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: Rec'd a trimmed card from Ebay today....gee
While I don't encourage EEK or anyone to fib, I will say that once you acknowledge in your complaint to PayPal that you received anything at all from the seller, your cause is dead. In a scam earlier this year I received a handfull of worthless 2003 commons instead of the 1965 Mantle PSA 8 that I paid for. The scammer used… -
Re: Another dishonest ebayer
This is the type of card that you shop around to a few auction houses, pick a reputable one that you feel comfortable with and consign the card. Basically, above, you intimated ‘I’d give up approximately 10-15% of this transaction to know the sale is final, that I’m not dealing with a creep or scammer and that I’m getting… -
Re: Another 1874-S WB-4 Seated Liberty half
if you possess a smartphone gen 6 or newer, you should be able to find a few angles to image a coin through a slab simply for diagnostic purposes pretty easily. don't worry about glare and such just so long as it isn't on the target area(s). also don't worry about orientation too much as that can be fixed quite easily in… -
Paypal is a great business partner
Paypal has always taken care of me. Most recently I sold $650 worth of coins off of my website. This turned out to be a fraudulent transaction and a CC chargeback came in. Paypal took the hit because I used a tracking number which got delivered. While they were investigating, another chargeback came in for an eBay… -
eBay buyer returning graded cards

Recently sold several graded cards to this buyer, now I got multiple messages from eBay saying the buyer wants to return these cards because he changed his mind, see attached message. Since when is changing your mind a viable reason for a return, he didn’t even open a case where I had a chance to respond, I just got all of… -
Re: 2008 W Proof Platinum 4 coin sets selling at $2,150? UPDATE: More negs on eBay.
<< <i>I can't keep replying to this thread because it is making me sick to my stomach thinking how people think I am scamming anyone. >> With no information from you (not your fault) some postings went a bit over the top. Now that you have replied, no one in their right mind can think of you as a scammer. You need to speak… -
Re: For an PCGS or NGC eBay auction, do you look for a pic in the slab?
<< <i>For an E-bay auction I will use 3 pics . the full front slab, close up coin obv. and coin rev. Some people hide cert numbers so someone doesn't use it in a set as a phantom coin assuming the purchaser does not register it. >> There is another reason as well.....so many ebay scammers just copy the pic and "sell" the… -
Re: Anyone ever see this slab before??

all I know is that the Paramount company slabbed many silver dollars from the Redfield hoard before I think the 3rd party graders started up in the mid 80s. The dozen or so I've seen all state Gem MS65 on them eventhough they are really MS63 and 64s coins inside. One knowledgable dealer told me once that the Green label… -
Re: another Henderson rip-off artist
"My scanner's broke and I used someone else's picture, but my card is better. Send me $6500 and you'll be happy. See my feedback." I've asked this before: Why do IQ's fall off a cliff with these scammers? I guess the smart ones are the ones we don't talk about here because they get away with it. A few days ago people were…
