Dear Superior Galleries

If you're going to load my inbox with incessant spam, at least have a real 'unsubscribe' link in your emails. Grrrrr.

rays · July 16, 2008 5:23AM

Stacks has recently gone overboard. I am getting about one a day, sometimes more.

BECOKA · July 16, 2008 5:27AM

Yep, I'm tired of SG mail too. If they would take real photo's of coins I might actually look every now and then.

Ticketmaster is exactly the same !

Without an unsubscribe link included it IS considered spam. Legally.

roadrunner · July 16, 2008 7:40AM

No big deal. I delete a couple of Superior emails a month along with ebay spoof mail trying to get my account #, cheap air fares, and cheap viagara.

Install a better spam filter you guys, and mark them as spam if received. You can eliminate "bulk" Emails. K

<< If you're going to load my inbox with incessant spam, at least have a real 'unsubscribe' link in your emails. Grrrrr. >>

Sorry to disagree, but I don't consider it spam as I'm an active coin buyer, and they sell coins. It only seems logical for them to assume active coin buyers would like to be aware of when and what coins are available for them to purchase. Frankly, I'd be a bit TOed if I found out a coin I was looking for sold in one of their auctions, and I didn't even know they had a sale. Now, if you are not an active coin buyer, or if their coins are not in your price range, I can see how you wouldn't want to receive their emails. I hate those spam messages I get from drugstore.com. I purchased something from them over a year ago, and apparently they think I might still have poison ivy.

jhdfla · July 16, 2008 9:35AM

<< Stacks has recently gone overboard. I am getting about one a day, sometimes more. >>

This is the first time I recall Stacks highlighting individual coins in an upcoming sale, with each email showcasing a different rarity. I must be flying under or over Superior's radar, which quite frankly is just fine with me.

You have cheap viagra?

I like it - makes me feel like I have more friends.

Elcontador · July 16, 2008 10:41AM

What you can do is re-send the heavy catalogues back to them. Have their address as the sender, and their address as the addressee. Think they'll get stuck for the postage. Don't put any "objectional material" along with the catalogue, as that is a Federal crime.

lcoopie · July 16, 2008 11:05AM

do you use an email program that has a spam filter
or an anti-virus program that has anti-spam abilities

then add their name to blocked sender list and you won't get any more

or

reply to the email, I am sure YOU will get their immediate attention
and ask to be unsubscribed

Coinosaurus · July 16, 2008 11:16AM

The NumNews is making liberal use of email as well.......

All you need to do is write refuse on the package and put it back in the mail.

IGWT · July 16, 2008 11:36AM

The e-mail is ejoyable compared to the sales calls from some SG affilate during dinner.

You have to be kidding me? They actually do that? What the heck do they try to get you to do? Man, I didn't know they were a boiler room operation. By the way, if you ever want to rent a good movie, rent Boiler Room. It is great.

I get voice mails from SG and Heritage on my cell soliciting consignments, but rarely if ever are they trying to sell to me. I don't really mind but an email to reply to would be nice.

mozin · July 16, 2008 12:25PM

What is going on with Stack's? Today, I received FOUR email from them about their upcoming auctions. Business must be slow.

Frankcoins · July 16, 2008 3:00PM

<<

Not if you have a "business relationship" with them...

A "transactional or relationship message" – email that facilitates an agreed-upon transaction or updates a customer in an existing business relationship – may not contain false or misleading routing information, but otherwise is exempt from provisions of the CAN-SPAM Act.

DUIGUY · July 16, 2008 3:23PM

<< Stacks has recently gone overboard. I am getting about one a day, sometimes more. >>

Exactly! Whats up with this? Are the major auction house's expecting a slow down do to economy?

RoundandShiny · July 23, 2008 12:06PM

Dear Trade Dollar Nut,

I can understand how you may not want to receive our emails. Please forward your info to my email address (aaronm@sgbh.com) and I will make sure that you are removed from our email list.

As you can imagine, we certainly are encouraged to announce our auctions via the resources that the web provides and we will continue to do so. Its an inexpensive and effective way to reach our intended audience. You maybe surprised that we do sell a number of nice coins that might even fit in with your collection. I'm willing to give you a personalized description of any coin in our inventory as well as our auction lots. However if that doesn't work for you, as I'm well aware, you have a number of dealers who you trust and we'd love to have them lot view on your behalf.

I appreciate your feedback and if you have any other issues that you'd like me to address, please feel free to write me directly at any time.

Thank you,

Aaron

paulinhosong · July 23, 2008 1:28PM

Hi All, I am sorry if there is any confusion, but for the record, this message is at the bottom of every email Superior sends, I certainly hope that you dont all unsubscribe, but its a free market place out there so you always have the option to opt out immediately if these email addresses are bothersome, thx.

Email sent.

Believe you me, I am well informed about any significant coin that Superior [or any other auction house] is selling. I just don't need multiple emails to multiple email accounts to stay informed.

With regards to the unsubscribe link at the bottom of every email - don't you think I tried that already?

Broadstruck · July 24, 2008 1:18AM

It's best not to provide your primary email address, if you do not want to be hammered with junk, DLRC and Stacks is just as bad as Superior... and now Heritage sends me Want List selections daily... when I never set up a want list.

I don't check this alternate email regularly, but just the other day of the 96 emails... 83 where Check All and Delete.

Edited to Add: And how could I forget Bowers and Merena... another major regular abuser.

tradedollarnut · September 2, 2008 9:26AM

Well, by complaining I got a week off from spam and now it's back. Add to that, I got a cold call to my work. Sheesh!

19Lyds · September 2, 2008 10:22AM

Does their spam go immediately to the spam folder or does it stay in your inbox.

The reason I ask, is that with my Outlook, spam gets neutralized so that no HTML shows up. If I move the item back to the inbox, the HTM shows up along with the unsubscribe link.

At least, thats the way it worked with TicketMaster.

tradedollarnut · September 2, 2008 12:40PM

I've zapped them on my hotmail email so it goes straight to spam, but not at work. I guess I'm gonna have to have my IT guys block their address or smoething. What a friggin hassle!

Frankcoins · September 2, 2008 12:41PM

<< Hmm, sorry thats our subsidiary in Dallas, nothing to do with me. Good luck with that. >>

Isn't Superior Galleries the subsidiary of Dallas Gold and Silver Exchange?

lordmarcovan · September 2, 2008 12:41PM

I get bombarded by Heritage with emails for a wantlist I made out two years ago, but that is my own fault for being too lazy to log in and change the email settings and delete the obsolete wantlist.

Elcontador · September 2, 2008 12:43PM

Bruce, why don't you respond to it, and attach something 'interesting,' like Alice Cooper doing "Cold Ethyl" (one of several of Alice's songs about necrophilia) live? If someone there looks at it, they might never send you anything again!

Connecticoin · September 2, 2008 1:02PM

<< Hmm, sorry thats our subsidiary in Dallas, nothing to do with me. Good luck with that. >>

Geez, you would think a high ranking person at the PARENT company could tell the spammers in the SUBSIDIARY to knock it off, rather than pass the buck.

bgman · September 2, 2008 1:42PM

I consigned some coins to Superior and it was a total nightmare. Talked with Mr Song and told him I thought his company was pitiful, on more than one occasion. If Superior tried to give me a coin I wouldn't accept it. I still receive calls and have told them to take me off the list. I have gotten to the point that I enjoy telling them they suck.

tradedollarnut · September 2, 2008 11:31PM

Apparently, it does no good to ask them to take you 'off the list'.

Sorry, but I completely disagree. They have always seemed to work hard and been completely fair with me.

You can disagree all you want, MY dealings with Superior was a nightmare. I am glad they treat someone fairly.

I'll allow them to hassle me if they are giving away free coins!
