Re: Great Lakes is at it again....
Yep, the scams that worked 10-15 years ago, or even hundreds of years ago in various ways, the con artists out there will try to find new modern ways to make them work. Frankly, it's just too easy to start a new business name, open up a bank account in that name, and use a new address. Then the scammer is back in action… -
Re: TV Coin Sellers
It's great that a few started collecting because of these scammers, but think of all that way overpaid and said screw it. Now if they actually sold the stuff for market rate they would be a benefit to the hobby. As it is now they kill the potential for appreciation on modern stuff by buying boat loads of stuff in an… -
Re: Common Franklin Half for Moon Money
<< <i>I might be inclined to cut her a bit of slack. She might have done a quick Ebay search, seen a moon money super high grade gem, and not had the knowledge or education to accurately assess her coin and circumstances. The world is full of tired, sometimes over burdened people with stars in their eyes, hoping for some… -

Re: Went to one of the hotel coin buying events...
I have always wanted to do this. Hopefully I will get the chance soon. These people can afford to be friendly - you don't want to scare away the easy marks. I can only imagine what their offers will be when I show them some of my treasures. Should be an interesting discussion. I recall someone wanting to set up a competing… -
Re: Need help with a 52' Topps Mantle Purchase >>
Hi and welcome to the boards. The '52 Mantle is one of the most popular cards amongst scammers. So you are justified in being extra careful. Frosty (from being cracked open and resealed) or even fake holders with fake printed labels are common. Your best bet is to buy it off a reputable dealer like 707 or a very high… -
Re: You want the truth here it all is hope you can handle it
Seems as though some positives are coming out of all this. The honest guys have let it be known to all that we won't stand for crap like this, so future cheaters are now on notice to make dam sure they're one hell of a lot smarter than Gary. Some folks including myself are out some dough, but other than that, it's been… -
Re: eBay Scam Artist's Sports Card & Memorabilia Collection Went on the Auction Block Today
Too bad he already unloaded his good stuff (if he ever had any) before the plea agreement. No doubt that's WHY he was ready to cut a deal, because he knew the stuff he had left was junk. Probably scammed the prosecutors by overestimating the value of what he had remaining by a factor of 20. Anyway, it's good to read about… -
Re: Best day of the week to end eBay auctions on. - poll
<< <i>I feel that the best selling season is between Thanksgiving and Christmas. >> I agree on that.. I got $50 to $100's more for big named cards that I sold in November/December before Christmas than what they averagely would go for in other months. Good ol' wives trying to pick up nice rare cards for their husbands.… -
Re: Paypal Email I recieved...Possible Scam
It doesn't do any good, it's a total waste of time, to forward these scam e-mails - They are from foreign underground scammers, and there's nothing ebay or PayPal can do about it. Another thing - don't even open these e-mails, because e-mail programs can tell if a receiver opened the e-mail, and when they know you at least…
