Re: How important are back card scans for you ?
Hi Rick, I am a satisfied customer too! I really like seeing the front and the back of the card mostly to ensure legitimacy. The scammers and the photo-shoppers work pretty hard to take our money and I am deathly afraid of flips that are altered / re-sealed. The back of the card gives me another area to look at to make… -
Re: 1901-S Barber Quarter: Opinions...counterfeit slab on eBay?
A lousy picture is often one of the ways that scammer uses to trick buyers. Given that this is a $4,000 coin, those are terrible pictures because it overemphasizes the slab and shows you very little about the coin, which is what a collector is really buying. They didn't even post a picture of the reverse of the coin right… -
Re: What is the most efficient and safest way to distribute counterfeit slabs?
over in the currency forum, it was pointed out that the scammers in china are getting smarter. they used normal-sounding usernames & usa item locations. the auctions mentioned had a lot of people taking the bait, and the final sales tally was near $6000. if all the slab counterfeiters followed suit, a lot of people would… -
Re: Images and coin discussions? The board says....
coin pics are great, coin discussions are great, threads to hype a member's currently running auctions stink and belong on B/S/T board. could always tell us about the fantastic toning or super deep cameo after the auction ends, if the intent is really edification. scammer alerts are obvious exception tho. Besides, rather… -
Re: Mind if I join you?
<< <i>Looks Allgood to me. >> Well, it took four posts. If I hadn't been out working in the yard it would have only taken one. If you don't know the meaning or the history of that saying, you're in for a real eye opener. Just do a quick search on the Savanna Scammer, pjd1966. We're all quite familiar with the saying, and… -
This guy is ripping people off on EBAY
I was almost one of the victims... SCAMMERS When the auction ends, they ask you to send payment to alternate email address. Anyone know of a link to ebay where they can be reported? I emailed the highest bidder, but sometimes they think you're trying to talk him out of bidding. I've had 3 other ebayers email and ask me… -
'52 Topps Mantle in local paper..

Re: BIN Order Cancellation,,,When Did This Become a Normal Thing???
And now a follow-up,,,just got off the phone with a human at eBay...the most egregious scammer will have their accounts suspended for 60 days. This came to a head about an hour ago when the eBay algorithm sent me an automated email...asking if I wanted to pay $600 for the exact coin for which a $300 BIN was cancelled by… -
Re: Suspicious 1859 PF66 Ultra Cam dollar
Yeah, I'd true-auction that puppy with no reserve if I owned it. What' the worst that can happen- lose $75k or so? There are two possibilities I see here. 1) Unusually sophisticated scammer, who actually knows the word "salient" and doesn't type in ALL CAPS. 2) It's a legit collector/dealer under a pseudonym, but an army… -
Re: 1975 Topps Mini Case Break - GRADES anyone???
Don't take the statement that having an empty box as a blanket statement that ALL people with empty boxes are repackagers. However...... There ARE people that buy empty boxes, empty wrappers, and DO repackage cards. I hope nobody on here.....but if someone would come across a thread discussing pack distribution who IS a…
