January 31, 2004 9:45AM

I think some Hillbilly must have bid on that one.

Tassa · January 31, 2004 9:47AM

stman · January 31, 2004 9:47AM

BTW, care to reveal the reserve?

cosmicdebris · January 31, 2004 9:48AM

JC you are a f&*^%ing riot!

foodude · January 31, 2004 9:54AM

What is "Crap-U-Slab's" turnaround time?

If there is a TV or telemarketer interested in having coins slabbed, is there a massive bulk discount?

Is it true that "Crap-U-Slab" gets and slabs so much AT, that it tends to reject NT coins because their grader forgot what the real thing looks like?

Bear · January 31, 2004 9:55AM

I got a bunion collection. Should I use plasters on them, or have them slabbed?

atomic · January 31, 2004 9:59AM

Crack it and dip it!

aRabidChipmunk · January 31, 2004 10:02AM

Hahahahahaaahhaaaa!

I'm still laughing!

That has made my evening.

TWODOGS · January 31, 2004 10:14AM

I put it in the featured items for good coverage. I'm hoping that many, many newbies see it and realize that all that stuff out there in SGS and other people's slabs is nothing but garbage.

If I can get the word out...it's worth the $25 bucks or so listing fee.

$99.99 is the reserve.

JrGMan2004 · January 31, 2004 10:24AM

Hehe, good job TWODOGS! That's hilarious!!!

Glad I found people to tell me to stay away from the craptacular slabbers early on, before I ever bought a plastic... Hey, I know, you're "Telemarketer Bulk Submission Special" Could just be called the "Craptacular Service"

Dollars · January 31, 2004 10:28AM

Twodogs. I want a crap-u-slab. Could I send you a crap coin for you to overgrade and slab.

I love it. I want one. I would but this one but it is very high priced crap. I need cheaper crap.

TWODOGS · January 31, 2004 10:29AM

My motto could be, "A bodybag for every Gem!"

Dollars · January 31, 2004 10:30AM

I think I've got a frankie around here that is no gem. A pocket piece.

What do ya think?

TWODOGS · January 31, 2004 10:32AM

Dollars,

Sure. It's gotta be real garbage though. I've got my standards, you know!

cladking · January 31, 2004 10:35AM

Very nice. May I suggest a slogan- - Our crap don't stink at least.

TWODOGS · January 31, 2004 10:51AM

In the "Frequently Asked Questions" section I originally had the question, "Why the name "Crap-U-Slab?" The answer was: "I wanted a name that people would automatically associate with slabbed garbage and ACG was already taken."

I removed it because I thought someone might complain and ebay would boot the auction.

jeffnpcb · January 31, 2004 10:56AM

If you put SAMPLE SLAB, Cameron would be all over it!

TWODOGS · January 31, 2004 10:59AM

<< If you put SAMPLE SLAB, Cameron would be all over it!

>>

Cameron already approached me months ago when I first came up with the idea for the auction. I've got the prefect coin for him, but haven't gotten the label printed yet. He's been annoying me lately, but I'm a man of my word and will get it to him.

Cam40 · January 31, 2004 11:10AM

This is fantastic TWODOGS.
Thats going to a valuable slab I,ll bet. #000001?
I,m sure Conder101 would like to own that one for his collection.
You oughta give him first shot at it. Or just make um all #000001s? lol

Seriously, I think it would be fun to have you `crap slab` a coin of mine for me.
Whats the rate for members and estimated turnaround time?

Cam40 · January 31, 2004 11:12AM

I see braddick has his sights set on it right now......lol

Dollars · January 31, 2004 11:13AM

Ok Twodogs, give me an address and in the mean time I will put it in the oven with the porkchops I'm roasting. It should turn out great with a wonderful aroma.

TWODOGS · January 31, 2004 11:15AM

<< Seriously, I think it would be fun to have you `crap slab` a coin of mine for me.

Cameron's turnaround time has been 6 months, so far. But like I said, he's been annoying. I was going to charge him shipping, the cost of the slab and $2.00 for myself to make it an even $10.

Cam40 · January 31, 2004 11:18AM

6 months!?!?!?!?!?!.

Oh I see, You DO have a reputation to keep huh.

Cam40 · January 31, 2004 11:19AM

Cam40 · January 31, 2004 11:23AM

BB those gems.

cosmicdebris · January 31, 2004 11:24AM

Dang I got out bid

wingedliberty · January 31, 2004 11:26AM

Cam40:
You get my vote for the best sig line on the forum, only second to AmericanSilverEagleCoins visual impact.

Dollars · January 31, 2004 11:28AM

I guess turnaround time for those who don't complain will be about 8 months

aRabidChipmunk · January 31, 2004 11:31AM

I see the reserve price on the auction has been met.

Dollars · January 31, 2004 11:34AM

I'm not the only one who wants a Crap-U-Slab. This could be a untapped market indeed.

ursabear · January 31, 2004 11:34AM

Mr. Two Dogs,

What an absolute joy! I laughed out loud when I saw it.

You're a wonder and an inspiration!

Jimmy Bear

JrGMan2004 · January 31, 2004 11:40AM

Hey TWODOGS, will you accept coins still in their original PCGS and NGC bodybags?

I'm gettin a real kick out of this...

TWODOGS · January 31, 2004 11:40AM

Jimmy Bear,

Long time no type. Hope you have been doing well.

NoGvmnt · January 31, 2004 11:43AM

please define; finest crap . Would that be "finest" in the top of the line or bottom of the line?

Jim

Gandyjai · January 31, 2004 11:53AM

Best piece of crap I've ever seen!

I bet you get over a 1,000 hits before it ends!

Gandyjai >>

I hope so. I hate seeing all the high dollar bids by people with low feedback numbers on these scam artists' auctions.

I never really expected the coin to sell, however.

joeyuk · January 31, 2004 12:39PM

I love it.

Gandyjai · January 31, 2004 12:41PM

I agree with you 100%!!! It HURTS coin collecting!....Once these newbies found out they've been had, it leaves
a sour taste in their mouth and they are less likely to continue buying coins on the internet or persuing an interest
that has scam artists around around every corner telling you lies to your face with false descriptions, products and
pictures. In most places, this is illegal and considered fraud!

Maybe, one day, eBay will get their act together and shut down these thieves.
Until then, the BEST thing to do is properly educate these "newbies" so they don't get taken.
Auctions like the one you put up are a GREAT way to do this.

If you are not in the educaton field,....you should be! We need more people like you!

...are you sure it's not just a very careful Cameron?

Three and a half years ago I was taken on this very coin. I liked the colors, so it didn't matter all that much. But...it cost me a pretty penny to learn the lesson.

Gandyjai · January 31, 2004 1:09PM

I have a PCGS box that I keep my "lessons" in.
I use them as reference. I still get "taken" occasionally

.....just not as often.

Gandyjai

Dollars · January 31, 2004 1:33PM

Well Twodogs, it looks like you will have to ship that sucker. It has met your reserve. I know you did not intend it to sell, but it did.

Still think it is a great idea.

TWODOGS · February 1, 2004 2:20AM

The auction has only been up for 18 hours and there's 535 hits on the counter. It's paid off, putting it in the "Featured Item's" listings.

If it makes just ONE person back off and not bid on those scam auctions...it's been worth it.

Dollars · February 3, 2004 7:33AM

Brother Twodogs, it looks like the coin is now over your reserve. As I have said before, I am not the only one that wants a crap-u-slab. You could make quite a side line putting our bad luck into slabs. Its one thing to have a coin that you learned a lesson on, but to have it in a slab that also reminds you at a glace what crap is really out there is a better reminder.
