Re: I thought this was the U.S. Coin Forum ? ............
part of the value of this forum is knowing about scammers on ebay. An excellent example being last weeks thread where TDN won a bid on a trade dollar HE knew was fake. He bid on it in order to keeping anyone else getting burned on it for $10K, then he neged the seller. He saw in the coin what 99% of buyers might not have… -
Re: My bad experience with seller blp_grlg
This thief should be locked up! I've been one of the first to try and discourage anyone from buying anything "unopened" from this guy. No wonder "she" doesn't accept Paypal payments over $100 and hosts private auctions. I'm very sorry to hear you got screwed by this thief. I'd recommend obtaining her contact info & demand… -
Re: eBay Etiquette Question
If you leave him a negative feedback... just brace yourself the 'Retaliatory Negative Feedback' Ebay proudly proclaims that they refuse to investigate 'Retaliatory Negative' and it, along with the privet auction, are the two most utilized tools of the EBay scammers. My girlfriend sold a RAM chip a month back, the 'hidden… -
Re: Just got this response from ebay seller...
Well, if I still wanted the coin and his feedback doesn't make you suspect a scammer, I'd take him at his word and ask him to ship. He's clearly responded, albeit late, and offered a refund. I would ask for a delivery confirmation number as soon as he ships, and within a day or two see if that number corresponds to a… -
Re: Does any one else find this strange
Sorry, I meant all the T206's were 5's. 100 cards ending all with in 1 day ans some pretty impressive stuff. Could well be his whole collection. But could be a sophisitcated scammer who knows super high end cards will raise too many red flags. As we get smarter spotting them, thet have to get smarter trying to disquise… -
Re: offering a bribe in exchange for positive feedback
Buying and selling on ebay seems to me to be too confrontational. It's a hobby we should enjoy. There is no reason to ridicule others in a public forum for what are at most minor irritations. Many don't like being asked for feedback but it happens and has been pointed out perhaps for good reason. I constantly read sellers… -
Re: Unopened proof sets, scam?
too many of us have bought Proof Sets advertised as "unopened" and scored for it to be OK for those who don't play the game to say that it's all just a scam. i currently have stuff listed in my sig-line which is 100% legitimate, never opened and never searched. certainly there are scammers who check and reseal, but there… -
Re: Best method to determine if a card is trimmed?
A lot of good pointers here - once ya familiarize yourself with vintage cards, it is actually easy to quickly spot trimmed or doctored cards. Depending on how far ya wanna go with learning it, I would recommend buying some PSA 8 and 9 vintage commons, break open the slabs, and familiarize yourself with what a true raw… -
Re: I was set up at a small show in Bordentown N.J. today.
Nam - You reminded me (and all of us) why the experience of going to a show can be fun. We now have two kinds of modern collectors - those who have never been to a show and those who remember shows. The former, who are used to ebay - the impersonal way of buying - the complains about not getting what they bought - will… -
Re: Traveling with slabs on Airplanes
Americano Airlines announced today its new policy for coin collectors carrying slabbed coins in their carry-on bag. Due to the excessive value of these items, each slab will be charged $5 or 5% of its value unless it has a special exemption sticker from the Certified Airworthy Slab Association (CASA).
