Re: Do you think we now have more scams on ebay than before?
kiyote: If you clearly describe to people what they're going to get, and they bid anyway, that's not a scam. An item's value, after all, is determined by what people will pay for it. However, if you bid on a Playstation, and receive a box with a brick in it for your trouble, then that is a scam, by any definition. I think… -
Re: I don't know...maybe it can't be fixed
Mike; First, let me say thanks for your hard work to thwart these crooks. It sounds like you have had more than a modicum of success. And you're right. If enough people make enough noise, authorities will respond. But, they don't make it easy. At least per my experience. I was victimized by a scammer in RI. Not trimming.… -
Re: .
I guess I just have to be the bad guy here, but I couldn't disgaree more...I've found him to be difficult and frustrating to the point that I had to block him on IM just to remind myself. I have a local dealer who agrees completely and frequents this board; he was just telling me last week how he is totally done dealing… -
More eBay "joy"
I put "eBay" in the title so as not to waste the valuable time of board members who feel eBay is not relevant to the coin market, or at least the market that interests them. I sell mostly common numismatic items and silver, gold, and platinum bullion coins. My last auction ended Sunday, 11/6. I was dismayed to see a 0… -
Re: Shipping charge includes 65 cents for gas...
Well, today eBay customer support ruled in my favor, so I got back my costs including shipping. When I saw the seller's full name, it gave me a mild shock. The seller, Tom Yriarte, has a brother named Rodney. Three years ago, I won a 1971 OPC #709 Baylor/Baker rookie from Rodney for a very reasonable price of $150. I pay… -
Re: Ignore

Clackamas, If you exceeded a return window becasue you were out of town, that was strictly your responsibility. If that was going to be an issue it had to be stated up front with the seller. I have found ebay sellers less and less willing to allow returns unless they explicitly state so in the auction policies. It is… -
Re: Davalillo booted

Re: PSA Registry Site improvements?
I'd like to see PSA offer a premium pop report subscription that would look something like this... - You could get a complete list of cert numbers by grade for each card (including cards returned ungraded), and see the date each card was graded (and perhaps even the invoice number). It might also be nice to see any notes… -
Re: Newly found branch mint proof specimen?? TAKE A LOOK!
Well Barucci911 You can understand the skepticism you are encountering. Not saying its justified or even legitimate. On the Board is well over 1000 years of experience and 100's of members who have spent their entire lives looking at coins and collecting with passion. Many have written articles and books on the subject.… -
Re: PLEASE HELP! Do coins actually have a grade? A GRADE - NOT A VALUE!
I could tear the OP apart, but all it would do would be to start another fight. Like it or not these factors lower or limit how high the grade can be. * strike * luster * number of surface marks * rub * damage beyond normal wear and tear The first two can keep a mark-free, straight from the dies coin from grading any…
