This dealer likes to at least pretend to be a moron, huh?

    Yeah, that particular eBay seller has canned descriptions. Everything he sells has the same description with only the date and denomination differing in each auction.

    There's more than a few who believe he's honest and has great stuff.

    He obviously doesn't care if he's dishonest about his auction titles.

    He does come up with some rare coins.
    I wonder where he finds the good stuff?

    A couple yrs ago I won a 1794 half dollar from this seller. Had high EF/AU details but we could not authenticate as the coin was in two layers of plastic flips. I asked for permission to remove the coin to ensure it was authentic and seller refused. Rather than pay $16K for a potentially bogus coin, I sent her back. I did not see her relisted so I wonder if seller had an offer in the wings in case I did not complete the deal. I probably should have simply taken my chances and submitted to ANACS. If the coin proved bogus, I am fairly confident I could have persuaded seller to make good.

    He starts his auctions at $.99 with no reserve, so it doesn't matter what his description is. If you had thousands of auctions running at a time, you wouldn't bother to change the description for each one either. It's no big deal. He's an honest seller.

    My first purchase from this seller was earlier this year. A choice unc. Pacific Railway Completion medal, HK-12(CM-39) which was well beyond my expectation for quality, considering the nature of his description.

    His title and description is boilerplate for everything. I think the feedback speaks for itself. Honest seller, I've bought from him a few times and would do it again no problem.

    Prethen, why did you start 2 threads on the same seller?

    Maybe he's still trying to find people to agree with him?

    The canned descriptions are a nuisance, but this seller provides excellent pictures, and everyone knows those are worth a thousand words. So you might not get exactly what you read, but every time I've purchased from that seller I've received exactly what I saw.

    guys i think hes just being sarcastic, we can all see the coins and know that
  • commoncents123commoncents123 Posts: 2,648 ✭
    I've wondered about that guy before, I mean where does he GET all those coins? Does this guy make a profit due to the fact that he just lists so many coins that he becomes popular due to the fact that he's everywhere?

    I can confirm that, from a $5 Indian NGC rejected as fake, and the refund I received for it.
