Re: What would you change about this hobby if you could?
1. Get rid of the fraud, scammers and counterfeiters 2. I'd like to see more people (mainly non-collecting adults) have less of a negative view on sportscards and to not look at it as "a waste of money" 3. More card shops and card shows It would be nice if non-collectors had an open mind about the hobby an treat it as… -
Re: Mint to issue Reverse Proof Presidential Dollars in 2015
you forgot Chinese counterfeits and counterfeit slabs Yes I did forget those. And I had an encounter with a counterfeit 1908 St Gaudens in a counterfeit PCGS Slab way back around 2001. The slab threw me off but the appearance of the "Gold" Coin was all wrong. It looked like the finish on a cheap gold colored watch and it… -
Re: paypal information
Paypal has a vested interest in the security of your inventory and the financial soundness of your business that they are involved with. They feel they have a legitimate concern that your inventory is protected and available for delivery once they have collected money for it from one of their other customers. Paypal is in… -
Re: Suspicious EBAY activity: Buyers of 2008-W Buffs & PCGS 1909-S VDB coins & PAMP Gold bullion
<< <i>Oh yea, all the auctions say 'will ship within 15-20 days of payment' Why so long...unless maybe your trying to stretch out the time period to run your auctions and get more payments in?

Re: CNBC Story on eBay Fraud
Actually if you find an auction that is selling nothing more than feedback it is reportable, and sometimes Ebay will pull the listing. Ebay has to be careful though with what it does or they will kill their venue only status. I do not see why everyone tries to say Ebay is a monopoly it is not a monopoloy or even close to… -
Re: Buyer wants return after 40+ days
Okay, more info. The seller claims that the slab has some frosting. In his scans, the card does have some minor frosting, but I have slabs that I sent in myself with similar frosting issues. The frosting is only on one side of the card which seems pretty common. I'm not going to name the card or buyer yet because I want to… -
Re: Do you believe this??
Holy isht... that borders in exploitation... seriously. Also, it's probably a total and complete lie. My assertion toward that is the seller's mention of a Nigerian "scammer" winning the unit in a previous auction, but if you look at their auction history you'll see they've only sold off one other unit (also mentioned in… -
Re: .
If someone is asking, they are better off with a CD in a bank or something else boring. It is far too easy to get stuck with a "dog" coins listed at $50k with a retail value of $40k or even less (sometimes a lot less in the case of telephone boiler room scammers). Plenty of non-collectors get the fever and end up with… -
Re: Message from Mr. Ebay
You know when you think about it - Ebay has what 1 or 2 Million Auctions running across all categories. They really don't have the manpower to check every single auction listed at any one time. Their customer service team is probably sitting on a lilly pad in a pond full of alligators. Keyword searches would help in trying… -
Re: 11 Stupid people
Again, my feelings towards someone dumb enough to bid on this (as they are doing it solely out of greed) and other similar types of scam auctions... tough crap. They may not deserve what's coming to them, but they sure should have thought a little more about it before acting so quickly to throw away their money. If they…
