Re: July 2020 - Show us what ya got !!
There's a seller on eBay that I have bought countless items from over the years. His listing skills are worse than Uncle Rick, as it's usually just one or two pics, and the description is always, "You are bidding on the item(s) in the photo." He can also be a bit obtuse when the need for communication arises, but in the… -
Re: 53 years ago today ...
I remember the 1960 election and some of the debates. Nixon had an aftergrowth beard that made him look somewhat sinister on TV and Kennedy was young and vibrant. JFK was an actual war hero which is different than some of the war heroes that we've been force fed in recent years. Both Nixon and Kennedy were respectable… -
Re: EBAY bogus second chance coin offers...Lets fight back.
I played along a bit on this one. The initial announcement had the e-bay look and feel, but did not show in my e-bay massages. Also, I wasn't second on the coin... I was abbout eigth! I thought about playing a little further but just dropped it. Read about scambaiters on the Internet for ideas on stringing these people… -
Re: Wanna have fun and make money on wax? Buy blowouts
<< <i>My card shop owner doesn't touch any wax. When you sell wax and open some yourself you better not turn up with any decent cards or the rumors about you "searching" the wax will start flying. He does hand new boxes over the counter and let his "regulars" pick the packs they want whereas the people who come in once a… -
Why coin dealers drink...Part CCCCXXV
And another one from the coin dealer network: "And this is one from someone that supposedly bought a nickel from us 4 years ago! Hi, I bought an 1879 shield nickel item # 350410608823 from you on 11-14 2010 paid $230.75 for it and after all this time (sorry) I finally got around to doing a thorough inspection of it and… -
Re: The Boston Marathon bomber hears his fate.
<< <i>Kindofa 6 of one half dozen of another. No doubt this POS needs some serious suffering...but, at the age of 21 and stuck in a max prison till you die, in a 12x7 cell with one hour out a day...I would think at some point he would lose his mind. 60++ years in Colorado is a tall order. So, if he goes the appeal route,… -
Re: Help Selling Krugerrand 21st Century Set
This here is the discussion side of the World & Ancient Coins Forum- there is a separate Buy/Sell/Trade Forum. But your solicitation of advice here is valid, and particularly since it's your first post, I doubt anyone will hiss at you or call you a spammer for posting the question here. You've come to an excellent place… -
Re: Opinions wanted on this Bust 25c
<< <i>Choice VF (30/35)... probably cleaned long ago but it has since retoned quite nicely. I like it! >> I'll second that opinion--decent looking coin. Coin doesn't look totally original as the color is a bit off, but we are talking bust quarters. There may be some "theoretical" totally original bust quarters out there,… -
Re: Should I NEG this seller?
<< Buyers like you should stick to shopping in actual stores. You can control all aspects of the transaction. You can decide how far and what store to drive to and see the item in person. You can pay retail for an item that will sell cheaper on the bay. You can pay the sales tax to keep the government running. By shopping… -
Re: It is good karma to pay MORE to the dealer for the right coin than the dealer asked for their coin!
So this gentleman walks in with dark glasses on. He exclaims boldly, "the lady who answers the phone says you pay 20 times face for silver". I um, uh... er, ahem, um, I sorta stammered and stuttered before finally realizing I'm not going to beat this guy out of a dime. So my response is like " Ooooohkay, well I don't want…
