Re: Jefferson Specialists... the rarest nickel on the bay of E!
Bikingnut, <<I just offered to sell him ten for the low price of $1,000 each.>> I did that once to a scammer and he reported me to eBay for trying to "go around" eBay to sell him something directly! Sometimes it just ain't worth it! Gandyjai I Ikes! -
Re: Was wondering how to get started with placing my coins for sale ?
Go to the BST (Buy, Sell, and Trade) Forum. Post some quality pics of what you are selling. Price what you are selling. Interested parties will contact you by PM. Since you are new here, be prepared to ship what you are selling prior to getting paid for it. We've had some scammers come here who sold coins and then… -
Re: Opinion on buying from pawnshops?
Pawn shops or antique stores tend to overprice their coins - significantly!! Some will negotiate, most will not. I make one reasonable attempt if I am interested in an item... If stonewalled, I just walk away. No sense in haggling with those who are either uninformed, scammers or some combination. Cheers, RickO -
Re: New Ebay Payments Can you still use Paypal?
No, you won't, because the carrier delivered the item. The buyer (scammer) is a thief. Carriers only pay insurance claims if in fact the item is not delivered and/or signed for (lost). Once ebay forces managed payments, I will just sell directly to buyers I know and trust or consign my items for sale. -
Re: dumb question-2nd chance
How did the scammer know who you were? You were identified as bidder 2? I was under the impression ebay did away with the names and went to bidder 1 etc so people would not get phony 2nd chance offers. Did I misunderstand you? SD -
Re: Can you tell me if this Baseball is the real deal?
You should stamp "FAKE" "REPRINT" or "FACSIMILE" on the ball or hole punch / burn it so that it does not fall into the hands of a scammer who will pass it as authentic to a novice collector. Never again will the hobby be the same because your son and dog gave the ball an aged appearance. This has clearly ruined the hobby. -
Re: Second chance offers on ebay
RYK: You got him on the hook now. Time to reel 'im in. You might want to check out 419 Eater for some good tricks on how to bait these guys along even further. It's for the typical Nigerian scammers, but I think it is good research for your mugu. Have fun! -
Re: 1954 Topps
Paypal does have scammers, but if you put delivery confirmaton on every item you sell, you get rid of a lot of problems. I, actually prefer it when people pay me via Paypal. It's easier than going to the bank for a cashier checks. Of course I am not a powerseller. -
Re: I don't care what anyone else said Plante23 is a JERK
Well, I'll tell ya; one thing and you can bet your last $ this will happen..One of the folks here who say he's a good trader is gonna bring him here to defend himself and then we're gonna have yet ANOTHER worthless p.o.s. scammer here on the board -
Re: Ebay-No Retutn of TPG Coins Enforceable? HELP LOL.
This sounds frighteningly similar to another case here for roughly same amount and time frame but I can't recall who it was. I believe after Paypal ruled againstr him even after proof the buyer was a scammer, he got his money back after going to the media about it.
