CIRCLE OF TRUST!!

BAJJERFAN · February 27, 2011 3:12AM

Seeing this referenced a lot, it might be time to update. Who is in and who isn't?

Barndog · February 27, 2011 3:13AM

if you have to ask...

crazyhounddog · February 27, 2011 3:14AM

I'm not sure what your asking? Sure hope I'm in the inner circle of trust!

PerryHall · February 27, 2011 3:16AM

Anyone who I see here on a regular basis, has been a forum member for awhile, and has a fairly high post count is in my circle of trust.

Manorcourtman · February 27, 2011 3:17AM

An Urban legend.........as far as you know

Tdec1000 · February 27, 2011 3:18AM

If we told ya we have to .....

PerryHall · February 27, 2011 3:19AM

<< I'm not sure what your asking? Sure hope I'm in the inner circle of trust! >>

Circle of trust members would send another person within the circle of trust an expensive coin or the cash to buy one and then not worry about it or lose sleep over it. The key word here is TRUST.

LindeDad · February 27, 2011 3:23AM

What's that saying about joining groups?

Justacommeman · February 27, 2011 3:23AM

I would trust anyone that relied to this thread so far................MJ

I love you all but if I sell you a coin, pay me first and after your check clears I will send you the coin.

crazyhounddog · February 27, 2011 3:35AM

I love you all but if I sell you a coin, pay me first and after your check clears I will send you the coin.

Okay, you don't trust anybody, right?

johnny9434 · February 27, 2011 3:37AM

we might never know the whole truth on that one

Broadstruck · February 27, 2011 3:46AM

Even a newb could quickly enter the Circle of Trust as long as they remember to treat every transaction big or small equally to the same level that they'd personally like to be treated.

PerryHall · February 27, 2011 3:49AM

<< I love you all but if I sell you a coin, pay me first and after your check clears I will send you the coin. >>

I wouldn't hesitate to send you a check for a coin since you've been here long enough to earn my trust.

mgoodm3 · February 27, 2011 3:50AM

I believe RYK keeps the COT roles.

YogiBerraFan · February 27, 2011 3:55AM

I keep most everyone here in my circle of trust until they give me a reason to take them out

Walkerguy21D · February 27, 2011 3:58AM

85+ members in my personal circle of trust that I've done biz with, and probably at least another 20 or more members that I'd trust w/o hesistation, based on their posts and other references. Always room for more though

Bochiman · February 27, 2011 4:01AM

I'm sure it varies for everybody a bit.
There are definitely members here that I would trust a coin with. And, I know there are some members here who trust me as well.

There are folks I would trust on a coins condition/authenticity as well. To me, if buying raw, that is part of trusting someone.

Though, as Barndog says....."if you have to ask....."

JCMhouston · February 27, 2011 4:02AM

In God we trust, all others pay cash. My circle of trust, those to whom I would send an expensive coin without payment first, is extremely small. So small I can count them on one hand.

bestmr · February 27, 2011 4:08AM

I usually don't have a problem. I try and do some research to make sure the person in question is reputable. For the most part though, we watch out for each other which makes this a cool place to hang out.

okracer · February 27, 2011 4:24AM

My post count is not high enough..........

Broadstruck · February 27, 2011 4:26AM

<< My post count is not high enough.......... >>

Not to worry RYK is working on a COT sniffer!

BAJJERFAN · February 27, 2011 4:29AM

<< In God we trust, all others pay cash. My circle of trust, those to whom I would send an expensive coin without payment first, is extremely small. So small I can count them on one hand. >>

Over time I spose we all develop our own ideas from references, etc. about who we trust and who we don't. To me it isn't about whether the coin is expensive or not, but the man's word. If he says the coin or check is in the mail, then that is what I depend on and of course the way in which I expect to reciprocate.

JRocco · February 27, 2011 4:42AM

You can always tell by the adoring...I wanna be your friend...what can I say to make you like me...posts
who is not in the circle but wants to be.

Staircoins · February 27, 2011 4:47AM

<< I keep most everyone here in my circle of trust until they give me a reason to take them out >>

Agreed ... but references always help.

llafoe · February 27, 2011 4:48AM

I'm in the barrel in the center of the circle of trust!

I trust my children. I'll send anyone a coin before I receive payment. If you don't pay me, you can trust that I'll be at your door!

RYK · February 27, 2011 4:53AM

I have a very large circle and a low threshold for sending coins on approval, sending coins before checks have cleared, etc. The circle does narrow as the value goes up.

TomB · February 27, 2011 5:03AM

<< I have a very large circle and a low threshold for sending coins on approval, sending coins before checks have cleared, etc. The circle does narrow as the value goes up. >>

I guess this would be RYK's Cone of Trust?

agentjim007 · February 27, 2011 5:04AM

I think your level of trust says a lot about you. If you demand a check clears from someone who has been here for along time without one negative transaction tells me maybe there is some reason not to trust you. When Mark Feld worked for Pinnacle he sent me on approval a thousand dollar coin. A very trusting person and one of the most trusted persons here.

Did you buythe cointhat Mark Feld sent you?

oreville · February 27, 2011 6:58AM

A long as you don't write or say L@@ in any word, you generally stay in my Circle (O) of Trust.

Otherwise you are in my Circle (@) of Disgust.

pakasmom · February 27, 2011 7:17AM

I have to agree with the Bochiman. Few people get along with everyone. Some people can't get along with anyone. So the circles probably all look different from one another.

Yeah, I'd say you suffer from post traumatic stress syndrome.

robkool · February 27, 2011 8:10AM

I'm in... With too many references to list.

djdilliodon · February 27, 2011 8:28AM

I better start posting cause i feel left out of the circle of trust

BlindedByEgo · February 27, 2011 8:34AM

Trust... But verify.

Billet7 · February 27, 2011 8:43AM

There's a CIRCLE??? You gotta be kidding me! this whole time I've been trying to join the "dodecahedron of confidence!"

Swampboy · February 27, 2011 8:48AM

This intrigues me and grosses me out simultaneously.

BaseballAbs · February 27, 2011 8:52AM

<< In God we trust, all others pay cash.

I like this.

fastrudy · February 27, 2011 8:57AM

I see a new 'law' being formulated here:

As the value of the coin increases, the radius of the circle of trust decreases

$=a x r

where 'a' is a constant of proportionality.

Frankiefanatic · February 27, 2011 9:00AM

<< Seeing this referenced a lot, it might be time to update. Who is in and who isn't? >>

At one time I remember this fellow who was a member

but all for naught he has passed onto the great beyond

Others unlike him were joint associates

trust is earned, not a privilege..

I was once a member
moons ago...........................

Is that a travel version of the BED sniffer?

Or a funnel.

dsessom · February 27, 2011 9:25AM

I'd have to say that this forum is my circle of trust. Not everyone of course, but I'd have to say that some of the best, most honest people I know are right here on these forums.
My dad and grandfather taught me that a man's word is everything. Trust is crucial to all relationships - from working acquaintences to your spouse. I have found that the vast majority of the forum have the same ethic and that's reassuring. I appreciate you all.

WoodenJefferson · February 27, 2011 9:44AM

This is how it's listed in the Lingo

COT-- Circle of Trust, a Mystic group of Forumites who have secretly bonded, there is also reputed to be a secret greeting handshake.

Note: somehow the TM has been deleted.

coindeuce · February 27, 2011 10:13AM

I used to keep my COT in my sigline until I was ordered to trim it. So it goes.

I don't have nearly enough post to be in this forum's COT , but
Heritage for years has shipped my coins before I even get the invoice
so somebody must trust me - Oh wait they have my credit card #

If you don't know the circle of trust password, then you are outside the circle of trust.
