Very Pissed Off I bought a 1986/2007 Proof Silver Eagle Set and Recieved Ms set instead.

YaHa · February 14, 2008 4:08AM

I recently bought a complete set of Ngc graded coins on a tv coin show called AANtv.com coin show on channel 324 on Direct Tv out of St Petersburg Fla. On the screen the auctioneer was talking/selling/auctioning and showing a beautiful complete set of (NGC Proof 69) Silver eagle Ultra Cameo bullions dollars, I made a bid of $800.00 and the auctioneer said I STOLED IT, he sold it. He stated buyer you got a steal of a deal!! Happy as a lark, I paid with my Bank card and the juice + shipping was $887.95. I even verified it with the customer service rep and she told me yes indeed a complete Proof set.

Ok a week later I get my delivery and boom, there is a complete Mint State set of 1986/2007 in a raggy piece of $hit box and the coins are not PRoof cameos. I called right away and they told me they had to view the tapes and listen to the taped phone calls. Two days later I get a call and they tell me, yes you saw the correct coins on the tv screen and the auctioneer did say you stoled it, sold the proofs to you, but the Graphics/information at the bottom of the screen were for a complete set of (Mint State Silver eagles), not the Proof cameos. I said that is not flucking fair, I also told them I would never buy another thing from them. She said send them back and we will give you a full refund. Make matters worse she told me that I couldn't get a refund on my shipping the coins back to them, but instead they would give me a $25 credit towards another sale with them.

Now here is their policy, they are not responsible for "ERRORS OR OMISSIONS" what in the world does that mean, while just last night the auctioneer put a $1,499.00 VS 1 H quality 1/2 carat diamond ring 18k band and put a buy it now price of $149.00 instead of $1,499.00 and had to sell it to the buyer due to policy. $149.00 for a 1/2 carat top of the line diamond ring and band the gold band had 12 grams of 18k gold in it.

Help me out dealers and coin experts do I have any recourse? I did Tivo the sale that night and did noticed the graphics did state MS, but that was not what he was selling. Thanks For any help.

Just stop right there....

ahooka454 · February 14, 2008 4:11AM

WTF are youy doing buying that crap from the tv? Come one. You, really. WTF?

edited to add: are they stickered?

ziggy29 · February 14, 2008 4:14AM

I notice you joined here in December. Did you order these after December? If so, I find it hard to believe with all the horror stories here, that anyone who reads these boards regularly would buy from these home shopping clowns.

dbldie55 · February 14, 2008 4:14AM

This is funny. Thanks for sharing.

jmski52 · February 14, 2008 4:14AM

Get as much money back as quickly as you can - and move on. Lesson learned.

ricko · February 14, 2008 4:17AM

I never cease to be amazed at people buying from these tv hucksters - and then are upset when the product is less than expected. Cheers, RickO

Bochiman · February 14, 2008 4:18AM

Just tell them you would be happy to work with their terms and could you have the names of the people you talked to? You want to make sure everything is accurate for the newspaper and TV news channels that you will tell your story to

When my Grandma was alive, she knew I collected coins and without fail, every Birthday and Christmas I would get some TV gimmic coin, like an old west set of coins in a capital like holder that had a harshly cleaned Indian, Buffalo and a few other coins. I never had the heart to tell her that this was total crap.

How long of a drive is it to the tv studio???

ahooka454 · February 14, 2008 4:23AM

So are they stickered? And if they are not, are you going to send them in?

Fairlaneman · February 14, 2008 4:23AM

Will you try the flyers that come in your bills or in junk mail next? Geez.....

Booky this is a consignment auction house, it's not like Shop at home or HSN, it's like fleebay sort of, the coins I placed a bid on were beauties. And yes I did say recently in my opening but this was in November/07 according to my Tivo date. What made me write this is what I saw last night when they "SAID" they had to give the buyer that ring in mentioned.

Still waiting for what "Omissions And Errors mean they are not responsible for?

Russ · February 14, 2008 4:28AM

No, you don't have any recourse beyond the refund they have offered.

Russ, NCNE

1600 miles at least, last time I went from Maryland to Ft Myers it was exactly 1723 so I zoom past St Pete around the 1600 mile mark.

Thanks Russ that's all I needed and hopefully whom ever else would buy from this Consignment auction house to send them a "Beware"

BECOKA · February 14, 2008 4:30AM

That stinks.

I like the idea of getting all of the names and running with the news and paper scenario.

doh · February 14, 2008 4:31AM

Very true. You should be happy to get any money back at all. I know you say it's not HSN, but it's still a TV show. Lesson learned.

YaHa · February 14, 2008 4:32AM

<< So are they stickered? And if they are not, are you going to send them in? >>

Booky read it again, they were NGC 69's slabbed and graded, I sent them back of course, I know the prices of Ms/ compared to Proof cameos that's for sure, if any of you guys find me a set of Ngc or Pcgs slab graded 69's pm I will buy anyday for $800.00

mach19 · February 14, 2008 4:33AM

You might want to change your avatar.

nutz4coinz · February 14, 2008 4:36AM

Though it stinks you got the wrong set..........you did violate Rule #1!!!

Send 'em back yesterday!!! There should be some way to get shipping refunded both ways, seeing how THEY sent MS and not proof. Squeaky wheel, remember that.

Maybe not blowhead/avatar, I did get my money back!! God I love you guys.

jamakin · February 14, 2008 4:40AM

Considering the cost of running /brodcasting a TV show you should understand that they can never, never, never offer anything at a fair price.
If you watch and think "hey that's a bargin" think again.
They are at best good viewing in order to help you learn how to spot the lie.

ahooka454 · February 14, 2008 4:44AM

I have to say the only thing I ever bought from the tube was a really nice Swiss Legend watch. I have it on right no. Its the best watch I have ever owned. I also got a good deal on it.

I guess as long as you got your chedder back, thats all that matters.

nutz4coinz · February 14, 2008 4:44AM

I checked the website out...they are selling stuff like this??????

I would watch it and wait for that $1,499.00 ring to show up for $149.00 and leave the coins alone....

edited to add: notice its in a CW holder.....I know you all could see it, just a point of reference

YaHa · February 14, 2008 4:44AM

Don't get junk mail!!! Geez to you......

adamlaneus · February 14, 2008 5:02AM

Take a look at this 1987 Eagle Proof they are selling for $78.

Eagle 'proof'

Ouch!

That's the beauty, mirror finish and a San Fran coin to boot. See I think some nut doesn't know how to list the graphics right and same happened to me. I guess, but I damn knew what I was buyin for my $800.00 bid.

coinmickey · February 14, 2008 5:11AM

the Graphics/information at the bottom of the screen were for a complete set of (Mint State Silver eagles), not the Proof cameos

You're lucky you're getting your money back...

You really think so. 30 day money back guranttttteeeee.

ziggy29 · February 14, 2008 6:01AM

Well, "lucky" may be strong since it will still cost you something. I think saying a return will turn this into relatively "cheap tuition" might be more appropriate.

Fairlaneman · February 14, 2008 6:06AM

"FLUFF"

Man these people screwed you over royally. Sue the SOB's and then get ahold of the police and have their arse's thrown in jail. If that does not work get ahold of Louie and let him do his trade. These scum need to get their just punishment one way or the other. They were jerks from the get go.

Hows that son?

I'd Second that Ziggy my boy!! Lesson learned but I am still going after the bargains because you guys can't havem all. Tv shows, Tv consignement shows, Mom/Pop flea markets and lastly Teletrade. You ebayers good luck in the near future. More suprizes are headed your way gentlemen, Ladies!!

TwoSides2aCoin · February 14, 2008 6:16AM

I'd sue DirecTV and the Electric company. It's their fault !!!

relicsncoins · February 14, 2008 6:48AM

impeach Bush, somehow it's most likely his fault.

sinin1 · February 14, 2008 7:02AM

before you send it back,

cherrypick the good ones

and maybe swap a couple years for some NGC stuff you have laying around

Konahead · February 14, 2008 1:41PM

you got took for a ride, at that price you had to think something was very very wrong. They could not be that stupid

YaHa · February 14, 2008 1:43PM

<< you got took for a ride, at that price you had to think something was very very wrong. They could not be that stupid >>

I was pumping my fist. I thought hell let me watch and buy more. Yes you are 100% right, I was the fish and got hook on coin chum.

Konahead · February 14, 2008 1:50PM

I agree with the substance man!

percyb · February 14, 2008 2:06PM

Return the coins. Take the shipping loss. It's a hard lesson and we've all had them.

mnmcoin · February 14, 2008 2:42PM

If you paid with a credit card you could initiate a charge back. I would try the news route, although being so far away I would doubt you would get any traction.

Sorry that you got hosed. I hope that you avoid them like the plague in the future.

I don't know that I would be willing to wade through their muck waiting to catch them in a mistake and get a rip - I mean, they've got MS64 NGC Morgan common dates for sale on the website at the low, low price of $150. OTOH, I'll sell you all you can stand @ $125 delivered
