Re: offering a bribe in exchange for positive feedback
Buying and selling on ebay seems to me to be too confrontational. It's a hobby we should enjoy. There is no reason to ridicule others in a public forum for what are at most minor irritations. Many don't like being asked for feedback but it happens and has been pointed out perhaps for good reason. I constantly read sellers… -
Re: Best method to determine if a card is trimmed?
A lot of good pointers here - once ya familiarize yourself with vintage cards, it is actually easy to quickly spot trimmed or doctored cards. Depending on how far ya wanna go with learning it, I would recommend buying some PSA 8 and 9 vintage commons, break open the slabs, and familiarize yourself with what a true raw… -
Re: eBay Etiquette Question
If you leave him a negative feedback... just brace yourself the 'Retaliatory Negative Feedback' Ebay proudly proclaims that they refuse to investigate 'Retaliatory Negative' and it, along with the privet auction, are the two most utilized tools of the EBay scammers. My girlfriend sold a RAM chip a month back, the 'hidden… -

Re: E-Bay re-using pictures ?
Ask permission of course but you really should learn how to make a quality picture yourself. Another topic on here is about scammers using stolen scans. One quick way to identify one of these guys is that their scans are all different looking becuase they steal scans from different sellers. How does a bidder determine you… -
Re: What is the cleanest you have ever cracked a slab???
I've only cracked about 8 cards out ever. 3 PSA's and 5 SGC's. The PSA's came apart pretty easy but there was damage to the edges of the slab when doing so. One SGC came out super easy I hardly had to jimmy it at all with a butter knife. A scammer I'm sure would love to get their hands on it as there's no way in telling… -
Re: Just got this response from ebay seller...
Well, if I still wanted the coin and his feedback doesn't make you suspect a scammer, I'd take him at his word and ask him to ship. He's clearly responded, albeit late, and offered a refund. I would ask for a delivery confirmation number as soon as he ships, and within a day or two see if that number corresponds to a… -
Re: My bad experience with seller blp_grlg
This thief should be locked up! I've been one of the first to try and discourage anyone from buying anything "unopened" from this guy. No wonder "she" doesn't accept Paypal payments over $100 and hosts private auctions. I'm very sorry to hear you got screwed by this thief. I'd recommend obtaining her contact info & demand… -
Re: Does any one else find this strange
Sorry, I meant all the T206's were 5's. 100 cards ending all with in 1 day ans some pretty impressive stuff. Could well be his whole collection. But could be a sophisitcated scammer who knows super high end cards will raise too many red flags. As we get smarter spotting them, thet have to get smarter trying to disquise… -
Re: I thought this was the U.S. Coin Forum ? ............
part of the value of this forum is knowing about scammers on ebay. An excellent example being last weeks thread where TDN won a bid on a trade dollar HE knew was fake. He bid on it in order to keeping anyone else getting burned on it for $10K, then he neged the seller. He saw in the coin what 99% of buyers might not have…
