You should send him note reading something like this: "Hello Grandson, I really wish you wouldn't be selling my collection in this manner"

Is he your kids kid? that you did not know about yet?
The seller I bought it from here told me it was in an NGC AU58 holder before he cracked it.

he just keeps buying more coins and willing them to his grandkid who keeps selling them
sending the money back to grandpa
who keeps buying more for his collection
and the cycle continues, forever

I was married to a widow, she was pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red
And my father fell in Love with her. Soon they too were wed.
This made my dad my son-in-law--changed my very life!
My daughter was my mother because she was my father's wife!
To complicate the matter even though it brought me joy,
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.
My little baby he then became a brother-in-law to Dad.
Well, that made him my uncle--made me very sad!
Because if he was my uncle then he also was a brother
To the widow's grown-up daughter, who, of course, was my stepmother.
CHORUS
My father's wife then had a son who kept them on the run.
And, of course, he became my grandchild because he was my daughter's son.
My wife is now my mother's mother and this makes me blue
Because although she is my wife, she's my grandmother too!
CHORUS
Now if my wife is my grandmother, well, then I am her grandchild,
And every time that I think about this, it nearly drives me wild!
Because now I have become the strangest case that you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother, I�m� my own grandpa!
CHORUS:
I'm my own grandpa! I'm my own grandpa!
It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so!
Oh, I'm my own grandpa!
<< <i>This guy has been selling his grandpa's collection for like 3 YEARS NOW!!!! What a joke. >>
There have been multiple threads about this guy...
Personally, as far as eBay goes:
"grandpa's coin collection" = no bid from cmerlo1
Estate auction, grandpa's collection, never searched, garage sale find, etc., etc., etc.

I collect all 20th century series except gold including those series that ended there.
MTC3015
Will the REAL mtc3015 please stand up.
I bought a couple of granddad's coins; they were not that grand. Cleaned or altered surfaces; of course this was before I understood what those terms ment. I understand now, and I paid mtc3015 my tuition.
My favorite part of his listings "I am no expert and make no claims or guarantees of any kind as to the grade, look at the supersize pics for yourself and you be the judge. I fully guarantee that the coin is genuine and completely back 100% its authenticity." It's genuine alright; genuine 92, genuine 94, etc ...

I was kind of wondering that myself. Who cares what the story is- you're buying a coin, right? If you like the coin for the price you paid, who cares where it came from.

This isn't about where it came from. No one really cares about that. They just care that the seller lies about the origin. Why do we care about that? I'm not sure. It tics me off though.
<< <i>This isn't about where it came from. No one really cares about that. They just care that the seller lies about the origin. Why do we care about that? I'm not sure. It tics me off though. >>
So somebody should get a neg because something bugs you, but you don't know what it is?
To tie this into another current thread- buyers often make a "best offer" on one of my coins, which I counteroffer on, and they accept. Do they deserve a neg for lying (yes, I know thay can't get one- but do they deserve it?), because their offer wasn't *really* their best offer?
<< <i>Buy the coin back so you can leave him a nice NEG for his feedback >>
This seller does not like negs!
Out of all the crap, whoops I meant coins, he has auctioned off from his late grampa he has received but the one neg. despite what his auctions state, he does accept returns and I believe that many folks have in fact returned improperly described coins to him.
Make no mistake newbies, this fellow is out to sell coins with a 99% probability that they are NOT from his grampa's estate. He takes very good photographs of which some specifically hide known flaws or wear.
Just do a forum search on mtc3015 in Title or Body and you can read up on what he's actually selling.
The name is LEE!

Sorry, I was not clear. I do not want to give him a neg - it would do nothing to address the fact that it "bugs" me. I'll deal with that on my own.
Again, I don't care where a legit coin came from but do seem to care about the honesty of the seller. But thats me.
How about a change of subject on this one
Perhaps "Ebay fetches higher sales price than BST".
Nothing illegal about the Seller's Granpa excuse ......... sure is immoral in my mind though. I know it happens countless times, but it always has and always will bug me.
<< <i>Again, I don't care where a legit coin came from but do seem to care about the honesty of the seller. But thats me. >>
Fair enough. Personally, I'm not going to pay more for a coin that came "from grandpa's collection" than I would if it came from somebody on the BST board. I'm looking to buy coins, not stories, so if I like the coin and the price is right, I'm satisfied. If others expect more than that, that's their business.

Well said.
My last family doctor, knowing that, asked If I had one of "I'm my own grandpa".
I did and before he retired, I gave it to him.
He was ectstatic to get it. Don;'t know why.

My favorite was the coins found inside a wall. Ran for about that long on eBay.

Great advice Lee, but where were you 9 months ago?
I knew it would happen.
