FEC does not in fact work for Flying Eagle Coins as claimed ...

I just got off of the phone with James, the owner of Flying Eagle Coins in Oklahoma. He informed me that Bobby Dobbs (aka FEC on these boards) does not in fact work for Flying Eagle Coins in any capacity, is not an agent for Flying Eagle Coins, and that the underhanded actions committed by FEC this weekend should not be attributed to Flying Eagle Coins.

Let's try to keep this thread civilized so that it does not get poofed.

    The plot thickens. How long will this thread last...
    Positive BST transactions with: too many names to list! 36 at last count.

    Wow, this is getting stranger and stranger.
  • Ouch...what did he do this weekend....must have missed that but thanks for clarifying as we don't want good folks getting dragged into a mess. Anybody have a link?
  • I really wish the other thread would not have gotten poofed. Please provide rock solid proof so this does not get poofed.

    Where's the memo you were supposed to send me on this , Fletch ?

    I would think that PCGS would let this thread stand so as to clear the name of a Flying Eagle Coins, who FEC was pretending to be.
  • BarndogBarndog Posts: 20,515 ✭✭✭✭✭
    so he's just key_dates on ebay and has no other outlet?

    Poor FEC. First ANACS screwed him, and now this.

    I don't know why I'm laughing as this is pretty sad.
  • Unfortunately, as FEC stated he would do, he was able to get my EBay auction shutdown by submitting last minute bids using a new ebay ID with 0 feedback and then claiming that the bids were fraudulently made. However, Ebay has refunded my fees so all that I am out is time ... a minor nuisance.
  • Where did FEC state this?

    Now I see why you created this thread.

    I think that thread got poofed, but he did clearly state that he worked at Flying Eagle Coins and that was why there might be confusion as to how PM's were signed with different names since both the owner of Flying Eagle Coins and he used the same account here.
  • Interesting,

    I was also wondering where he stated he would get your ebay auction shut down?

    I don't know anything about ebay auctions... that's a Fletcher thing.

  • Well I just had an intersting conversation with Mr. James Hill of Flying Eagle Coins, he does know Bobby Dobbs, and did not know that Bobby was doing this. in fact Mr. Hill is not a member to these boards folks, he does have a ebay site that he sells coins from, but it is not key_dates...

    and from speaking with Mr. Hill, I can tell a bit of an intelligent person in him as opposed to the young man who keeps calling me.

    if PCGS and Mr. Willis want to verify the identity of FEC, who he has claimed to me in PM's that he is James Hill, I would venture to guess that this young man has been playing many of us for a fool..

    and I'm the bad guy.....

    remember if it walks and sqwauks like a duck...

    maybe thats why he wanted Paypal personal so no recourse if he doesn't deliver
    Just a thought

    is sum, don't do business with "FEC" aka "key_dates" is my conclusion. Make your own.

    FEC has crossed the line more times than allowable under TOS.

    From verbal threats (assault) to interfering with member listings

    & Fraud - the guy's a real piece of work.

    Incredible. image
  • What did I miss, anyone have a link or care to fill me in?
  • fcfc Posts: 12,793 ✭✭✭
    i need a summary. this is way too confusing unless you read the boards
    every day and every post.

    oh, i do remember fletcher in that maybe going to hell post about the NGC 70 gold
    coin calling FEC scummy when in reality it was very far from being accurate.

    i wonder if that started this whole thing off.

    and on another note i had no idea FEC was supposed to stand for flying eagle coins.
    never once did i make that connection or saw that stated.

    At this point there is no certaintly regarding this person's true identity.

    If anyone has had a successful BST transaction with him or with this

    person under the alleged eBay ID provided, perhaps they can shed

    some light on this subject.

    The particulars surrounding Fletcher's eBay listing is HIS business

    and as such, his to disclose or to keep to himself.

    If FEC DID in fact threaten to screw with Fletcher's eBay listing via PM,

    again it would be up to Fletcher to support this allegation by copying

    & pasting the exact PM.

    FEC first threatened me over a coin he had opened & tampered with

    & wanted to then return though it (the coin) definitely was NOT my coin.

    He then threatened bodily harm to MorganHunter2. If memory serves me

    MorganHunter2 caught him using one Name yet later signed off as a completely

    different First Name. (I believe he first referred to himself as James Hill yet

    later signed off as "Bobby"!) Perhaps MH2 can shed some light on this as

    can the person who supposedly bought the group of Morgan Dollars on the

    BS&T forum which oh BTW are NOW LISTED on eBay using the ID mentioned

    above, aka "key_dates". If someone has purchased coins here or off eBay

    from key_dates, perhaps they can help get to the bottom of this as well.

    I tried to work a trade with FEC but it did not go down.
    Here's part of our PM's where he signs it Bob.

    Bob,

    When you look at a giant sized pic like that the dings and marks are greatly exaggerated. In hand I think that one is a 4. I used that coin because it was the top one and I didnt think it would be fair or accurate to go and look for the best one and use it.

    I can attest, but would like to see his response for the intent to ruin a business..that he is not associated with.

    That would undermine the trust associated with all the private deals I have done in here. In no way, shape or form (unless some type of serious theft occured) should ANY member here share such sensitive info with ANYONE else!

    I'm not sure where the privacy issue is here. First, some kind of theft (serious, implied, or otherwise) may have occurred. Second, I don't think the poster had any intentions of violating anyone's privacy.

    I remember the thread where FEC was talking about returning the coin after he had acetoned it and the color came off. I disagreed with the forum consensus that he was out of line for asking as I felt that the color shouldn't come off a coin in acetone. However, at that time I thought he was not a dealer as this did not sound like a dealer asking the questions.

    I posted on the "go to hell" thread that his price was ok for an NGC 70. In this thread he made it sound like he was a dealer by the way he worded the post but I was suprised a dealer didn't know the difference in price between a PCGS 70 and NGC 70. I wrote it off to not knowing moderns. I then asked if it might be hot and he responded again like a B&M dealer saying that state law required "them" (he spoke in the plural like he was part of a business) to record names and contact info for all gold bought.

    Then I noticed fletcher's auction was won by a zero feedback bidder who bumped it up several hundred $. I thought "good for him". Turns out it was not a real bid.

    Although I never saw much negative out of FEC personally, it sounds like he was pretending to be something he was not.

    If you mean "Don't post real names and addresses" I don't think that was the intent but we all would agree with that statement. --Jerry

    I think what Boom is asking for is someone to vouch that FEC is who he says he is and that if you had a transaction with him was it good.

    Right now- 'FEC' claims to be James Hill who owns a shop in Oklahoma City - Flying Eagle Coins, but then 'FEC' signs off on some PM's as Bobby- well the real question is - who is he? I know he is not James Hill of Flying Eagle Coins in OKC- I spoke to the man myself, and he has emphatically told me he is not a member here and was not amused at what was transpiring on the boards with him using his shop as well as his name.

    If he is Bobby and goes by key_dates on ebay- then so be it- but why play the game of being someone else ie- James Hill, what to ruin his business?

    Oh and if I knew how to post the PM's I would share what he has sent me, as well as my response to him-

  • I think FEC is hopefully gone; this is the first thread that involved him that he was not all over defending himself and attacking others. As I told him yesterday the truth will allways come out.image

    A while back I purchased a Seated Quarter from FEC. No problems. Just today I received a package from FEC which was a roll of walkers. Delivered fast both times. Actually I believe I returned the quarter b/c I didn't like the look of it. I also purchased a AU VDB cent from him I believe. Never had a problem with him.

    Return label on the package is from Moore, OK and has a female name.

    Interesting, It would appear that FEC was acting as a coin dealer and attempting to flip coins with information gained from members here. Maybe he pretended to be that dealer in order to get some sort of respect? Who knows but it would appear that he is no longer a member at this point.

    Are you trying to say that he quit and is going back to his second fake job?

    boxing promoter for his ol lady?

    nah can't be- there is no money or deceit in that.....
