Re: VCP Question please
<< <i> << <i>I think the answer is obvious. >> That's an interesting point though. How does VCP distinguish between auctions of fake Mantles vs a legit auction? We all have seen obvious fakes go through the auction process and close with a final bid. Do those get captured in VCP pricing history? >> Our software pulls in… -
Re: Exhibit refused @ WFM
I am all about freedom of expression but this is kind of a non issue imo. The ANA has the right to accept or reject exhibits at their discretion; it's their show...and given the current administration's recent activities, they likely don't need any more bad pub, and allowing exhibits of coins that have been adjudicated… -
Re: eBay seller agrees to ship to PO Box, eBay/Paypal say no, Updated 8/23/11
<< <i> << <i>eBay and PayPal didn't say no, the seller did. It's a seller controlled setting. Russ, NCNE >> If the seller has set P.O. Boxes as an excluded shipment location for his listings and a buyers primary shipping address is set to a P.O. Box, they should have been blocked from bidding by the sellers excluded… -
Re: Why do coin supply dealers continue to sell PVC Soft Flips?
<< <i>The soft vinyl flips sold in the past 15 years or so are stabillized and/or low plasticizer not particularly harmful to coins. The offending flips were greasy, smelled like a new shower curtain, and displayed a rainbow like an oil slick when held to the light. I am not aware of any suppliers selling these types of… -
Re: Winners announced for: Offering a prize/coin for the best/most helpful idea and/or thread.....
In all seriousness. I think there is one area of great need. I am not certain if these exist but I see a great need for seminars on "how to avoid ripoffs and scams on E-bay". I see plenty of advertisements on how to make money on EBay but never seen one on how not to lose money. Would be a great seminar at YN meetings.… -
Re: Could we, as collectors, have softened the blow of RYK’s Folly™, and is it time for a numismatic cou
I read your post Graphix and you raise a good point. What's unspoken here is that almost all of us hope to sell our coins and realize a little profit. You (and others) are free of this burden and are enjoying coins for their history, etc. which is what it's really all about. I remember fondling my coins, letting my… -
Re: Talk about deceptive...
<< <i>His feedback is over 14,000. It seems as though he does it for his records.Probably sells a # of lots,so he needs a code for them. He describes this in his auction.Doesn't seem bad to me. >> Maybe he sells a number of lots. The problem is...this isn't one of them. It's deceptive to put the word "lot" in the title,… -
Re: The NTC Experiment---or---is NTC as bad as we give them credit for?
I think it's fine and good to remind the educated collector that yes, there ARE some diamonds in the rough and that they, who have the experience to weed out the scammers and grade coins on their own, can find great bargains in that plastic on occasion. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. However, it's also VERY… -
Re: The Answer is to Modify the Price Guides, Not to Change the Grading Scale or Standards
When a dealer owns the coin it will be PQ. When the collector owns the coin it will be considered overgraded. Try selling a PQ coin in a 64 holder for $1,000 when the PCGS price guide says $400. The only dealer who'll pay that much is the one who thinks he can get an upgrade to 65 and sell at $2,600 -- the result that… -
Re: An eBay auction Q&A that shows how much fraud goes on.
This "United Kingdom" stuff is happening EVERYWHERE: Just worked with bank in Chicago, police, FBI on same issue with World Series Tickets. Wanted to send me the tickets, but FIRST SENT ME a check for $4000 for me to deposit, and then to wire money back Western Union to someone "they owed money to in my area". I knew it…
