Re: A business model for pcgs to monetize the bst forum?
<< <i> << <i> Folks have gotten scammed on the BST in the past and, since getting a CU Forums id is a snap, I expect that folks would continue to get scammed. >> To be fair it kind of already has a member feedback collective and I have only heard of a few sour transactions over the years with limited oversight while on… -
Re: BAD "BUYER" OR NOT? ........ISSUE RESOLVED THANKS
I'm with Onebamafan on this one. Terms are stated, buyer never paid or communicated, deserves a NPBA. I give buyers 15 days to pay. No reminders are ever sent, as they receive an invoice from ebay now when the auction closes, and get one from me too. Two invoices are plenty. A seller shouldn't have to ask or reach out to… -
Re: Check Fraud-Identity Theft-REWARD!
Yes, absolutely, call the credit bureaus and put fraud alerts on your files. When I did mine, though, a fraud alert did not mean a bank *could not* issue credit in my stolen name. It just meant that I asked them not to. Again, hope that's gotten better... And the phone calls! Ah, yes, you've reminded me. Even years later I… -
Re: eBay absences...what gets you worried?
Since we are sort of on the subject, how do you guys feel about this policy that some sellers are using: "Bidders with less than 10 feedbacks must contact me before bidding." I know Modern Coin Mart often states this in their terms (they even go a step further and say that bids will be cancelled and IDs will be blocked if… -
Re: Where do YOU draw the line ...
<< <i>There is no one fixed "magic" number or percentage. In general better than 99% is good, better than 99.5% is preferable and anything below 98% is suspect -- at first glance. Even then, sometimes people with a good percentage may have a lot of "negative positives" from people either afraid to retaliate or who clicked… -
Re: Garage Sale Visit: Notice a 1893-S Dollar..What do you do?
<< <i>This actually happened to me... sort of. About 20 years ago, I was able to buy a box of coins at a garage sale for $40. $40 was a lot of money to me back then, but there were a few coins in the box that I KNEW were worth more, so I dashed home, begged mom for the cash, and bought the box-o-coins. Inside was an AU… -
Re: Would any of you favor a PCGS grading designation for some problem coins?
yes and that is why they should put a grade to it, sometimes pics are very hard to inlarge or see, so if like its a VF put that grade and note the problem to. i can see that this just opens the door for scammers. sending in know bad coins and get them slab Genuine .and pass on the bad coin to new collectors . and get a… -
Re: What ever happened to stamp collecting?
We carried stamps and stamp supplies for 15 years before we stopped carrying them due to lack of interest. We were carrying a good inventory in both and were selling ZILCH for those last 3-4 years. The local stamp club meetings and shows were basically all old guys trying to get rid of their junk and not buying anything.… -
Re: How to report stolen scans for sale on ebay??
I hope this new eBayer is not a scammer--because I bought a PSA card from him last week. His feedback was at zero then, but it was a card I kept getting outbid for in previous attempts, so I thought I would take a chance and get it for cheap from a newbie who wouldn't draw the normal amount of bids. I paid with Payal… -
Re: More news on the counterfeit checks
<< <i>A few readers wanted to know whether the bank could put a "hold" on the checks and money orders until it could verify their legitimacy. However, the federal Expedited Funds Availability Act of 1987 requires banks to make the first $5,000 of traveler's check and money order deposits available by the next business day.…
