Re: It is good karma to pay MORE to the dealer for the right coin than the dealer asked for their coin!
So this gentleman walks in with dark glasses on. He exclaims boldly, "the lady who answers the phone says you pay 20 times face for silver". I um, uh... er, ahem, um, I sorta stammered and stuttered before finally realizing I'm not going to beat this guy out of a dime. So my response is like " Ooooohkay, well I don't want… -
Re: Should I NEG this seller?
<< Buyers like you should stick to shopping in actual stores. You can control all aspects of the transaction. You can decide how far and what store to drive to and see the item in person. You can pay retail for an item that will sell cheaper on the bay. You can pay the sales tax to keep the government running. By shopping… -
Re: The Boston Marathon bomber hears his fate.
<< <i>Kindofa 6 of one half dozen of another. No doubt this POS needs some serious suffering...but, at the age of 21 and stuck in a max prison till you die, in a 12x7 cell with one hour out a day...I would think at some point he would lose his mind. 60++ years in Colorado is a tall order. So, if he goes the appeal route,… -
Re: ***********Large Cents***************!!!!
To add to that: AU, you are new (9 posts and joined in June2006). You should learn the way before just jumping in and spamming with your For Sale threads in an ebay L@@K style. Also, you state large cent(S) in your title, but I see 1 listed. You state to "make offer" but you don't have your PM function enabled. You list a… -
Re: Please vote in this PCGS online Survey...
I think only an idiot would commit large sums of money for a coin which purportedly does not exist and even then, only because the bat had already been sold. The point being, when fantasy coins hit the market they get publicity just exactly the same way as recently released fantasy pieces. This creates a referenceable… -

Re: Grading Standards and the Big Two...
<< <i>I think it's a travesty that there is such a thing as 'tightening up of grading standards' in the first place!! >> Yes, but many people think it is a travesty that there's such a thing as loosening of grading standards that necessitated tightening! << <i>Who was responsible for the standards to get so loose anyways?… -
Re: email from dealer, good for a chuckle
do what i did: i had the same situation recently where the dealer used Coin Values pricing to get his "deal" across. I told him i already had that coin (which i did), but countered by saying: "you're an honest dealer, and i wouldn't mind giving you first crack on a couple similar coins." he said "sure!". I quickly tested…
