Looks like CENTSLES is changing names on e-bay

Not sure if I should say watch buyers out or congrats to World_Coinz their new id.

clarkbar04 · June 6, 2008 2:12AM

Just don't buy coins with crappy photos, and you'll never be even an accidental customer of his.

OK, I did a search for Centsles how am I supposed to know the thread is been done before when the title says nothing of the sort?

Other than read every thread that comes about that is.

rgCoinGuy · June 6, 2008 2:17AM

Yeah that other thread isn't very informative in the title!

LouisCamp · June 6, 2008 2:19AM

Okay, I fixed it and I'm still not him.

Just curious what makes you think World_Coinz is Centsless ?

coinman420 · June 6, 2008 2:27AM

i looked at the listings and found this

1929-O

<< Just curious what makes you think World_Coinz is Centsless ? >>

Because they sent out a blanket e-mail to every e-mail they have managed to capture saying so. Text is in the link to the other thread on this.

Might be a good buy for .99.

my question is: why?

why did he feel the need to start a new ID? he was fleecing plenty under the old ID. were the negatives starting to roll in?

I think the old ID was banned. Notice how the new one has 0 feedback, it's not just a name change but a whole new account.

rgCoinGuy · June 6, 2008 2:43AM

I looked up the old ID and it still had five coins listed under it, and the feedback wasn't that bad.

Centsles

Centsles >>

Wow with 98,000+ feedback why would they do a name change and then start over with 0? They should just change the name on the old account.

Unless of course they are not getting the 15% discount because of the new feedback structure. Too bad we can't see their dashboard.

Russ- are those good or bad numbers for a Powerseller that wants to maximize discounts?

does that lead you to believe he is done with the Centsles account and starting over?

Russ · June 6, 2008 3:06AM

<< Russ- are those good or bad numbers for a Powerseller that wants to maximize discounts? >>

Those put him at the 5% discount level.

Edited to add: And, all exceed eBay wide averages.

World_coinz

Centsles
Does not appear to be the same person to me.

Raybob15239 · June 6, 2008 4:10AM

I bought 3 coins from Centsles. All three were Numistrust whatever slabs. All were overgraded, but I bought the coin, not the slab. I paid an appropriate amount for each coin (under $25 each delivered). They were all 21 Morgans, one from each mint. (They were all MS63 or 64; the P ended up slabbing at ANACS at 63, the D at 58 and the S at 61, so I can't complain!) They also turned out to all be discovery coins for new VAMs!

Perhaps as a joke. Birthday party for a collector born in 1929, take a piece of junk silver, modify it and present it as a joke. --jerry

this is the kinda of seller that makes you wanna' buy something for around melt, just to neg him. it would be justice to see this guy start his new ebay ID full of negs

Bumping this because I realized today that I had a bid in on a centles auction (a clipped foreign coin) right before the name switch. I was the lone bidder and about a day before it closed, I got a notice from eBay that the auction was cancelled for an unspecified TOS violation. I found the same coin this morning in a search listed by "world_coinz". I also received the email about the name change, but until I saw the auction this morning I did not connect all of the dots.

I'm thinking maybe he felt he was being unfairly targeted or his auctions wer being reported because of his reputation, and he'd rather start over from scratch than have to relist his items again and again. (BTW, I placed another bid on the new auction for that foreign clip, I've never personally had an issue with him as a seller).

I've "picked" a hand-full of pieces from him and never had a problem. Yo, you don't really think that the MS67 will cross, do you?

ArizonaJack · June 9, 2008 4:13AM

I emailed them ( WorldCoinz) and was told Centsless simply " hired " them to move some material.....

shmort6552 · June 9, 2008 8:20AM

Sent World Coinz an email asking whether they were "Centsles"

Here is the response:

"Dear shmort6552,

Centsles has hired us to list some of their items. The service will be the same. Thank you.

- world_coinz"

Barry · June 9, 2008 9:50AM

Still can't spell. First, he misspells "senseless" and now he misspells "coins."

shmort6552 · June 9, 2008 9:50AM

Below is a copy of the email I sent to Ebay about the auction by World_coinz

"Topics > eBay Policies > Rules for Sellers > Listing Policies for Sellers > Selling Coins Item number(s): 270244554894270244556607270244555025

Message: These, as well as several hundred other auctions are listed showing non-authorized slabs and claim that they meedt a specific grade and quality, which can only be claimed by certain auctions selling coins from authorized grading companies. This seller is also claiming to have been hired by another seller, "Centsles" which is clearly a way to try and avoid receiving more attention with your new, stricter policies.

It is these type of sellers which cause confusion among buyers and when the coins are purchased, there are many complaints.The auctions are also showing full pictures of the non-authorized slab with the company name, grade etc clearly shown. Please lets keep trying to get these inferior coins out of this part of ebay.

Thanks Bruce
