Re: Numismatics and Cross Collectibles
Encased postage stamps circulated during the Civil War along side tokens and other money substitutes due to a serious coin shortage. Businesses would put stamps in a small copper frame with advertising on one side and a mica window on the other side so you could see the stamp. These are neat collectables but you have to be… -
Re: Rick’s US Coins - call now!
The cost of selling has zero to do with fair market value. Buying the same coin in the same holder (or raw for many of this offerings) on ebay is not wholesale. It baffled me that folks that order from these scammers don't do any research. Rick is clearly a knowledgeable guy. His claims as to the value of the coins being… -

Re: Dealers - Potential new scam
Checks deposited become cleared funds within a certain number of days. Fraud is usually discovered weeks later. Scammers make fake, but otherwise perfect bank checks, like what you would take to a real estate closing. They use an actual account owner's information.

Re: On a One to Ten Scale, how Happy does this hobby make you?
3. Why am I still around? I have one foot out the door, but old habits die hard. Why so low? The business side is unseemly. The people not much better, between the deeks, the grumps, the whiners, the out right liars, cheaters, and scammers. Then there is the huge "mine is bigger than yours" crowd, or "real collectors… -
Re: Irrational buyers frustrate me
OP the response the turd gave you pretty much means he just recieved the item in the mail, noticed you didn't use delivery confirmation with tracking, nutted himself that he gets to rip you off via PayPal because of this, and doesn't want to wait a while before ripping you off. Options at this point are to either ship him… -
Re: Went to the "Hotel Buyers" this morning...........
CK, your right, the newspaper adds will not let you mess with the big add payers, they either bury your add further back in a section no body reads, or they massage your wording so that you cannont state negative things about them. For example I can say in my add " check our prices before you sell to them, but they would… -
Re: Anyone know a Greg Washington on the boards?
As you have probably figured out by now, this guy is a crook! He tried to scam me and has also fooled two of my cohorts on the coin forum. Forget about his medical treatment stories, that is so much BS. He told me he had a $8k raw coin to sell, that he had owned for 30+ years, and sent photos that were photoshopped from… -
Re: Received an empty $2500 box today
<< <i> << <i>hmmm... I thought you had to send it registered for that high dollar amount. If not, and it was coins, I don't think the PO will pay. In any case, it is not your problem, file the chargeback with Paypal, help the seller with the claim and move on. >> What is your basis for this theory? Why would they not cover…
