Re: 2000 P PENNY, MAJOR MINT ERROR! MULTI STRIKE! BRIGHT RED! JUST LOOK!
. i came back to this thread to make a somewhat similar post after looking over your feedback, items listed and sold and is one of the rare occasions i was giving the benefit of the doubt because this item was quite out of sorts for the history of this account. that said, when you venture outside your comfort zone, these… -
Some thoughts about image theft.
It appears that scammers are increasingly stealing images of coins (and other items) for use in their own on-line auctions. While the original image is copyrighted automatically I believe that, unless it is formally registered, the only damages that can be obtained thru legal action are actual damages. No punitive damages… -
Re: How To Use Instagram for a Coin Business
I've been on Instagram since 2014 buying and selling coins, paper money etc.. Roughly 13,000 followers. If you have any questions or if you sign up for an account, message me here with any questions and your username so I can follow you. The trick I've found to amass lots of followers is diversify your feed. I post silver… -
Re: National Collector's Mint has really stepped in it this time: 14mg clad gold buffalo "tribute p
This kind of advertisement ultimately leads to buyers getting burned and giving gold yet again some bad press......"hucksters"..."scammers"..."thieves." Once they've found out they've been burned, they might not ever go back to gold in any form. Maybe this kind of negative sentiment for gold is a good thing in the eyes of… -

Re: Low feedback bidders
I had my account suspended for 2 weeks last year due to a low FB bidder bidding on more than one of my auctions then someone else reported me for shilling. Now, do I think low FB buyers should be allowed to bid? Absolutely! How else will they earn their FB? But if you're selling sports cards (mainly graded) it's probably… -
Re: What is the probability of finding a 1916-D ...
<< <i>I took the time to really look at the feedback from one of these "power sellers" a few months ago. With over 10,000 positives, it took a bit of searching to find what I thought I would. A negative was invariably followed by one "buyer" adding 25-30 positives in ONE MINUTE. This essentially buried the negative so it… -
Re: This is a little unusual....even for Ebay
113% of all emails that "appear" to come from eBay or paypal are scams. Everyone who has ever posted here about "is this email real", the answer is ALWAYS no. If you actually suspect the email is real, open your browser directly, type in www.ebay.com, and click on MyEbay and look for messages. This is for any scammers… -
Re: Selling on Ebay no longer worthwhile...
Wouldn't be the "fake slab scare" keeping me away from your auctions or bidding low. Would be the auction. First off, the coin pictured in your first example (the '62 franklin in the NGC holder) looks spotty...is that the photo or the coin that is causing that look? Then, you put in the title stuff I run away from that is… -
Re: Does anyone care to discuss the Frauds perpertrated on collectors in the past??
Fraud is too strong a word for what is described. However, the current situation where cents and nickels cost more to produce than their face value is poor fiscal management. Add the paper dollar and its relative high cost to reprint and replace, vs. a circulating dollar coin and that is many millions down the drain every…
