Re: Pete Rose PSA Thread
Mindt you EBAY isn't perfect but it has gotten alot better in weeding out unscrupolous sellers and auctions. The Pete Rose rookie card used to be ( and probably still is), a card that scammers liked to sell because of its value.......On a whole you just need to use common Ebay sense. Be leary of zero or low feedback… -
Re: 1952 Bowman Stan Musial #196 PSA Gem Mint 10
I don't see how sharing, or not sharing, this item made any difference. The card wasn't found here. It was found by going back through sales history. Someone owns every single one of these items that has been sold and may be altered. No one is waiting to "devour" anyone. Everyone is angry this is going on. I'd imagine that… -
Re: A new scam on Ebay???????
There used to be more reasons for making listings private than now, but there are still some valid reasons. Before Ebay made the bidders ID like they are now you would have scammers or other legitimate sellers sending offers to the bidders and selling them the item that way. Many times this was a scam. The only valid… -
Re: Do you think it's worth the 9 dollar shipping charge?
The seller got a grand total of, what was it, $31.85 or somewhere in that vicinity for a coin that trends for $70. BOY, he's really making a killing. By the time FeeBay and Pay Poot get thru with him, he will have lost money-GUARANTEED!! He's just making it hand over fist ....that scammer...that thief! How DARE he? Better… -
Re: Proof Sets
<< Heck there is probably some company in Asia that makes up well done fake Proof set packaging and sells them to rip off artists. >> Besides the reprinted aftermarket stuff, the GSA sold off truckloads of excess envelopes and boxes of packing/shipping materials back in the 1970's. There's plenty of genuine unused original… -
Re: Ebay response to my report of image theft
Too bad for numismatics that the largest online forum just doesn't care. Sorry to hear about the blatent image theft and lack of response. Ebay had a booth at SF ANA. For the two days I attended, it was mostly empty of ebay personnel. Finally, Lia (can't recall her last name) appeared. I politely and I hope tactfully… -
Re: What was your biggest "YOU SUCK" score on eBay?
A gold coin in a scratched up holder that I cleaned up with scratch X and cac stickered; they offered me strong money for the green holder coin. If I were a cunning scammer reading about guy's scores I would try to come up with fuzzy images of a super rarity and then shill the heck out of it in hopes that the suckers would… -
Re: Fake mutilated US coins from China scam US Treasury
I read this breathtaking article after another member pointed it out in anothe discussion (on that nifty "sparkplug cent" slug) and I'm glad to see it in a new thread. Can we get a copy of the criminal complaint? There's a lot of amazing claims in it. I find it hard to believe that the amount of halves really exceeded the… -
Re: What has happened to the coin hobby?
The main thing that has changed since the late 50s and 1960s is that you can no longer find old neat coins in change any longer. The scammers were around 'optimistically' grading coins, be it at shops or for auction. A dealer who sold you that "gem BU' looked you in the eye and called it an 'Unc' when you tried to sell it… -
